>> . they are different cars...and it's not a contest. If you, the bigshot marketing guru, thinks it isn't a contest, let me assure you: The marketing people at Nissan believe it is a contest. >> I think you know that the volt is only available in select geographies, yes? Neither is widely available at this point.

Ooooo la la........now he's gone and done it. I am going to have to listen to this speech. <g> Obama Aligns U.S. With Arab Protesters, Endorses 1967 Borders For Israel In a major speech that laid out his vision for the U.S. role in the increasingly tumultuous Middle East, President Barack Obama said the "shouts of human dignity are being heard across the region" and acknowledged that if the United States fails to respond to the "aspirations of ... WASHINGTON -- In a major speech that laid out his vision for the U.S. role in the increasingly tumultuous Middle East, President Barack Obama said the "shouts of human dignity are being heard across the region" and acknowledged that if the United States fails to respond to the "aspirations of ordinary people" it will deepen the belief that Washington's interests in the region are self-serving. He also announced a significant shift in the U.S. position on the Israel-Palestinian conflict. Speaking at the State Department, which he called "a fitting venue to mark a new chapter in American diplomacy," Obama for the first time since popular uprisings began sweeping Arab countries late last year addressed the collective yearning for democratic reforms across the region -- what he called "a longing for freedom." "For six months, we have witnessed an extraordinary change taking place in the Middle East and North Africa," he said. "Square by square, town by town, country by country, the people have risen up to demand their basic human rights." Declaring "there must be no doubt that the United States of America welcomes change that advances self-determination and opportunity," Obama sought to erase ambiguity about U.S. loyalties by firmly aligning the United States with the citizens calling for change, not their leaders, many of who are longtime U.S. allies. "The United States of America was founded on the belief that people should govern themselves," he said. "Now, we cannot hesitate to stand squarely on the side of those who are reaching for their rights, knowing that their success will bring about a world that is more peaceful, more stable, and more just." read more........ speroforum.com
