  • Let me add Motor Trend is my Favorite Automobile Magazine

    1. When you sell a Vehicle to be 40 MPG, yet the average Fuel Efficiency 75% of people get is 32 MPG, is that right or wrong??

    2. When we pass a Mandate to improve fuel efficiency by a certain date, yet you don't see anything happening, is that right or wrong??

    3. When you promise somebody something and they look forward to it, then nothing happens, is that right or wrong?

  • Why are people not seeing the benefits that this could bring to the table?

  • i worked on cars since i was 6 years old i have not met one mechanic that liked this man i cant wait to have my 87 fire bird done 350 camed open headers fuck you obama

  • he is better at killing flies than

    fixing problems

  • yes bliss all over his face ;)

  • God bliss president Barrack Obama!

  • I'm Barack Obama - " All you American peons must drive little, disgusting, dangerous, rattle trap, piece of shit cars.

    Me and my important elite friends will continue to drive large vehicles that will squash you if we crash into you.

    Good luck on the roads, my fellow unimportant Americans."

  • I'm Osama Bin Laden. All you Americans will continue to drive the largest, most inefficient trucks and SUVs possible. Me and my friends, Vladimir Putin, Hugo Chavez will continue to take your hundreds of billions of dollars per year, stockpile weapons and build our militaries and kill you with your own money. My friends and I will be laughing our sick asses off because we can't believe you are stupid enough to help us kill you! You must be the dumbest people on earth.

  • bla, bla, bla... GM already built the vehicles pre-1999 (EV-1) and big oil shut it down.

    watch?v=Z-SuYQ5bVKk

    who is the Rockefeller Family? shake the tree a little... Robber Barons run the world :o)

    Tell Obama to grow hemp for fuel, food, fiber, paper and marijuana for medicine and the safest (NON LETHAL, THAT IS...) recreational drug known to man. hemp, solar, wind FTW

    there is no "clean" coal! as for nuclear, it's waste is expensive to maintain and store!

  • Big oil didn't shut the EV-1 down...GM did. GM fell behind in it's anticipated advancements in battery technology. The cars had short driving ranges, overheating problems and long charging times...as much as eight hours.

  • this dude might disagree with you. he says chevron and GM killed the EV.

    watch?v=8Q0pjyJyGbI

  • the truth is, obama want GM to move to china. Make their cars in china and shipped back to the US. As well as make the cars cost more, unsafe for the America roads.

  • Obama Sucks!

  • oh god , Nuclear energy is never mentioned , why , because it just may work :) . JV

  • obama drama will be the worst president in american history....

    MARK MY WORDS

  • Maybe the second worst...after Bush.

  • no i disagree, Obama is 1st and Bush is 2nd lol

  • stupid libs with their anti-smog agenda!

  • Stupid bible thumpers with your pro Venezuela, Russia and Arab agenda. Reducing our dependence on foreign oil would be the best thing the security and economy that the US could do. Stop listening to Hannity and Limbaugh.

  • you haven't come up with a plan either, except to repeat your mantra. What is your plan for satisfying ALL of the nation's energy needs with wind and solar? Better think long and hard - because that is a really tall order big man.

  • What kind of idiots ran Detroit for so long? They should have been looking foward like the European and Japanese companies did for the better of their companies. Hence why there all gonna go bankrupt...

  • It isn't the government's place to regulate fuel economy.

  • I disagree, it's a matter of security and economic stability. Americans have become to spoiled and unable to do without, stupid and lazy. They will line up to be slapped in the face and say thank you.

  • mrob611 - while your claims to security may have merit, regulating fuel economy has little to do with economic stability. I would argue the contrary. In fact, the move may do more harm and disruption, as well as eliminate potential choices for consumers in the future. Private companies will produce alternatives (and are) when prices continue to rise. These alternatives have nothing to do with government intervention.

  • Oil imports are a large part of our annual trade deficit, takes billions per year out of the American economy which weakens the dollar. I believe that it is simple math...you can't continually send out large amounts more than you take in. Why do you believe increasing fuel economy is harmful?

  • Fact is the world is running out of oil with NO way to replace the technology.

    Someone besides the very rich is going to be doing a lot of walking .......

  • I live in the Pac NW and work at 4 refineries as a contractor. These refineries are pouring BILLIONS in these plants to increase production. Follow the money, if oil was on its way out these companies would not spend a cent... They know the truth and are showing by how they spend their money... Fact is the world still has plenty oil...

