Barack Obama used yesterday's Oval Office meeting with President Bush to press for immediate aid for the struggling US car industry, according to leaked reports.

The USA is in deeper financial trouble that we realize. Obama and his union thugs will bankrupt the entire country. GM is in trouble because they cannot be competitive with a $1,800 surcharge on each and every car thanks to demands by union thugs. Now the thugs want the taxpayers to pay the $1,800 for them; that is socialism.

With that $1800 surcharge do it come with a DVD player?

We've spent the last eight years being told that dissent is the highest form of patriotism.

I choose to express my dissent using my wallet. Will NEVER by an American nameplate car again. Ever (besides, Toyotas and Hondas easily last 2x as long with lower maintenance costs).

$1,800

I believe it's been calculated at $8,000 per car for union pensions and healthcare.
