Looks like we have another ‘Obamplishment‘ on our hands [Obama + 'accomplishment'].
Sure, GM’s $50 billion dollar bailout, lest we forget their $9 billion IPO loss 4 months ago, was a big negative. So we’ll focus on the positive, Government Motor’s latest ‘success‘ — the Chevy Volt.
You’ve heard a lot about Obama’s Volt from mainstream media these last two months. Not.
Who cares. When the Feds use your money to purchase 1-in-every-4 GM hybrids sold, there’s simply nothing to worry about:
(Washington Examiner) Looks like President Obama’s going to have to arrange another series of government acquisitions, ‘cause this isn’t good:
‘Peruse Chevrolet’s February sales release, and you’ll notice one number that’s blatantly missing: the number of Chevy Volts sold. The number – a very modest 281 – is available in the company’s detailed data (PDF), but it certainly isn’t something that GM wants to highlight, apparently. Keeping the number quiet is a bit understandable, since it’s lower than the 321 that Chevy sold in January.’
Note that it’s also lower than the 326 that sold in December. There are about 9,200 left to sell.
ps – This article is dedicated to I Own The World who published Sad Hill’s first ‘Obamplishment‘ satire (below) back in June, I think it was:
ps #2 — The Obama Volt ‘lemon joke’ above is an old one that has been passed around often. Just cleaned it up a bit. Apologies in advance to the originator.

Three years supply of 2010 models still left eh?
Yup.
Deep in the pit of my stomach, I feel that if the health care law is upheld by SCOTUS, we will be forced to buy these types of vehicles. Seems like we have a “better-than-thou” administration, and they are of the opinion that the American people will “do as I say, not as I do.” Isn’t that just a wonderful example to set for our children?
Thanks, SadHill. I keep checking your site every day!
John, you’re thinking waaay too clearly. Don’t you realize thinking just leads to more thinking?
Hey, I appreciate you stopping by!
Always check your site several times a day. Occasionally I have to voice my opinion. Yes, thinking too much gives me headaches. Didn’t someone once say that ignorance is bliss? Maybe I should try it sometime. LOL
I only stop by for the google ads.
And they are spectacular this morning.
