The Car Government Builds for (not) Every Man

There it is: the pride of Government Motors; even Prez Obama had to sit behind the wheel to enjoy the new-car smell of the Chevy volt and the billions in Government money that props it up.

You see, the Chevy Volt has a couple of techical features that at first might seem to cramp its style: a range of 40 miles on a full battery charge and enough room for perhaps two full-sized adults and precious little luggage.

With its $41,000 price tag, it has a couple of marketing problems also. The first is, most people can't afford it even if they wanted one. But no fear, the Government is offering a $7,500 tax rebate to those who persevere and actually buy one of these things.

That raises a question, will anyone buy it? Yes, says GM's marketing consulting firm; Deloitte Consulting says that the demand for such cars is from “young, very high income individuals” from households that make more than $200,000 a year, which is why the Volt will be rolled out in upscale, trendy urban markets.

Isn't that just so special? The working class folks who can't afford such a monstrosity will be paying taxes to subsidize the upper-income somethings with no children who will buy it.

Sounds like a scheme only Michelle "Antoinette" Obama could make up!

Michelle "Antionette" Obama....." I do it for the little people"

The 2010 Spainish Vacation of Michelle Obama and 40 of her "closest" friends is reaching French Revolution proportions in awareness by the "little people". Read it all .......here.

Sacrifice is something that many Americans are becoming all too familiar with during this economic downturn. It was a key theme in President Obama's inaugural address to the nation, and he's referenced it numerous times when lecturing the country on how to get back on its feet.

But while most of the country is pinching pennies and downsizing summer sojourns - or forgoing them altogether - the Obamas don't seem to be heeding their own advice. While many of us are struggling, the First Lady is spending the next few days in a five-star hotel on the chic Costa del Sol in southern Spain with 40 of her "closest friends." According to CNN, the group is expected to occupy 60 to 70 rooms, more than a third of the lodgings at the 160-room resort. Not exactly what one would call cutting back in troubled times.

Reports are calling the lodgings of Obama's Spanish fiesta, the Hotel Villa Padierna in Marbella, "luxurious," "posh" and "a millionaires' playground." Estimated room rate per night? Up to a staggering $2,500. Method of transportation? Air Force Two.

And read here about the rising anger of taxpayers who are footing the bill for this largesse. Of course you have to read that in a UK paper since the Lame Stream Media in the US totally ignore the stories of Michelle "Antionette" Obama

"We have problems, others have to solve them for us",,,M. Obama

Speaking to the NAACP’s National Convention in Kansas City today, First Lady Michelle Obama said her husband is where he is today because of the organization, and now is not the time to "rest on our laurels."

Really? Actually her husband is where he is today because he fooled a whole bunch of white people into voting for his slightly veiled socialist agenda.

Enjoy this one, When African American communities are still hit harder than just about anywhere by this economic downturn, and so many families are just barely scraping by, I think the founders would tell us that now is not the time to rest on our laurels.

She failed to mention this is her husband's engineered economic downturn.

And of course we get this push for equal outcomes instead of equal opportunities; When stubborn inequalities still persist -- in education and health, in income and wealth -- I think those founders would urge us to increase our intensity, and to increase our discipline and our focus and keep fighting for a better future for our children and our grandchildren.”

And then we get the victim analogy; We are living today in a time where we’re decades beyond slavery, we are decades beyond Jim Crow; when one of the greatest risks to our children’s future is their own health. African American children are significantly more likely to be obese than are white children.

Read the whole story here, you will see nothing about personal responsibility. Her message is that we are still victims and we are waiting for someone to fix our problems for us.

What a role model.......
