It is a symbol of Obama government failure. Smallish, however, when compared with likes of Obamacare. Like Solyndra, the Volt represents all that government does best. Incompetence.

The self-righteous Right won’t touch this news. If every Chevrolet Volt built over the next year were recalled four times for risk of catching fire, the number wouldn’t approach the magnitude of the safety risks involving these popular vehicles. But, they run on gas, see? In fairness, of the total vehicle population, the percentage that will burn is infinitesimal, and anything manmade that involves fuel and electricity, including houses, shares that risk. All the more shameful that the media, the extreme-right “talking head” gas-bags at the forefront, chose one extreme-case electric vehicle fire for the basest, crassest, politically motivated propaganda assault. Reduced demand for the Volt and lower production will likely be the sad results. American workers in Michigan will be the victims. Are you “proud Americans” yet, Rush, Lou, Bill and others of your ilk?

Terrible news ted.... ...for the thread morons that is... Al The economy added 227,000 workers to nonfarm payrolls in February, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on Friday, while the unemployment rate held steady at 8.3 percent. The gain in payrolls was a little bit more than the 210,000 or so jobs Wall Street economists had expected -- but a little less than some traders had hoped -- and U.S. stock market futures were slightly higher shortly after the report. The payroll gain was down a bit from the 283,000 jobs added to payrolls in January, but that number was revised higher on Friday, as was December's figure. Together, the revisions added 61,000 more jobs to the past two months' gains. *Payrolls have grown by 245,000 jobs, on average, for the past three months.* "For the US economy to have piled on more than 200,000 jobs a month three times in a row will dispel any impression that the improvement is a blip," Marcus Bullus, trading director of MB Capital, wrote in an email. "The talk will now be of a sustained recovery."