  • Environmentalists are now opposing wind farms because they ruin the landscape of an area - and they kill birds by the thousands. Environmentalists are opposing solar farms because they harm the environment. Environmentalists don't want oil drilled in the U.S. because it harms the environment. Environmentalists don't want coal because it harms the environment. Environmentalists don't want nuclear because it could harm the environment.

    This is the root cause of our energy crisis - wake up!

  • You ignored this question once, I'll try again. Where are these vast oil fields that will solve all our problems? Are you talking about off shore drilling...it's not just environmentalists who have opposed this...some conservatives have too. You haven't answered direct questions before and I don't expect you to start now...I doubt you have anything informed to say. All you have are vague generalizations and dissolve into insults and name calling.

  • U.S.Oil Discovery - Largest Reserve in the World! Stansberry Report Online - 4/20/2006 - Hidden 1,000 feet beneath the surface of the Rocky Mountains lies the largest untapped oil reserve in the world is more than 2 TRILLION barrels. On August 8, 2005 President Bush mandated its extraction.

  • This comment is mostly untrue. The comment above it is closer to the estimates...but it is still unproven. I'm all for drilling it is one of the things we should be doing.

  • The Bakken is the largest domestic oil discovery since Alaska's Prudhoe Bay, and has the potential to eliminate all American dependence on foreign oil. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates it at 503 billion barrels.

  • Now, I know those are the crazy claims; however...... there is oil in the U.S. Offshore and in Alaska we have significant untapped reserves that we aren't even touching because of environmental lobbyists. What I am saying is that your plan is not realistic - we need oil, and we better get it from our reserves first so we don't have to send billions overseas. I am sure that people meant well, but look where we are now. You are like an environmentalist whacko that doesn't care what things cost

  • Yes, these claims are crazy...who is the wacko? In none of my comments did I ever say that: 1. I cared about the environment. 2. Laid out any plan. 3. Mentioned being for Wind, Solar or any other alternative fuel. It's like you are making stuff up as you go along. You are the one who doesn't care about the catastrophic cost to us, the economy and our security by sending billions and billions of dollars to our enemies. You continually have ignored this.

  • Yes, you are correct - you never laid out any plan. Forgive me for trying to identify WHY the U.S. pays so much every year to arab countries for oil. I guess the reasons why is not very important to you - because you don't seem to be interested in any actual solution.

  • I don't have a plan. Right now, as far as I'm concerned, the only option for the short term is to use less oil. I'm also for drilling, nuclear, and any alternatives that could conceivably give us our balls back! I just can't believe that Americans can be so ambivalent about being weak and sucking up to unstable nut jobs who would do us harm and damaging our economy. This is not how I see my country. We have truly become too fat, lazy and stupid!

  • A solution would be to use Swap Battery Electric cars. Adding more renewable energy every year, as more people adopt EVs. It is cheaper to build renewable power plants and an EV infrastructure than to purchase oil each year. It will cost about the same amount of each year of imported oil to build the EV infrastructure and renewable power. (the renewable power and EV infrastructure will last us forever(as long as we maintain it)).

  • Is obama going to put a sin tax on sugary drinks / food.

  • Oh goodie!! Why not just put a damn moustache on the Communist, and bring back the Volkswagen! At least that DID get the mileage he wants, and the folks will not be able to afford anything else, once this schmuck gets through taxing us all!

  • People who think that water hogging solar power and incredibly unreliable wind power are the answers to our energy problems are just plain silly.

  • Yes, and if there are any of those silly people here, you should tell them that.

  • Obama is an immature, arrogant fool.

    His solar, wind power and mileage standards nonsense will not lessen our dependence on foreign oil even one drop.

    Only a huge increase in emission free nuclear energy will do that.

    America is polluted with fools.

  • You are so correct!!!! But these ideologues say NO to everything. The refineries I work at are right now investing BILLIONS of dollars to increase capacity and efficientcy. They know at some point common sense will win out and we will drill here and do it CLEANER than anyone anywhere... Oil will be here a while and they know it... Our President is blowing smoke and needs an emission device....

  • The more Obama weaves his Marxist tentacles into the private sector, the more he crushes innovation, creativity, invention and freedom.

    Obama's arrogance will only weaken America.

  • This is what I can't get about you people...you talk about freedom...this is exactly what we're losing with our dependence on foriegn oil and is truly weakening America.  Unbelievable. Remember when GW went groveling to the Saudi's to raise oil production at the height of the oil prices? They said no and sent him home. America takes another slap in the face. This is what you want?

  • We could have been producing and refining more oil and gas all along. We could have built MANY more nuclear plants all along. The problem is liberal, leftist, socialist environmental nutjobs not allowing us to become energy independent.

