Aren’t civil servants supposed to be our, well, servants?
How did they transform into our masters?

WTF’s up with this guy? He IS a Republican, right?!? From what I’ve read on this site, he was a right-of-center congressman during his time. Wow.

I think some of this craziness could be curbed simply by moving the capital of this country to someplace west of the Mississippi (not California). Westerners have a very different lifestyle, and as a matter of common sense it involves more car use. A lot of federal-level politicians don't get that. They want everyone to live like they're in DC, Boston, and New York.

Corrupt IL RINO Combiner. He ran out Sen. Fitzgerald for the totalitarian fascist pig occupying the White House, and the Cabinet job was payback.

Does Obama think that GM and Chrysler will make their money exporting their product to India or China? Obama is very active in the auto industry. He's giving control to the UAW, he's hiking up the mpg requirements, and he's trying to coerce people not to drive at all. It's all very strange.
Sudenly I'm thinking of the James Bond movie Goldfinger, with Bond strapped to a table, and a powerful laser beam inching toward him:
Bond: Do you really expect me to talk?
Goldfinger (laughing): No Mr. Bond! I expect you to die.
Obama does not expect the US automakers to become viable businesses. He expects them to be totally destroyed.

He says he has joined a transformational administration: I think we can change people's behavior, Sounds like he has already been through the re-education camp himself.

I love riding my bicycle to work. But one of the reasons it is fun is that I DON’T HAVE TO RIDE MY BIKE TO WORK!!!
I wish these people would leave us the he** alone.

Somewhere in the OK panhandle ... the main alternative to a car would be a horse. Yes, we are definitely going backwards. The Luddites have seized control.

Typical nanny-state liberal mindset — change the rubes’ behavior to suit the masters in power.

He would never be elected again in Peoria with this policy.
The population of his district is spread over a big countryside..in nice suburbs and country homes.
The remaining city—Peoria—is in real trouble. They don’t ride the buses cause they don’t work. Good luck riding a bike in the winter..ha.

and Lahood is a REPUBLICAN (RINO branch of the GOP)
RINO’s want to coerce you out of your car.
True Liberal Dems just want to cap you as you’re
sitting behind the wheel.
