'...I'm President Barak Obama....recently, I invested what amounts to about 50 billion of you, the taxpayer's, money in an embarrassing attempt to shore up my constituancy in the Michigan area, by giving your money away to the failing domestic auto compaines. True, we did not give any to Ford, but after we flood their competitors with your cash, they will be unable to compete and come knocking at our door like bitches.'

' I am speaking today about you, the citizen. You have benfitted from living in this great nation, and now we must have your help. Your government is now the largest builder of SUV's, Trucks, pony cars and some of what are the sh-tiest autos in the world. I realize that you, the public, are savvy auto buyers, but I ask you to throw off your insights and adopt the ignorance so demanded of you to run out and buy one of these f--king lemons as soon as possible. Just to show you how serious we are and to make your effort even harder, we ass f--ked your local dealers, people who backed little leagues, rotary, local schools, gave cars to needy charities and the like, those dealers who still had your loyalty, even after their suppliers stuck their dicks up your asses for decades and they had to smoooth it over for them to keep you coming back.'

'So just to show you what a stand up player I am, as an incentive, we will PAY you the sum of $2500...$4500..well, whatever...of YOUR money, to turn in your old ride and buy one of these pieces of sh-t, just as soon as possible, form a dealer that is now three times farther away than he was last week.'

'So get out there citizens and do your duty! Daddy's gonna be swimmin' in cars soon and it's all up to you! I realize it's another ass f--king, but HEY!..it's me doin the f--king so you KNOW it's O.K!'

Hello...your bias shows again,and tour lack of knowledge.There is no michigan constituency for a US president elected nation wide .There is however the legacy of 8 years of BUsh economy that left the country bankrupt.There is also the legacy of corporate tycoons from GM who claimed :We are not in the business of making cars,we are in the business of making money.The result of such stupidity is now blatantly obvious .
On top of that trillions have been spent on the Iraqi war,the one that claimed we were under siege of Saddam and his WMD.
What a joke the neocons are ,how petty they have become now.Occasionally they sit upright in their coffins burping up their stale insanities into the faces of the rest of humanity .Be quit SP4 and crawl back in your grave .The entire world knows better than you .Even the Iranians protesters don't want any association with the likes of you.They admire Obama,not Bush.