  • This is just naive bipartisianship. It was a conservative president who signed an executive order to ban off shore drilling! It was a conservative Gov who vowed to ban drilling off of the coast of Fla. It was a Republican Gov who wants to keep a ban on drilling off of the coast of California. Don't fall for that "party propaganda." The liberal vs the conservative crap. They want to do what is best for them...not you or our country.

  • Oil is the cheapest form of energy - and more-than abundant within our own borders. We can go get our own oil a lot quicker than we can build and force everyone to pay premium prices for 'alternative' energy. It is all about economics, idiot. You know, supply and demand? They had to invent a man-made global warming disaster that doesn't exist so that they can push it down our throats. Is that innovative? No, that has been done before as well - can you say global cooling fear 20 years ago?

  • "THEY" invented the global warming disaster. Why are you bringing this up? This is unrelated to my comments on the stupidity of dependence on foreign oil. You're saying that we could nearly triple domestic oil production? Where are these vast fields and in your expert geological opinion, how long will it take to accomplish this???

  • Global Warming is a disgusting liberal hoax, created by stupid democrats to keep government money flowing to their fake climate crisis cult.

  • What does this have to do with reducing our dependence on foreign oil?

  • Obama is using the Global Warming hoax to cram through incredibly expensive, economy crushing, emissions and mileage standards.

    His goal is to cram us into those teeny, pathetic, deathmobiles while he and his elite circle keep their limos.

    It's all very simple. Obama is all about more government power and control over our lives and less FREEDOM for us.

  • Oh oh...starting to sound a little paranoid there! Americans should be for anything that reduces oil consumption. You talk about economy crushing? That's nothing compared to the effect of billions of dollars every single year taken from our economy and ballooning our trade deficit which in turn devalues the dollar and further hurts America. Fuel conservation is a gift to us and our economy that would keep on giving. If Obama does indeed go to far...we'll vote him out.

  • "Americans should be for anything that reduces oil consumption"? What the hell does that mean? - at any cost? You have never run a business, or anything for that matter, in your life, have you? Are you even out of school? You are completely filled with the most unrealistic BS I have ever heard. Do you know that the proposed solar farm in the Mojave Des of CA is delayed because of environmental restrictions and legal action. They now claim solar farms harm the environment. Root Cause!!!!

  • Yeah...at any cost...that's what I'm saying...moron. Are you just trying to be an ass? Reducing consumption reduces dependence on our enemies. That's BS? I'm unrealistic? Who said "replace oil with solar and wind?" NOT ME! Did you even go to school? You have the B@LLS to call ME an idiot? Get your head out of your ass! You have never answered any of my direct questions, you site no facts and have no idea of economics. All you do is puke up the subversive right wing party line.

  • How is this country going to replace oil with solar and wind? Wake up, idiot - it won't happen in your lifetime. It is all economics. The moment a company can develop solar or wind energy that is cheaper than our current energy, then everyone will go for it - and won't be able to because the demand will be greater than the supply. Make it affordable, and it will make sense - sorry to insult your idealism.

  • It amazes me how you seem to object to paying premium prices for"alternative energy", but not paying premium prices to foreign countries that hate us for "traditional" energy. Un-be-f@#$ing-lievable. At least the "premium price" for alternatives would stay in the country and out of the hand of Hugo, Putin and Bin Laden and friends! I just can't get over how you can rationalize this!

  • I do not object to paying low prices for domestic oil - what about that variable? You keep forgetting that whole piece of the puzzle. It is not like all of the oil that is within U.S. borders disappears if you just ignore it. What about coal and nuclear energy? Let's commit to things we already know can power the entire country - while we keep improving the other tech until it can make economic sense.

  • What inovation, creativity and invention are you talking about? Do you mean the same inovation, creativity and invention that put our auto industry so far behind the japs and Europeans and drove the industry into failure? The same inovation, creativity and invention that brought our largest banks and insurers to their knees? The Freedom to support our enimies? How F@#$ing stupid are you? Have you become so fat, lazy, and ignorant not to realize the position this country is in?

  • Government imposed regulations and bloated union contracts are what crippled the domestic auto industry. More government control is almost comical. GM and Chrysler will not be around in 2 years.

  • Who signed the bloated union contracts??? The CEOs of GM, Chrysler and Ford!!! Nobody held a gun to their heads! That's why they have these things called "negotiations." What Government regs are you talking about? Do you have any facts? Foreign cars usuall have tougher saftey, and economy standards. Hey, it's tough out there...lots of competition...Gm and Chrysler were chosen for extinction by natural selection...survival of the fittest.

