"In America, you not drive car, Obama drive car!"

Actually, he seems like a good choice. The issue is not that he is a poor choice, but that the government has seized the means of production. I vaguely recall that being a not especially good idea that may have been tried in one or two spots from time to time with little success...

Wen you were a kid, when your childhood naivety made you all excited about some toy or candy that was saturation advertised in the media? Remember saving up your allowance for weeks, going to the store to buy this must-have wonder only to get it home and unwrap it to see it was not hardly as advertised?

I think a lot of voters in the US are having that deja vu feeling of childhood disillusionment.

How would any reasonable businessman deal with what is happening to their businesses?

Their backs are to the wall, but check the link for which dealership *did* get a reversal of closure.

I dunno. I can't recall any successes with the Cascading Hail Mary strategy in business.

the republican dominated supreme court is the one that gave the go-ahead on the stripping down of the car dealerships and most recently refused an appeal on the decision.

'I don't know anything about cars'

NOW he tells us.

"I think a lot of voters in the US are having that deja vu feeling of childhood disillusionment."

What? You mean the Sea Monkeys are only shrimp?!?!?

LOL

"We spent a fortune to elect Barack Obama," declared Andy Stern last month, and the president of the Service Employees International Union wasn't exaggerating. The SEIU and AFL-CIO have been spending so much on politics that they're going deeply into debt."

I read this and started laughing. Was that wrong of me?

AP News June 10, 2009

The sale to Fiat SpA marks a victory for the Obama administration, which shepherded Chrysler LLC into Chapter 11 protection on April 30 with the hope that the company would emerge in a matter of months with a new partner.

Actually, the majority of SCOTUS are left-leaning dems, and the bar of competency will by lying flat on the ground when the incompetent racist sotomayer gets confirmed.

At least Sodamayor is pro-life.

"and I think the business principles are the same.”

Some are, some are not. AT&T never had to fret about a Japanese competitor eating a big chunk of its market share with better product and lower labor cost.

set you free, that's good news.
If she is pro-life she may get rejected by the Dems themselves during confirmation.

"GM is not now about just making cars."

Am I the only one who can't post on the newer threads?

no has yet told me how GM laying off it's sales staff (dealers)will save the company. BTW That would be free sales staff.

Kate: comments not working on your "How come the first family..." thread.

Lenin scoffed at the stupidity of peasant farmers who fed the Communist revolutionaries too... only to have their land ripped from under them once the revolution was successful.

There's no honour among Marxists.

well mhb, I tried to include a link to the list of all including current judges and who appointed them (G.H.W.B. ring a bell? Reagan? Dubya?) but kate's web site heaved the more detailed post into the ether of censorship.

duh.

from: http://www.supremecourtus.gov/about/biographiescurrent.pdf

judge(s), appointed by:

Roberts, Alito by Dubya,
Stevens by Ford,
Scalia, Kennedy by Reagan,
Souter, Thomas by Bush Sr,

aaaaaaand
Ginsburg, Breyer by Clinton,

so mhb, you were saying ?????

so it appears mhb attributes the preponderance of 'left-leaning dems' to their corresponding REPUBLICAN nominating pres.

well then they only have themselves to blame for the current sorry 'left-leaning' state @ USSC.

'right' so far mhb ?

I stand corrected on the majority of judges nominated by repubs. However, Souter was nominated by Bush Sr, and then abruptly turned 180 degrees in his leanings. He votes liberal in his rulings. That's a partial concern the left have with sotomayer, as noted above with her potential leanings on pro-life. If she can't get rid of this shadow, she'll be history.

Regardless, she is unfit for this office, just by her racist comments alone, let alone the fact that many of her rulings have been reversed by the Supreme Court. She's in the running because she represents obama's wishes for the supreme court. In fact, obama said (amazingly) that when she takes her spot on SCOTUS, "now we'll finally see some justice". Interesting comment, that. And here I thought "justice" was supposed to be blind, not preconceived & locked/loaded based on minority views.

That is a very dumb statement...The only SC Justice involved was Ginsberg..she is a dildo, indeed she could just leave a cardboard cutout in her chair & give 2 votes to Bryer. "EVERY CASE SUBMITTED TO THE USSC MUST BE FIRST VETTED BY THE SUPREME COURT JUSTICE FOR THAT CIRCUIT" that be Ginsberg

It's not over until the fat lady sings!
