That Obama. What a card.
Or as they say in China, a 2013 Cataract.
The unions must be thrilled!
Yet another reason to refuse to buy a Government Motors car.
Every time I see a Cadillac, I think of:
* leisure suits
* poseurs
* pimps
* union thugs with truncheons
Am I wrong?
I hope Caddy purchasers like that new flavor of “new car smell” (think: the inside of a Harbor Freight store).
Wonder who was the bonehead who made that decision? There goes the neighborhood!! Buh, Bye caddie.
How come communists can afford Cadillacs and I can’t afford shit??
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Easier to do biz with ChiComs than to do biz in the USA.
Now....that is highly, highly instructive.
Once the plant is up and running Obama will then try to take credit for creating 500 new jobs.
Currently, only the Cadillac SLS, an extended length luxury sedan, is built in China. Cadillac imports the CTS, SRX crossover and Escalade from plants in the United States and Mexico.
Well what about all that American taxpayer GM-bailout money? Shouldn’t there be a clause in the associated fine print that says keep the jobs in America?
I don’t know, maybe it’s just me, but it doesn’t seem too much to ask.
Our tax dollars at work. How nice.
That’ll help sales in the US.

Well I guess the Chinese qualify to drive, at least the one’s I get stuck behind in Houston
Government Motors sending jobs overseas. Like the Chinese can’t afford to pay a premium on a luxury car? See, e.g., Mercedes, Audi, Porsche.
I was never a HUGE supporter of the notion that you just HAVE to “buy American, no matter what,” no matter if the only options are made by UAW goons, no matter how poor the repair record is, etc. But it was worth a smidge extra to me if a product was American and otherwise a good deal.
Now, this?
The one big reason we were supposed to buy GM is out the window TOO, in addition to all the BAD stuff (benefits to union goons, etc.) that’s sticking around.
I’ll stick with my 2000 Honda Accord, assembled in Marysville Ohio with non-union-goon labor.
Don’t want to hear another word out of King BOZer0’s flapping purple lips about American jobs being outsourced overseas? Now our very taxpayer-owned Govt. Motors is sending ‘our’ jobs to the CHicoms. Are we chumps or what?
I hope the leather for the seats won’t be cured in urine.