  • Foreign car companies are prospering because they don't have the bloated union contracts.

    They have FREEDOM to innovate, create, invest and invent.

  • As I said before...it was the American car companies who signed those bloated union contracts. They have the Freedom, but have been unable to innovate, create, invest in the right things and invent. Nice try.

  • what 'innovation, creativity and invention are you talking about?" Do you mean violating the constitution so that Obama can place majority ownership in the hands of the UAW. I would say the UAW and the govt-imposed restrictions are the reason our auto companies suck. Pumping up the power of organized labor has been done before - and it doesn't work. I realize this country is screwed - but you aint seen nothing yet. Just wait until our currency gets dumped and becomes worthless.

  • I wasn't in any way commenting on this. It really doesn't have anything to do with the insanity of dependence on our enemies to supply us with oil. But...while we're at it...this ridiculous situation is largely the result of the moronic contracts that the car makers signed!

  • I'm not going to drive an ObongoMobile unless Al Gore and Obongo himself belly up to the bar and drive them also.

  • You don't want to drive a Obongomobile, but your more than willing to drive a ChaveMobile or a PutinMobile...how about a BinladinMobile? Obama drove a ford Escape Hybrid before taking office.

  • LoL Ford Escape Hybrid.... Obongo could teach Al Gore how to buy cars. I'm not buying one of those pieces of shit regardless of who drives them.

  • Obama, the Marxist snake oil salesman, is going to force us to drive tiny, dangerous, piece of shit cars while he will be traveling by limo and private jet for the rest of his life.

    Obama is an arrogant fraud.

  • A better solution is to just buy more expensive oil from our enemies so that they can build their militaries and threatene us. How many times are you willing to let America take another slap in the face by these people? Will you just keep lining up for more? I'd rather go along with the arrogant fool on this one...better than following the stupid fool.

  • No, a better solution is to let the citizens of the U.S. spend their money how they want to spend their money. Let the businesses tackle the innovation - and get the govt out of my pocket and my business. I am not like you - I don't want to rely on obama to take care of me. I think we should cut the city, state and fed budgets in half, and give the power back to the individuals. Cut taxes on everyone, make it a flat or fair system and eliminate exemptions. FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • You see, your 'solution' doesn't address the ROOT CAUSE of the problem. In fact, none of Obama's 'solutions' address the root causes of any problems. Hence, when the 'solutions' are applied, the root causes still exist, and the problems will continue - only creating more problems Obama can 'fix'. The only thing Obama is fixing is his EGO.

  • Just one question...what are you saying here? Are you still talking about drilling? Are you and the others saying that it's Obama's fault? Remember that it was G Bush Sr that signed by executive order one of the two bans on off shore drilling. Jeb Bush the then Fla Gov. said that he would ban drilling off off FLa...Gov Schwarzenegger said the same. The root cause of the problem is...WE USE MORE THAN TWICE THE OIL WE CAN PRODUCE DOMESTICALLY. I'm not talking about the other problems.

  • THIS POLICY WON'T SAVE ONE POLAR BEAR!

  • Of course Obama won't tell u American Cars WOULD ALREADY HAVE BETTER GAS MILEAGE IF IT WASN'T FOR ALL THE DAMN GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS

  • It is difficult to imagine how better fuel efficiency can be seen as bad. Unless you want to pay $4 per gallon or more. Unless you want more money to go to the terrorists who are funded by our foreign oil purchases. 90% of the money you have ever spent on gas has gone to inefficiencies in the vehicle. 1% of your gas purchase moves you. 9% of your gas purchase moves your vehicle. 90% is wasted! Google it!!!

  • I wonder how many union people are now happy that they voted ofr Obama?

  • Probably all the ones that want to breathe cleaner air.

  • Ha ha - I like you sense of humor!!

  • Sieg Hail! Please Nigger King, tell me how much electricity I may use in my house next!!

  • noble shot.....he is trying to get things moving......but big money always wins and oil is money.....remember the vega in the 70`s?.... it was gm`s answer to high oil prices...their ONLY answer...sad.....

  • loool cafe is forcing american car companies to make fuel efficient cars americans don't wanna buy. brainless... no wonder they need a bailout. get with the program, tax gas already.

  • Complete freedom never existed since civilization began and it will never exist. Even when America was first declared a country complete freedom never existed. When you drive that hummer you are being ignorant and not caring about the future environment. Maybe the oil will not run out in your lifetime so you can drive that hummer, but your kids will have to walk if there is no oil. Freedom should only exist to a certain extent, as long as its not harmful. In this case it is, Obama is right.

