Schwarzenegger Happy to See Hummer Go to China

newser.com

(Newser) – California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger helped popularize the Hummer by driving one, but he's not worried that its days of American ownership are over, reports the Los Angeles Times. The gas-guzzler has come to symbolize Detroit's failure to innovate, and the brand's new Chinese owners will be able to double the Hummer’s gas mileage or even bring it close to 100 miles per gallon, according to Schwarzenegger.

"We know we’ve got to get rid of the big polluting vehicles and cars that drive with very low mileage," said the governor, whose own Hummer has been converted to run on vegetable oil. “You know the Hummer gets maybe 14 miles per gallon, and that is not enough."

It wasn't too long ago that you were very scared for your employees, thinking they're going to be out on the streets because you can't find credit to run your business.

Not to mention that you were scared that the bankruptcy of GM and Chrysler would be a disaster.

I guess that's the magic of Obama. He waves a wand, and everything will be just fine.


Now that you mention it he's done a great job. The economy and banks have stabilized, the auto makers are not going belly up, at least in the short term (which they would have) saving 100's of thousands of jobs.

Guess you can get away with calling it magic if you want.

The link is there for anyone to follow.

How generous of you.
