FUBO! Zero has never run a comapny and fails to understand that the federal government does not control commerce. These companies need to sue Zero for his statements and actions.

I don't know what to say. The man is a marxist or an idiot. He certainly does not understand market capitalism.
Maybe he should ask his pals at GM how to force a product on a market that doesn't want to buy it. Eg. the Volt.

Ford seems to have done pretty good with the F series trucks.

"...Obama has touted the new standards as the single most important step weve ever taken as a nation to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. That's because the idea of developing our own vast, known energy resources hasn't occured to him.

Does he realize that about the only market where the US automakers can still make a profit is SUVs and trucks??? Does he realize that not everyone lives in Chicago and that some people actually need trucks to do their jobs and to live their lives? Does he realize that not everyone with an SUV is a soccer mom with security issues? He is too stupid to realize that he is destroying the productive and profitable parts of American industry. Unless he bans SUVs and trucks, someone else will make them and Americans will buy them.

This is code for “build more Chevy Volts” (which no one buys, even brain-dead libs)..

Pure statist elitism. Dictating auto policy from an armored Escalade.

I'm sure Obama will take a cue from his hero, and get the automakers to do his bidding.

“...you have got to understand the market”
Dumb statement of the year.
If the market was demanding smaller cars, they would build smaller cars. They build SUV’s and trucks, becuase that’s what the market demands.
It’s Obama that doesn’t understand the market.

Those standards go on 1/22/2013.

Sure they can OBama. You’ll be gone soon enough like a bad memory while the automakers will still be producing big vehicles that makes them big money.
To: Sub-Driver
Ubama is always telling people what they can and can't do and that they have made enough money.
It's like he believes he is a dictator or something.

Meanwhile the a$$hat travels around in an up-armored Greyhound bus that will get a freaking 100 yards to the gallon.