  • His intentions seem noble, but a lot of Americans will lose their jobs because of this policy.

    President Obama needs to have some sort of plan to stimulate job creation. This plan has the opposite effect.

  • Charice new single - Note to God - w/ subtitle HQ pls watch for world peace

  • ITS OFFICIAL!!!I now despise Barack Obama as much as George W. Bush1He refuses to appoint a special prosecutor to punish Bush for his illegal WIRE TAPPING and TORTURING ways.Its becoming real clear that our government tortured detainees not for information but for forced confessions2He's NOT pushing for Single Payer Health Care3He's killing innocent civilians in Afghanistan and is killing Americans troops in these failed 2 wars he refuses to end. Even the NY Times says he's Dick Cheneys BITCH

  • how are we gonna save money at the pump when they tax gas higher, and cut off our ability to drill our own oil, the market was doing just fine getting rid of SUV's last summer with 4 dollar gas, now the government is going to "f" things up again as usual. Obama isn't a stupid man, he has to realize what these stupid policies really do, why does he keep screwing us over? Oh thats right, he's a socialist, I almost forgot

  • This man is a fool!!

  • I do not want to drive a Yugo I want areal car. Stop allowing the government to tell us how we can live our lives. Obama just said that government should not tell a women what she can do with her Little baby in her womb then Why now start telling us what we can or not drive. If I want to drive a Hummer I should be able to. Americans are free. Free from Big government.

  • So you want to be free to screw up the world around you by encouraging the rapid overuse of our resources as our population increases, hurting our enviroment, and driving up the price of gas with your gas hungry hummer. No thanks...big government will save us from the likes of you in this case.

  • This is wonderful! Thanks Barack. Glad I voted for you. I live in England nowadays and can tell you the cars in England and all over Europe get much better mileage than the cars in the US. The government isn't mandating how large a car you can drive.. it's mandating the fuel efficiency. Big difference.

  • LOL @ Obama sheep

  • Next they will decide what kind of a house you can live in. Nothing bigger than 800 square ft. How will poor Al Gore survive?

  • this is a great move. its about time the american auto companies raise their game

  • Smart cars look like gremlins without a bacakseat. They are chopped off. So sense they are 2 seaters does that mean we need to buy a couple extra cars to take the family on vacation?

  • Do Americans want their children driving Tiny less save cars while we still buy oil from overseas instead of drilling here. And we get to pay $1200 more for toy cars that 6' guys have to squeeze into. Plus everything shipped by truck will cost more and there will be more smaller trucks on the road. And sence these car will go further on a tank of gas we can drive longer distances. yeah! I guess now that Obama will run GM we should be ready for smart cars.

  • Oh the $1200 to $1500 is just the tip of the iceberg. By then the price will be 3X's higher. Then along with the 18% interest for 5 years. Now it'll be even higher. pay more for less. That's Obamas plan. And when no one buys him crappy ass cars, he'll just make laws forcing people to buy his crappy ass cars. That's the Obama way.

    Now that Obama is the new CEO of GM.

  • he obama bought out the 2 biggest auto-makers. Everyone knew this was coming. ford refuse obama's money. Now Obama says he will tax Ford into bankruptcy. if people don't buy his crappy ass cars. he'll make a law that no one can own a car over a 5 years old. anyone that buys his cars are worshippers of Obama.

  • As usual, the U.S. will have to produce cars that will kick your ass with both hands tied behind our back, just to make it fair, for a little while!

  • The road to hell!! California is fucking broke!

    How is that an endorsement??

  • Hell, I would just as soon go back to horses as long as the horse back guys get the roads and the fuel cell guys only get the back yard.if were going nanny state lets not half ass it.

  • Der ve vas flying at 9000 feet, der vas dese two fockers at 2 oclock and 3 fockers at 5 oclock. German aircraft. Yoh, but dese fockers vas flying messerscmidts

  • Mien got! I cannot believe you Tamarlane!

    I'm almost as mad as you!

    Good for you!

  • This Obama guy is insane. He thinks he can fix EVERYTHING with NO MONEY. He is going to fix education. 1.2 trillion dollars. He is going to fix health care. 2.0 trillion dollars. He is going to fix energy. 2.0 trillion dollars. He is going to fix the middle east. Peace will break out soon in the middle east. He will make friends with Venezuela and Russia and Iran and North Korea. He will shut down Guantanamo with no place to put the detainees there. He will sink the USS America.

