And why are gas prices going up, Mr. President?
Could it be because of the weak dollar and a lack of drilling?

I have a friend who’s a communist. He thinks forcing people to do things is great! Unless it’s people forcing him to do something. Then it’s terrible. I laugh at him.

That's why his mega Black Mariya campaign buses costing $1.2 mil each and were built in Canada; just doing the job Americans wouldn't do.

Thanks to cheap gas and the resurgence of small trucks which make profit margins of up to $5,000 per vehicle taxpayer-assisted GM and Chrysler are in the black again. Thanks to cheap gas?

You cant just make money on SUVs and trucks,
Uh, yes you can. What he means is that you can’t just produce the SUV’s and trucks, instead he wants to force increased production of the small cars. Those small cars have been inflated out of American affordability by federal regulations out the wazoo....so, in order to actually sell them, the automakers must sell them at a loss.
So, yes you only make money on the SUVs and trucks in order to be ABLE to offer the smaller cars at a loss.

On the balance I think it’s good advice. America has an excellent software industry, great airplane manufacturers but has lagged behind in automobile manufacturing.
You don’t have to be a genius to figure out that if China is projected to have in excess of 200 million automobiles by 2020 (we haven’t talked about India or other emerging economies yet!), then fuel efficiency needs to be taken very seriously.
The Japanese ate Detroit’s lunch in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s because they were quick to respond to the market’s demand for fuel efficient cars.

What’s also ridiculous is preaching against trucks and SUV’s in Minnesota. That states loaded with trucks and SUVs for good reason. Ever try to do farm work with a prius?

I wonder how many MPG it gets? I'm going to hold my breath until the NYT or Washington Post provide this information to us in an editorial.

Barry is the least knowledgeable, least experienced, and least capable of anyone in any meeting he chooses to attend on any topic.....except maybe on the topic of sit-ins, harassment, or community agitation.

He is indeed a moron. He doesn’t seem to have in the most basic understanding of economics.

Obama couldn't even run a hamburger diner. But if he did, he'd spend all his time blaming the restaurant's problems on the previous manager...
To: KansasGirl
>’’ He doesn’t seem to have in the most basic understanding of economics’’< No, he doesn’t. Any ten year-old child knows that if something costs ten dollars and they have only two, they know they’re eight dollars short. To Barack Obama it means you’ve been cheated and somebody’s holding out on you.

"Stalin was like God for us. We just believed he was an absolutely perfect individual, and he lived somewhere in the Kremlin, a light always in his window, and he was thinking about us, about each of us...For example, someone told me that Stalin could be the best surgeon. He could perform a brain operation better than anyone else, and I believed it." --Pavel Litvinov

What enviro-nazis like 0bama don't get is that because of cafe fuel economy standards automakers were banned from making station wagons. The way to get around the standards was to kind of graft the station wagon onto a truck body, hence the SUV.
Since we no longer make station wagons, how does a family load the kids, their assorted luggage and maybe some groceries into one of Obama's "green" cars? The answer is you can't, so that's why there's a market for SUVs.
0bama needs to leave the car business to people who know what they're talking about and stick to what he does best, teleprompter reading, bloviating , pontificating and generally screwing up the economy.
