More stupidity in a week than Bush could pull off in a year! How stupid is the jug eared douche nozzle? He makes it even more expensive for car manufacturers to develop cars. Way to go moron.
ECONOMY IN SHAMBLES SO WHAT DOES OBAMA DO? INCREASE FUEL EFFICIENCIES!!!
Sure, it’s all well and good to demand cars get better gas mileage but to do so when Americans are already NOT buying cars; to do so when our own auto manufacturers are falling into bankruptcy; and to do so knowing full well the new efficiency requirements could tack on up to $10,000 to the price of each car is utter folly.
If people are not buying now, how many will they buy when the prices are higher?
President Barack Obama wants automakers to make greener cars at a time when General Motors and Chrysler are hanging by the thread of a massive government loan and auto sales have plummeted to their lowest levels in more than two decades.
Obama’s plans could bring smaller cars, more hybrids and advanced fuel-saving technologies to showrooms, but car shoppers will probably pay more upfront because the new rules are expected to cost the hamstrung industry billions of dollars.
“The consumer needs to understand that they will see significant increases in the cost of vehicles,” said Rebecca Lindland, an auto analyst for the consulting firm IHS Global Insight. Her firm estimated the upgrades could add $2,000 to $10,000 to the price of a vehicle.
But it gets worse. He also ordered the EPA to review whether states could set their own emissions standards to be tougher than federal standards.
Truth, Lies and In Between 
He did say he wanted us all taking the bus. Looks like that’s exactly what he’s going for.
