Gee, if only Ford could do this...

Posted By david elosser

March 2009: "Let me say this as plainly as I can. If you buy a car from Chrysler or General Motors, you will be able to get your car serviced and repaired just like always. Your warranty will be safe. In fact, it will be safer than it has ever been. Because starting today, the United States will stand behind your warranty."
-President Obama

Today: "General Motors Co (GM.N) is seeking to dismiss a lawsuit over a suspension problem on more than 400,000 Chevrolet Impalas from the 2007 and 2008 model years, saying it should not be responsible for repairs because the flaw predated its bankruptcy."
-Reuters

I'm sure Rod K will be pleased to know that his money may end up paying for this and many other warrenty repair issues in the future. How much will this cost? I don't know exactly but assuming that the cost to replace the spindle rods is $250 per car, that's, well, a lot of money, Rod. wink

Now, anyone who bought a Ford in 2007 or 2008, will have their warrenty repair bills paid for my Ford, not the US taxpayer. I guess they'll just have to take it out of Medicare...

La La Land

Posted By david elosser

"A Republican television executive with no political experience beat his Democratic opponent in a special election Tuesday for the open seat vacated by disgraced former Rep. Anthony Weiner, becoming the first Republican to represent the district in an election watched around the nation... The White House said Wednesday it does not view the defeat as a referendum on the president."

Seriously, it worries me that our President of the United States is this much checked out of reality.

A Ford customer's honest words:
"I wasn't going to buy another car that was bailed out by our government. I was going to buy from a manufacturer that's standing on their own: win, lose, or draw. That's what America is about is taking the chance to succeed and understanding when you fail that you gotta' pick yourself up and go back to work. Ford is that company for me."

Amen Chris.

Especially since the taxpayers took a $14 billion bath over GM and Chrysler. sad

This NYPost op-ed pretty much sums it up:

http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/aimless_obama_walks_alone_OUgoMTkORRJioLl7B6ZYmN


"He talks mostly, and sometimes only, to friend and adviser Valerie Jarrett and to David Axelrod, his political strategist...Everybody else, including members of his Cabinet, have little face time with him except for brief meetings that serve as photo ops...
The president’s workdays are said to end early, often at 4 p.m...
If the reports are accurate, and I believe they are, they paint a picture of an isolated man trapped in a collapsing presidency."

TOTUS has been kidnapped!

"...did the thieves intentionally target the President's truck or did they take advantage of a crime of opportunity and give a big "uh-oh" when they saw what was inside."

I hear the demands are for Obama to hand over $100 billion in Stimulus Money or the TOTUS gets it!
