President Obama on cars
From the San Fransisco Chronicle:
At Friday's news conference, President Obama tried to connect with the common man coping with rising gasoline prices. Instead, the president left little doubt that he is clueless about cars.
"You may want to buy a fuel-efficient car," quoth Obama, "but you may not be able to afford it. And so you're stuck with the old clunker that's getting 8 or 10 miles a gallon."Eight to 10 mpg? Which clunker would that be? I wondered. An old Hummer? Your father's father's Oldsmobile? A late-model Lamborghini? It takes a luxury brand, a boat-sized machine and/or a few decades to approach those dismal mileage numbers.
Perhaps the president is laying the groundwork for "Cash for Clunkers Part Deux."

This is awesome!
Car dealers getting stiffed on “Cash For Clunkers”
The federal government has only reimbursed auto dealers for 2 percent of the claims they’ve submitted through the popular “cash for clunkers” program, a Pennsylvania congressman said, calling on the Obama administration to help speed up the process.
This is typical government tomfoolery. According to the Department of Transportation, there are a total of 338,659 rebate requests under the "Cash for Clunkers" program; but only a staff of 225 to review the claims. That's 1,500 claims per employee currently!
And the government wants to manage health care too...........
