Awwwww...and the Obumbler was going to buy one too!   Really.....he said he would.    Really.


No....you are wrong hiroad, about the "now". I watched it on channel 8. They said the nominal model sold for 24K on the NBC evening news. Then I watched the channel 8 local news and they said the QCA price was standard at $32K and that not one has sold in the QCA! What does that tell us? Then, they closed the segment that related obama said he would buy one ***after*** he leaves office.


I pray he leaves soon.

32k for a volt?  I don't think so.  After 20 years in the car biz, I know a bait and switch when I see one.  The car doesn't sell because it's too much money.  By the time you add the options that most want and freight, it's 42k.  At that price you're competing with some very fine automobiles.  But lets say that you could buy a volt for 32k.  For the same money you could have a LOADED Camry XLE, or a LOADED Prius, or any number of great cars that you don't have to wait around for 3 to 6 hours to go somewhere in.

Today, there's nearly a 6 month supply of Volts on hand.  Thats what happens when the Govt. thinks it knows what's best for us.

Yessir....I kept wondering what kind of boob would buy an underpowered, overpriced, government subsidized, fire trap piece of crap like the Volt.  And then Obamas name is mentioned, and my wondering ceased.

All these Obumbler decisions about "green energy" are not about the environment.  They are about politics, votes, and possessing and retaining power.

The outcome from Obumbler's decisions about where to spend our money and who to "give" it to, have prooved those decisions to be incredibly stupid, if you have the well being of the citizenry as your measure of success.  If you have the well being of the democrat party as the measure of your success, we will find out in Nov.
