Get Your Volt Now, Before They Are Gone....... Oh Wait......

I read yesterday with more than a little disgust that GM is not going to be producing any more of that VOLT crap until they get rid of some of what they have in stock. So that means, until the government starts buying them with the left hand and hiding it from us with the right hand, another one of B.O.'s brilliant plans is a big fat zilch.
How many does that make now?  There was Solyndra.  I recall B.O. making a big splashy news conference about the wonders of solar energy and the folks who were making it happen there.(FYI when B.O. shows up with his sleeves strategically rolled up one quarter, no tie, drops the 'g' from words, and than throws around the word 'folks', batten the hatches 'cuz he is campaignin'!) Then what happened? That's right, we wasted a half a billion dollars on a company that bought lots of cool gadgets and went belly up.
And then there was Light Squared.  They did what Solyndra did, but with half the money. I guess when you only lose a quarter of a billion tax dollars, you seem like the hero.
And now we have B.O. making another "just folks" stop by the GM Volt plant that you and I own, and he is telling us that in five years (God forbid) when he quits, he is going to buy one himself.  I guess his bunch of brown shirts was too busy goose stepping on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights to give him the heads up on how crappily the Volt is selling.
I would be laughing if I hadn't already spent about $256,000 per on each of the little flame balls already produced.
And now, B.O. is trying to move a little right and say he wants an "all of the above" approach to energy policy. Poop. He has closed off most of the places where the oil is.  He has said no to the 'Keystone Pipeline'. He has said no to drilling permits for American companies, but ironically has allowed other countries to start drilling.He has said no to more refineries.  He is doubling down on his green energy myth and no amount of common sense seems to dissuade him.
B.O. stinks. Remember that in November.  You'll thank me later.
