Chairman Mo, George Soros flunk on Chery Chery

By Judi McLeod

Tuesday, December 26, 2006

2007’s getting off to a gloomy start for partners Maurice Strong and George Soros.

The deadly duo, who had big plans to flood the American market with as many as 250,000 cheap Chinese-made Chery cars in 2007 are instead facing Chery worldwide recall.

You’d never know it from the mainstream media, but Strong and Soros, who formed the `Partnership from Hell’, are already on thin ice in the auto industry.

I think we need to be very wary of all things made in China!

[tcrlaf]

CAn you say "YUGO"???

[NewHampshireDuo]

No comparison to the Yugo. This is a cheap clone of a Yugo.

[ghost of nixon]

UAW should be really happy to hear this - the Dem's #1 bag man is trying to put their members out of work.

[mak5]

Daimler-Chrysler has been negotiation with Chery recently to have their new crossover vehicle built in China.

In A Yugo ~by Paul Shanklin

As the snow flies
At a used car lot on the edge of town
A liberal guy and a liberal gal
Buy a yugo

And they drive with pride

Cause if there's one thing this world needs
It's environmental friends who'll take the lead
In a yugo

They say, "people dont you understand
Those suburbans are ruining the land"
But they'll wish they had a full size van one day
They point fingers at you and me
They say we're too blind to see
But do we simply use our heads
And choose another way?

As those small wheels turn
Fifty miles to the gallon
And their knees on their chest
They're gonna save enough gas
For all of the rest
In a yugo

Then one day on the interstate
They suddenly lose control
They swerve to miss a baby duck
They're squashed beneath a produce truck

But they drove with pride...

And as the crowds drive past a little flat car
You know they saved a lot of gas
But they didnt get far
In a yugo

And as they're trapped inside
At a used car lot on the other side of town
A liberal guy and a liberal gal
Buy a yugo....

And they drive with pride...

[Mr. Lucky]

Dude, that's mean.

I'm glad that Canada Free Press is pointing out the true nature of their business.

"Soros is still railing against the presence of George W. Bush in the White House. After blowing $23 million to keep Bush from returning to the Oval Office, Soros told reporters in 2004, if Bush were to be re-elected, he planned to go away to “some kind of monastery to reflect on what is wrong with us.”

But now these anti-US blowhards will be ringing in the New Year with embarrassing business headaches."

If the Chicom scooters are any indication of quality, I would run away from a Chicom car. The final assembly quality control is non-existant.

[carolinalivin]

My cousin and three others were arrested for a push-by shooting in a Yugo!

I wonder how many people at Moveon.org or the DailyKos have already made down payment on these idealistic socialist cars?

[bannie]

I try hard to not purchase chinese products.

I will not buy any of their products which come into contact with our food (ie, flatware, pots/pans, storage containers, plates, etc.). I don't trust 'em for things like lead content, and I don't trust our government to regulate them.

On the "Executive Privileges" CD, one of his best!

A kind of “Poor Man’s Wheels”, the Chery can be bought in China for $3,600. In the United States, the Chery list price is expected to be around $20,000.

Poor man's wheels are to cost $20K ? Thanks but no thanks.

[doug from upland]

Indeed. The head union thugs should be going after Soros big time in the press. Oh, I guess this won't appear as a story on moveon.org, huh?

[april15Bendovr]

Thank you for posting the song.

I hope those who haven't heard take the time to check it out.

I wonder if Paul ever did anything with Joni Mitchells lyrics - Big Yellow Taxi?

[doug from upland]

A 5-year-old was trying out his new bicycle with training wheels that Santa brought him for Christmas. He hit the neighbor's Chery, and this is the result --
