If this POS is re-elected you will own a GM (gov-mint) car or your legs will be broken!

This! I would say that 0 is is “hiding in plain sight”. Except he isn’t hiding. America is in grave trouble if this man is re-elected.

Hmmmm. Let’s see. Repeat Obama’s “success” with the auto industry with the rest of U.S. industries. Well. OK. Here goes. An Obama recipe for industrial “success”:

1. Bankrupt the industry with union labor, government regulation, and bad management.

2. Steal the bondholders’ ownership and make the government the owner of the industry, perhaps giving away part of it to a foreign competitor, you know, like giving Chrysler to Fiat.

3. Shovel 100 billion dollars at the industry to save 60,000 domestic union jobs, but send the rest of the jobs and manufacturing overseas.

4. Make products (like the Volt) that no one is willing to buy, even when subsidized to the tune of $100,000.00 of taxpayer payoffs per unit.

5. Have the stock in the new company drop 42% during the next two years.

Rinse and repeat for each U.S. industry. Yeah, Obama, that should work REAL well, you asshole!

We've lost a key demographic in this country within the last decade: WW2 veterans. They've been replaced largely by dopes.

I think a great many people oppose these bailouts only because they didn't get one.

Sure, let’s bail out Solyndra and all the other failing, failed and bankrupt green industries that you’ve already funded.

ENOUGH

The more commonly used term is “National Industrial Policy”.
But it is Socialism nonetheless.

Sorry, I sent a private reply, didn't mean to.

"I keep meaning to look into just how that process works. How can the executive branch just dole out money? The ability has probably been around for eons but this admin has brought it to light."

Don’t forget the extension cord that goes with that.

Ya got that right. Here in Western PA the steel mills closed 30 years ago. Most of them have been torn down, and there are now office parks and upscale malls sitting on those sites.

Yet we still have a bunch of people sitting around thinking that all those jobs with the sweet union benes would come flocking back, if ONLY we'd elect the RIGHT politician with the RIGHT policies.

It is true elsewhere in the Rust Belt I reckon.

Arrest him now. Either 50 million of us march on the WH and defy these SS pimps to shoot us, or the Joint Chiefs arrest him. If we don’t stop him with arrest before November, this country is finished.

I saw a Chevy dolt today in Alton; as far as I know there are no “charging stations anywhere in the riverbend area. And when you do find one, do you have to pay for it?

“auto industry success”????????

The bastards STOLE GM from the stock holders and GM still owes major money back to the government. Stealing the stock and giving it to the unions was NOT a success in my book, unless you consider thivery a success.

You left off the bond holders whose claims were senior to stockholders.

If the UAW members begin dying off today it won’t be too soon.

Aw, give him a break; it was a typo. I'm pretty sure he meant we are all little blue creatures, two apples high, constantly being pursued by some cranky old guy and his cat. He just left out the 'm'.
