Obama turns up his blue collar
The Hill [Washington DC], by Amie Parnes


President Obama is increasingly playing up his working-class roots in a bid to appeal to blue-collar voters, particularly in the swing-state-heavy Midwest. Republicans say the casting call is a stretch for the Harvard-educated Obama, who was once a community organizer but is now a best-selling author and millionaire squarely in the “1 percent” category, a point he frequently acknowledges.But if the president is locked in a battle against Republican Mitt Romney — with his $10,000 bet, his wife’s Cadillacs, and his $374,000 speaking fees, which he called “not very much” — the Obama campaign thinks it can draw a contrast

Oh no, more bad news for the GOP and ODS Obama haters.

Associated Press

DETROIT —
Auto sales jumped 16 percent last month to the highest level since before the recession, helped by declining unemployment and improving consumer confidence even as gasoline prices topped $4 a gallon in parts of the country.

Obama promotes proposed
$10,000 Volt tax credit

Washington Examiner, by Charlie Spiering


Are you having a hard time convincing yourself to buy a Chevy Volt? Perhaps a $10,000 instant tax credit will change your mind. According to a fact sheet sent to reporters today, President Obama will once again highlight a proposal to increase the tax credit for electric vehicles. More importantly, the president will propose making that tax credit available as soon as you buy the vehicle. According to the White House, Obama will proposes that the tax credit is "available at the point-of-sale by making it transferable to the dealer or financier, allowing consumers to benefit when they

GM CEO Dan Akerson was paid $7.7 million
in 2011, according to regulatory filing

Detroit Free Press, by Nathan Bomey

General Motors confirmed today that CEO Dan Akerson’s targeted total compensation for 2011 was $9 million and reasserted its stance that the U.S. government’s decision to cap GM executive pay could limit the company’s competitiveness.

Akerson’s targeted total compensation was set at $9 million, with a base salary of $1.7 million, restricted stock units worth $2 million and $5.3 million in stock salary, which is paid in cash.

The compensation Akerson actually received in 2011, which was affected by the timing of Akerson's tenure at the company, was $7.7 million,

Another Electric Car From Obama-Funded Company Catches Fire
Image
Move over Chevy Volt, it’s Fisker’s turn.


Quote:
Last week, a fire badly damaged the home of a new Fisker Karma owner, and authorities are saying that the electric car was the source of the blaze.

According to Fort Bend County, Texas, chief fire investigator Robert Baker, the Fisker Karma started the fire that spread to the house.

“Yes, the Karma was the origin of the fire, but what exactly caused that we don’t know at this time,” he said. The car was a complete loss.

According to Baker, the driver arrived home in the Fisker, pulled into the garage, and less than three minutes later the car was in flames. It reportedly was not plugged in at the time of the fire and the Karma’s battery remains intact.

Right before the fire, the owner reported a smell of burning rubber.

“The car was brand-new,” said Baker. “He still had paper tags on it, so it was 60 days old at [most].”

According to Baker, the Karma was a post-recall vehicle bought in April.

U.S. Taxpayers Still Down $16 Billion On GM Bailout
Image
The fact that the MSM allows Obama to tout this as an accomplishment without questioning him is a testament to their bias.

Quote:
Washington — Republican Mitt Romney believes President Barack Obama is holding on to the government’s stake in General Motors to avoid an embarrassing financial loss before the election, and says he’d sell the stock quickly if he wins the White House.

In a wide-ranging half-hour interview with The Detroit News, the presumptive GOP nominee also said he’d review pending rules that will require automakers to almost double fuel efficiency requirements by 2025, and believes Detroit may need a leadership change in order to fix its nagging financial problems.

As part of the government’s GM bailout, the U.S. Treasury still holds a 26 percent stake in the Detroit automaker, and has been sitting on that share for 35 months.

“There is no reason for the government to continue to hold (its GM stake),” Romney, a Detroit native and son of an auto executive, said Friday.

“The president is delaying the sale of the shares to try and avoid the story that the taxpayer took another loss. I would get the company independent from government and run for the interests of the consumer and the enterprise and its workers — not for the political considerations of government officials.”

At GM’s Monday closing price of $21.11 a share, the government would lose $16 billion on its $49.5 billion bailout.

I would be interested in what Mitt has to say about the $17.8 Billion dollars that was lost by Bush in the direct bailouts to the Auto Industry? Bush didn't have the foresight to tie the bailout money to a bankruptcy, so it was all effectively lost in the bankruptcies of both GM and Chrysler.

IN addition there is still a huge gob of Bush TARP money tied up in the dead carcass of GMAC. Ally financial still owes a huge amount of TARP money and is still on incredibly shaky ground. Their mortgage division just recently filed bankruptcy.

Oh really?
If it was not such a great accomplishment, perhaps -={ARCLIGHT}=- can tell us why his boy Mittens, the pathological liar is trying to take credit for it then. Yes?
