I passed that Chevy Dolt like it was standing still.

They should put windmills on them so the breeze of passing cars can generate a couple of watts.

Just as Jenny Granmole planned it.. Michigan Taxpayer money is “Blown Away” and she ain’t around to take the blame.

A lotta good this Berkley Bitch did for Michigan.

FUBO and Screw Jenny too.

The Volt is 1000 times better than was the Vega. It doesn’t rust in the showroom while waiting to be sold.

A lot of the Volts “sold” are actually option leases where the uses pays $199 per month, but at the end of 2 years has the option to turn the car back in and walk away ...

If not, then he has bought the car and owes the balance [can be financed] ...

“Another Green Energy disaster.”

I’m sure Romney is taking note to add to his list in the next debate. Hehehehe!

The really cool thing about the debates, is that the candidate can have his dark crevices exposed nationally. I watched the 1st debate again over the weekend, and Obama’s anniversary shout out to Michelle included the statement, that next year they would not be, “celebrating in front of 40 million people.”

Wrong Mr. President, it was 67 million people watching you shrink in your wretchedness and inability.

I eagerly anticipate installments II and III of Obama’s political demise.
