President Obama boasted at a United Auto Workers conference last week that General Motors was back in business, producing cutting-edge vehicles like the plug-in electric Chevrolet Volt. He even promised to buy one when his time in office ends “five years from now.”
Whoops! Just three days later, GM announced that it would suspend Volt production for five weeks this spring, idling 1,300 workers.

Have you hear the news that Fisker’s $100,000 hybrid sports car, which received a subsidy from the Obama administration, died before Consumer Reports could start testing it? Then there’s the $50 CFC light bulb produced, in part, with a $10 million prize from Obama and Co. Folks, you can’t make this stuff up. It’s funny–until you realize that they’re spending your money.
