IMHO, it way more far reaching than that. I watched Judy Woodruff and another left leaning think tank woman discussing this tonight on PBS. The thinktanker pointed out that this came right out of the Whitehouse from the Secretary of Transportation who's really feeling his oats after smacking the airline industry with a ruling of a 3 hour maximum from boarding to take off, or else!!!
It caused me to think of the EnvironMental Communutty's mission against SUV's recently. They now want you "back on your feet" and out of your cars since their man caused glowbull warming idea/hoax is falling flat.
Attacking Toyota, the new world leader in auto production and sales, with the media fright machine about gas pedals sticking is more than a shot across the bow... it's insidious and indicative of the seething hatred of the Obama administration for all things successful, capitalistic and profitable!!!
Nothing could possibly be more anti-American that trying to psyche everyone out of their beloved, freedom providing automobiles!!!
This is a serious recall but the hype is a Hail Mary abetted by the State Controlled Press to drive sales to GM or Chrysler. Is the throttle mechanical or is it drive by wire...
