Obama stole money from the stock holders of General Motors to pay off the unions. Now he is spending Federal Dollars on unreliable vehicles that are over priced.Communism is wonderful,isn’t it folks?
Hey, it’s “crony capitalism”.
It sounds like a racket. Obama gives federal funds out, which the towns are supposed to use to buy Chevy Volts. The towns can claim “green” credentials, Obama is happy when he sees increased sales of Chevy Volts, as he reviews his sales numbers in his job as CEO of Government Motors, and everybody is happy, theoretically.
City of Detroit is buying Volts next year for their entire motor pool. Okay, just kidding, but don’t be surprised if Zero won’t do more with our federal dollars to push this POS car to other cities and municipalities.
The city might want to expect the Volt’s charging station to burn down the city garage.
I recently spoke to a sales associate at a local Chevy dealership who told me that demand from individual consumers for the Volt is practically non-existent.

Good. Nothing symbolizes failure like Obama and Chevy Volts.
Be a Dolt!
Buy a Volt!
It’s as sexy as a Colt!
Burns when charged, chars your house!
Engine powered by a mouse!
Lookout! Here comes a Chevy Volt!
Wonder if this is more “artificially inflate the sales numbers” BS.
My hometown, great. And the other town mentioned Babylon, NY was my mom’s hometown.
That's approximately 10% of the total federal grant.
Where did the rest of the money go?
I’ve no doubt it’s to increase sales and Obama’s ego over his greenie program and his union bailout of GM. The turkey has unlimited taxpayer funds as long as he can keep getting Congress to pass another stimulus package of some kind.
And as long as mind numbed morons support it, they can get extra Benjamins on the side to mask the fakery.
The only real customer for GovMotors’ Volt is going to be government
Exactly! Plus a company like GE who got federal grant money and sells charging stations for EV's.
Just like the stimulus, most of just seems to vanish into thin air. I heard that Seattle got $20 million to weatherize houses, they did 13 houses. Do you think it cost $20 million to weatherize 13 houses? Of course not. This example is apparently typical nationally. The Stimulus weatherization & other programs were nothing more than a political slush fund.
Why did the GOP not investigate? I guess they and their buddies got 10% or so of it. The MSM won’t touch it, of course. Somehow watching millions and millions vanish into political pockets doesn’t interest them enough to even ask a single question about it.
I wonder if taxpayer money is going to the old media like GM and Chrysler ads. What? They’re bought off like whores? Journalism 101.
GE, ADM and other beneficiaries of federal largesse are heavy advertisers on TV. Who donates to who. What donations do these corporations make. The biggest advertisers seem to support leftwing causes, Procter & Gamble, Merk (mandate our expensive shots!) etc
How many times over do we have to pay and pay and pay for this bs?
