Look! It's an Obama-mobile! RUN, Forrest, RUN!!!

Subtitled: Don't touch my tailpipe, fool!

So -- somewhere between euthanasia for sickly elders and other weaklings as part of his nationalized health care plan, Obama's government will continue to retain it's democrat voter base .... But not without the assistance of ACORN in rigging the census AND a crash --- RASH of really, really cheepie cars built to Tom Daschle's personal assisted suicide specs.

But back to the global war against that evasive warming climate-thingy:
Environmentalists claim the new standards should cut carbon dioxide from tailpipes by 30 percent by 2016. Though that is unlikely, for the reason just stated, the fact remains that cars and light trucks subject to fuel economy standards make up only 1.5 percent of all global man-made greenhouse gas emissions. Thus, Americans will be paying more for cars and continuing to die in ever-greater numbers on the road, all for less than one-half of one percent of man-made greenhouse gas emissions. It is almost as though hardcore greens want to save the planet by killing people, but are only accomplishing the killing part.

Finally, one of the entirely predictable “unintended consequences” of raising the price of new cars will be to keep poorer people driving their old, greenhouse gas-spewing cars. Thus, it should surprise no one that Congress is already considering a “cash for clunkers” program designed to encourage trade-ins. This proposal is a twofer: not only does it attempt to patch a glaring flaw in today’s plan, but it would help save the jobs of all those UAW workers Obama and the Democrats rely upon every other November. Pushing the poor into these new Obamamobiles will also kill more people at the margins, but dead people tend to vote Democratic, so there is no net loss for the Democrats.
