Are you sure this is not a quote from "the Onion"? LOL MP

"Others blame the president. “It’s Bush’s fault,” said Lexus owner Kimberly Einstein. “Instead of spending all our money in The Iraq and you know, like such as South Africa, actually, and the Asian countries we should use it to help U.S. American SUV owners, I personally believe.”

EDIT: On second glance, I realize it is satire. It has to be. MP who is not yet caffeinated.

RIGHT - LADY! -- All Americans are entitled to an SUV. It goes right in there with zero down houses, free medical care, tax cuts, $1 a gallon gasoline, and you name it. What's a government for if it won't provide that to you? I do agree with her on one thing though - that Bush gets the blame for the state of the country and that we should not be wasting money and treasure in Iraq and a lot of other foreign places. Time to take care of our own, but SUV's - come on!

Goodbye Hummer
GM looks to unload the hummer.
globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.com
GM was late to unload GMAC, and when they reacted only managed to get rid of half of it. ResCap is history but GM keeps wasting money on that. The Hummer is as ugly as a vehicle can possibly get so I am surprised the thing ever sold. Somehow Hummers became a status symbol. That is when GM should have unloaded it. Now GM will get nothing for it.
