Honestly, I almost feel sorry for Chrysler
« on: November 14, 2009, 02:56:25 PM »
Their advertising budget was slashed by Obama's administration during the takeover. I've seen a total of about 4 commercials since then. Their sales are way down, and I attribute much of that directly to lack of advertising.

their newest commercial for RAM trucks is sad. Horribly sad. Just pictures thrown together. With their new HD line coming out and the great redesign of the 1500 series, this is quite sad for them. Then again, they made their bed... but Obama set it on fire.

It is sad but part of it is a backlash for taking the money in the first place.  Ford sales went up partly because they didn't take a bailout.

Of course, now that Ford is showing a bit of an uptick, their union thugs are looking to destroy them again.

I think the moral of the story is:

It is better to make a deal with the Devil than to strike a bargain with the federal government.

When you turn to Satan to heal you, don't be surprized because your physician enjoys seeing you die.

When you make a deal with the devil, the saints will turn against you.
I bailed out on Chrysler a few years ago.  My PT Cruiser was built in Mexico, the dealer should have also imported mechanics.  Toward the end they were just guessing and changing parts.  I doubt they could even figure how to work on my 68 Cuda nor will they ever have the chance as log as I own it. 

Saturn met satin too.  Obama is a putz.
