Obama probably thinks of NASCAR as a “dumb cracker thang,” so even if this is an April Fool’s joke, he’s probably already considered it.

These companies should just file for bankruptcy because they are already doomed with this pinhead in charge. We are truly living in bazaar times when a president is running auto manufacturing companies. It's even worse when it's a president who never had a real job in his life.

The President realizes this will be an unpopular call, but stands behind the decision, saying, “This is an obvious cut to make, but it is not an easy one. This administration is not ignoring the tremendous sentimental value and emotional appeal NASCAR holds for so many Americans. But now is not the time for sentiment and nostalgia; now is a time for decisive financial action. If our automotive industry is to emerge from this recession intact, then these difficult decisions must be made.”
Obama you said this? I hope so it just outs you for the bigger idiot than most believe. And you said you were not running the auto industry.
But I suspect this is an April fools joke.

Well, I guess Obama has finally answered John Kerry’s memorable question, “Who among us does not like NASCAR?”

Well, it does show up if you Google it, on car and driver, and also Road and Driver. And Jared Gall is a writer for them. I suppose it could be craftily entered in to the internet as an April Fool’s joke.....but......

Actually electric engines are more effecient than internal combustion. I think there are electric racers. Formula 1 just added a battery thing that charges up during a lap and gives the cars 6.6 seconds of 80+ more hp or probably 800 bhp.
Obama is destroying the country and stealing all of our rights. If you think he cares or is worried about NASCAR then you “ain’t” paying attention. I am not putting down NASCAR or fans but he could care less what we think.

Gotta be an April fools article. Could be, but this sounds just like him: The President realizes this will be an unpopular call, but stands behind the decision, saying, “This is an obvious cut to make, but it is not an easy one. This administration is not ignoring the tremendous sentimental value and emotional appeal NASCAR holds for so many Americans. But now is not the time for sentiment and nostalgia; now is a time for decisive financial action.