  • why not ban private jets, since they use much fuel. a ban is a ban, why should only the common folks sacrafice?

  • Screw you dude. I am not giving up my private jet. I am giving up nothing. I will leave the US in a heartbeat if you try to restrict what I can have or do. I will simply take my business somewhere else and you can stew in your own juices.

  • There are people commenting here who would have to double their IQ's to qualify as a moron. Do you not remember nearly $5 a gallon gas? Do you like being jerked around by a bunch of Arabs? The Russians and Venezuelans must be laughing their ass's off! They use our oil money to build their militaries...threaten us...and WE WANT TO BUY EVEN MORE FROM THEM!!! All because stupid Americans don't want to do without...or not drive a cool car...un-f@#$-believable. Get your heads out of your asses!

  • Dear Microbe Brain

    There are people commenting here who know what they are talking about , and then there is you.

    This new emissions program, efficiency program, and new car program is set to kick in in 2016. Russia does not get any oil money from us. Nothing will change for Russia after this stuff kicks in. Venezuela will still be providing oil for the US long into the future. A cool car? LOL A death trap car.

    We are not jerked around by anyone. Well, maybe you are jerked around by yourself.

  • Probably the single most stupid, delusional comment on YouTube. WTF difference does it make when it kicks in...it is necessary. While Russia is no longer a major supplier to the US, we do get oil from them and will probably be looking to them again. Venezuela providing oil to the US is the POINT!!! I guess since the price of oil has temporarily dropped, your one of the idiots yelling: "it's over." You are pathetically naive, getting smacked in the face and lining up for more.

  • It isn't worth my time trying to get you to wake up. You hare hopelessly stupid if you think we can get along without oil. We should develop our own resources. Oil and gas. We need nuclear power. We should build them as fast as we can. We should do a lot of things but I give up. With people like you we will do nothing but go down the drain. Obama is redistributing the poverty and you aren't even aware of it.

  • By the way. we NEVER got ANY oil from Russia.

    there just isn't a word I can think of to describe your ignorance.

  • I admit I was very surprised to see we import any oil from Russia. I would be curious to know where it come into the country and by what means. Makes no sense to me, but it was included in your energy compilation. And, how did you know about it?

  • You do know Venezuela stopped selling oil to the US aboout a 2 years ago. The US does allow Venezuela to refineries in the US as well as sell gas. the US allows it just for the taxs. but they don't sell it.

  • It would be a better idea to keep sending billions of dollars to countries that hate us? Americans have become the stupidest, laziest and most spoiled people on earth. Lets see...we import only 60% of our oil...maybe we should lower efficiency standards...that way we can take more money out of our economy and send it to Chavez, Putin and King Saud. Moron!

  • Capt. FUBAR (Barack Obama) will go down in history as the President who tried to fix everything, but failed.

    He will fix the environment. He will fix health care. He will fix the schools. He will fix energy problems. He is Mr. Fixit. He is Mr. FUBAR. He is Humpty Dumpty. When all our money and jobs and industry are gone, we will be Cuba driving our old cars and working for the government taking care of the old, the very young, the infirm. We will all be very poor living in a feral world.

  • In case you haven't noticed that trend started some time ago. Much of our money has already gone...much on expensive oil...industry was failing...jobs disappearing. The reason he is trying to fix so much is that so much is broken. You must have that magic memory...things were so great before Obama.

  • I do have that magic memory. 72 years of it. We were 500 billion dollars upside down when Bush left office. We are now 4 trillion dollars upside down after 100 days of FUBARack. Explain to me how that is better. I think you think all these things will be fixed. Health care, energy, environment, world peace, Israel Palestine, education. All these things that cost 2 trillion dollars each to fix in GOOD times. We are broke and Obama is digging our grave.

  • Some of the comments posted here show that Americans may have become too stupid to survive. What possible objection could you have to ANYTHING that would reduce our dependence on foriegn oil? How did someone convince you that supporting the economies and subsidizing the militaries of countries that hate us is a bad thing? How did you come to the conclusion that sending all that oil revenue to Venezuela, Russia, the Arabs and many other unstable Gov'ts is Good for the USA?

  • Americans may have become too stupid to survive; however, not because of the reasons you mentioned. Americans have allowed the federal and state govt to become too powerful. Americans have allowed 'environmentalists' to become too powerful. The govt and the environmentalists have forced the U.S. to import so much foreign oil - when there is more-than-enough within our own borders. Now, global warming proponents are too powerful......................­....and that is why we are stupid.

  • beauz, you have hit the nail in the head!!

