So, apparently the fed is now in the business of building cars. That should be interesting. Obama decided to fire GM CEO Rick Wagoner on Monday, a man with more than thirty years of experience in the auto industry. I guess the only blame I would place on Wagoner is for not breaking GM's paralyzing union contracts. Other than that, how can you fault a man with so much of his life invested in one company who has essentially put the interests of actually having a business not fail over government's wishes? Sure, Barry and the fed want eco-boxes to be the vehicles of choice in this country. But nobody who actually works for a living and buys a car wants to drive a go-cart. GM builds SUVs because SUVs are what Americans want to buy. Sorry Barry, it's going to take a lot more of your fascism to force us into these tiny death traps on wheels. But, that's beside the point. Suddenly the President of these United States of America can fire a CEO of a private, non-government company. Is this Nazi Germany?! Is this Mussolini's Italy?! Not yet, at least. I don't know about you, but hearing Barry guarantee my Chevy Malibu doesn't exactly make me want to pack it up and drive out to Yellowstone for a family vacation. I'm sure it will make the trip out to one of the 57 states without incident, but I'm not keen on standing in line for four hours at the DMV to fill out my fifteen dozen "Federal Road Trip Application Permissive Forms". I can understand how Barack Obama could dream of running a car company. Look at all the glory and celebrity these car company CEOs enjoy on a daily basis. They go to Cannes, they go to the Oscars, they marry supermodels and guest star on Ellen DeGeneres's show all the time. But most importantly, they disregard sales tracking data on a regular basis and build hybrids and gas misers, and then use their aforementioned celebrity to force American citizens to buy them. You know, the typical "soccer mom" who drives eight kids to practice every afternoon, who shares the roads with single, sexy secretaries in their sedans who drive and apply their sexy makeup at the same time. She shares the roads with real estate agents who drive while typing a half dozen emails on their laptops with one hand, while conferencing with their boss on their cell phone in the other hand. Obviously soccer moms feel much more secure and safe ferrying their and other parents' children in their 3000 pound hybrid, as opposed to the 5000 pound SUV. But, alas, this is precisely why Barack Obama wants to run the car companies. Because he really does care about the children. Never mind the suffocating debt he's about to saddle yours and my great, great grandchildren with. Seriously, if I hear another person talk about how Barry inherited all this debt from Bush, I'm going to punch them. Because as we all know, when we take over a new job that was left in disarray, the obvious solution is to multiply those problems tenfold. Obviously. But that's another show...
