Some things just don't make sense. Except maybe that a few jobs were created. Is anyone taking credit for new jobs fracking for Natural Gas? Seems we have tons of the stuff and they are finding more everyday. Burns clean too.

LOL. So let me get this straight. You, of all people, are thanking Obama for bailing out a company that was not competitive enough to stay profitable by itself? And now, with tax payer support, they are going to employee more people to create SPORTS UTILITY VEHICLES? Yup. What is wrong with this picture? Where do I start? I'll give it a shot: 1) You, an Environmentalist, being happy about increased production of Sports Utility Vehicles, simply doesn't compute. Yes, because if Americans are stupid enough to buy them....and they are, I want Americans making them. 2) Massive capital has now been malinvested in managers who don't know how to run a profitable company. So they will squander it, just like they did in the past. Managers who exist at GM and Chrysler today weren't there 4 years ago. Obama made sure of that. Clever man that Obama. 3) Other emerging companies with newer technologies that are far more environmentally friendly would have been a much better investment aligned to our longer term best interests as a country. Instead, we get more SUVs that make us more dependent on foreign oil. Yes, we see how well solar panels are doing.......NOT. And just for the record, Obama has given money to Tesla and another fledgling all electric care company. Please note the operative word......fledgling.........the technology is still not there yet when making these cars affordable for the masses. Why do you insist on carefully picking and choosing your facts rather than looking at the big picture????