  • No, it is just insanity to take billions out of our economy and send it to countries and dictators who are our enemies. Does anyone debate that some of the oil revenues trickles down to help arm terrorists? Did you enjoy nearly $5 a gallon gas? Did you enjoy watching the price lurch every time somebody farted in some shit hole, unstable country? How can you justify that kind of thinking? We do need to drill more, but that won't help in the near term...and it isn't a long term solution.

  • No, but they don't give a fuck.

  • this is thug politics... straight outta chicago... figures. this bozo, obama is a joke. a disgrace to the office of President of these United States. he has no concept of freedom, this country's heritage, this country's founding principles, and he surely, like all liberals, has no respect for the Constitution.

  • From now on....every citizen must change their underwear three time a day. And..... you must wear them on the outside of your clothes, so we can check!

    The goal is to spread my power all over this pathetic country so I can remake it in my image.

  • What a crook! Republican's suck too! Enjoy things while you can because these people are purposely degrading the quality of everyones lives.

  • Comment removed

  • I obviously don't think he's doing enough, he wants to increase fuel efficiency standards by 5% by 2012, well, OMG, just 5% more milage, big whoop.

    With those new electric cars and fuel cell cars coming out, I would have thought he'd be doing something to make them more affordable to buy, but I guess the lobbying isn't going that direction atm.

  • And where will the energy come from to power these electric cars? From gas, coal and oil that produces electricity. Just another step adding inefficiency in the laws of thermodynamics, not to mention the landfills it will create just to dispose of toxic batteries....

  • So hows Hope and change working out for ya ?

  • this is basically a prius for everyone. does he honestly think people will buy some pussy ass car? what a looser. and some of you think he is fixing the country. he's taking freedoms away. if he gets his way we won't even be able to choose what we drive.

  • Remember the really early Simpsons episode where Homer discovers that he has a long-lost brother who turns out to be car manufacturer? The brother decides to pin the future of his company on a new car designed by Homer. The car was called the Homer, was awful in every way, and the company collapsed. Some variation of this story will play out when the first Chevrolet Barack coercion rolls off the line.

  • People who dont want a vehicle that gets better fuel miileage and a vehicle that puts out less smog has got to be the biggest shitbrick. The smog laws here in California were heaven sent, if you dont know what smog looks like your lucky, go to L.A. somtime and look out over the city about 3 o'clock in the afternoon and try to sell your cooliad Republican bullshit.

  • How long has CA had their "cleaner" cars and yet you still have smog?

  • this is the same failed idea that gave us the shitbox rattle traps in the 70's and 80's that nobody wanted to buy.what happened to change what happened to "the smartest guy in the room" this is the same bullshit carter did.i'd rather tae my chances with melting ocean ice than being hit by a semi ina 1000 pound golf cart that the government is forcing me to drive.ENOUGH

  • Yeah the worthless crap Kcars.

    Obama today has shown he is dumber than a box of rocks.

  • Capt. FUBAR (Barack Obama) will go down in history as the President who tried to fix everything, but failed.

    He will fix the environment. He will fix health care. He will fix the schools. He will fix energy problems. He is Mr. Fixit. He is Mr. FUBAR. He is Humpty Dumpty. When all our money and jobs and industry are gone, we will be Cuba driving our old cars and working for the government taking care of the old, the very young, the infirm. We will all be very poor living in a feral world.

  • You can't stand it. Obama is fixing this country and you cant STAND IT..

    AND I LOVE IT.

  • Your profile says you are 23. I expected to see maybe 13 or 14. I don't think I was EVER as stupid as you. Maybe you will grow up soon. You will have to grow up soon just to survive.

  • xplosive I completly agree with you......cry republicans cry...cause your world in 10 years will no longer be there and not just because of obama but because the world is changing on its own lol and your not...you know what darwin said about that...wait you probably don't because you don't read haha

  • Small cars today arent ratle traps. Here is what you do, go out and test drive an Audi a4 or a Saab 93 turbo. what you find out is they are safer, faster, better. You would also see that you could hit a brick wall with a Volvo and survive. Now, knowone is forceing anyone to buy a small car, you will allways beable to buy a truck. I am a truck owner myself, I would be happier than a pig in shit if it got 35 mpg.

  • Yeah 35 mpg when you peddle. I can't wait to see you and your new peddle truck.

  • This is all based on Al Gore's Man made global warming fraud. Obongo hasn't got a clue about how to build cars.

  • Even though I'm for fuel efficiency and less pollution, I do not agree that Government should stick their nose in how to make cars and trucks in any way other than for safety. Let the American auto industry fall for its ignorance to see what people want.

