I commend you Omaba!
The Internet (or arpanet, as it was once called) has been around for a hot minute but it has been publicly traded since the early 90's, and allowing the common person access to a million and one things. Which is why it makes perfect sense for our president to communicate with us through a video blog. Omaba started targeting an audience that Bush forgot about...

My generation.

Therefor, increasing his popular vote and giving us, not the white haired, privileged, Caucasian men, but the normal, 18-30year old group of people that in end, somewhat care.

Here he talks about reviving the economic system, keeping a close eye on big CEO's to make sure that our (taxpayers) dollars are not being abused, and most important, doing something about the housing market and get credit flowing once again.

Watch it here!

Here we go...

The Car Czar.

I like it.
It should be

"Ivan the Fabulous"

I think Speaker of the House Rep. Nancy Pelosi is going somewhere with her "barber shop/haircut" theory. Except, personally, I think that the scumbags need to get their heads shaved!

Let me catch you up in a short sweet way,

So the "US Big Three" (G.M, Ford and Chrysler) head to DC to talk beg Congressmen/women into give them (well, its really the tax payers money) 30 billion dollars. They need the money in order to keep them open for business.

Apparently they also needed to fly to DC in private jets. You'd think, basically, on their way to beg for money because its either that or chapter 7/11, that the would maybe all jump in one private jet? Much less a (gasp) car!
So basically congress has told them that there is absolutely no way they are getting so much money. Second of all conditions would apply. For example more fuel efficient cars, hybrids, electrics, and better fuel emissions. The Big 3 (pictured right) even agreed to a pay cut. They would go from their unreported millions of dollars a year to a one (1) million (much less glamorous [ugh]) salary.

To me, this is hogwash.

I say, fire all three.

Take the last 25 years, Ford, Chrysler and G.M have managed to turn an industry that was started for transportation, comfort, availability into a mess of debt, greed, manipulation, and greed. (ha ha). Look at Nissan, Toyota... 100 mpg car? yup, in production from a car industry that seems to care. Now, I fully believe that in all areas of this world, people are trying to make money, hell, even me! But the difference seems to be that The Big Japanese 3 understand what The Big American 3 don't. The ability to keep your customers and keeping up with the demand of "greener, affordable living". Nissan, Toyota and the others are actually doing quite well.

I wonder why!

Anyway, so basically nothing has been resolved. They are still wasting money, energy, resources trying to figure a solution for this mess. As of now, they are re-thinking of a 15 billion dollar bailout, and the 3 pricks drove in hybrids this time. Time will tell, until then...

Here's a solution.

Fire the creeps.
Elect a Car Czar (Ivan the fabulous).
Monitor every single transaction made over a million dollars.
Stop the production of Hummers, Escalades, Yukons, and those other crazy sized SUVs.
Use all the above for scrap metal to build fuel efficient cars.
Make lenders be more weary of lending money.
Heaven sakes, lower the interest rates.

I think that's enough,

I'm just saying.