  • we already did that it doesnt work

  • well good for him, but we want bush and his gang in jail,jobs,our bill of rights, and all the dumb asses out of washington

  • I think we should empty the jails of all the drug offenders and start locking up corrupt politicians, corrupt buerocrats, corrupt cops, etc. Actually on second thought we should build a new jail and put all of them under it.

  • we can just put them in fema camps. that way we don't have to build jails for them.

  • They're destryoing the economy on purpose and they will bring in martial law when it collapses. Then they'll send in the troops to take our guns. And they'll also send in the new Hitler\Obama youth to go after the verterans. I'm not kidding they're training the boy scouts how to be Hitler\Obama youth brigades and go after disgruntaled veterans. They're gonna do here what they did in Nazi Germany unless we stop them.

  • Well, I don't think the veterans are going to take too kindly to that. Let's see...Obama youth vs. veterans...I know where I would place my bet. Things seem to be moving fast now though, but we still have a chance to defeat them. The game ain't over yet.

  • Wake up people. Our rights are being taken away from us. Support the constitution. March July 4th in Washington DC to show these bastards we are done with their global agenda.

  • You should have been bitching when the Patriot act was put in effect. All those shitbricks in D.C. did that when it was all Republican, and the all the shitbrick Dems fell for it when it was resigned. Has nothing to do with party, there all screwd.

  • Democrats pushed it through because they believe the same thing. I was against fascism then and I'm against fascism now. Obama is a fascist. Nationalizing of Industry is fascism. Mobilizing youth to sing praises of an elected official is fascism. Myth building to create a quasi-historic foundation is fascism.

    The Dems didn't "fall" for anything, you did. They wanted it all along but by pretending they didn't the Dems could turn it into something much worse. BTW - they have.

  • I am with you,But they will jest make a joke out of all the people!

  • BYE BYE U.S. CAR'S!!!

  • American cars were gone the minute Americans started favoring Honda, Hundai and Toyota . A lot more American industries will go down if we continue shopping at Communist Wal-Mart instead of supporting small business.

  • That's true Deepstarr7020. Wal mart does ship most of it's merchandise right out of chinese slave camps. they're using cheap slave goods to destroy the middle class.

  • stop the New World Order

    search the obama deception

  • Yeah the Obama Deception exposes Barack Obama for the puppet he is. It also exposes how George Bush was a puppet. The real government is Northcom and the Federal Reserve.

  • Oh yes and they're trying to pass laws right now in congress to take all of your guns. google HR 2401. The government wants your guns becasue they want to be able to set up Nazi style fascism here in the U.S. and they don't want you to resist them. Check out my channel for more information.

  • Dammit! I haven't heard of H.R. 2401, and I don't want to, since it will just make me angry. Oh well, I'm looking it up now.

  • When will people realize that the only job that government is good at is mass murder on an ultra large scale. 200 million people where murdered by they're own government in 20th century. Governments are nothing more than gangs of thugs with well paid mob bosses at the top and brainwashed jack booted thugs in uniforms at the bottom. And yet somehow they've convinced us to see the government as our savior when government is really just the biggest gang of organized crooks that has ever existed.

  • This has already been tried, In the 70's the government forced automakers to build a certain amount of small fuel efficient vehicles, and detroit still hasnt recovered.

  • hinsburg is the best reviewer he comes out with 1 to 2 videos a day he makes up words like shiz niffin, likes fish, has the awsomest of friends, has a N64 emulator, so far he did banjo-kazooie, zelda: majora's mask, super mario brothers 3 and other random shit. He is the to be overlord ov reviewing. His channel is quite new

    *subscribers and viewers wanted for hinsburg*

  • B.O. continues:

    "in addition to these new standards, from now on, I will make it law that everyone in the U.S. must change their underwear three times a day. And, you will wear your underwear on the outside of your clothes - so we can check"

    Make it so number 1........

  • Why do people just accept his pronouncements without question? Why should the government tell us what kind of car we should drive or the auto makers what kind of car they should build? Who actually believes we will save money at the pump?

  • from7 cars i possessed 1

    used over 3 galons on 100 miles.

  • what Obama really wants is for all of us little people to ride bikes to and from our federal govt jobs - while he and the rest of the DC elite fly private jets and ride in limos. Sucks to be us........brutha, can you spare a dime?

  • Where the fuck is this global warming stuff everyone in the media is talking about?

    Over the past 2 or 3 years, it's been getting colder where I live.

    Yeah, this global warming stuff is just a bunch of hype to get us to give up more of our freedom.
