Rush rips Volt, 'Obama Motors'
Seriously, what’s wrong with people? Rush Limbaugh is an entertainer. Last I knew, he was being driven around by a chauffeur. You don’t take car advice from a political talk show entertainer. As always, he manages to make some good points while simultaneously making it entertaining and showing his lack of knowledge in this field by comparing apples to oranges (or automobiles to smart phones) so that he can make sense in his own mind. Now I know why I stick to entertainers like Howard Stern. Babba Booey.

Quote from the article:
With President Barack Obama scheduled to visit the plant where General Motors' Volt is manufactured, Rush Limbaugh is slamming the electric car, saying the vehicle’s $41,000 cost is a steep price to pay for showing “you care” about the environment. “However, you can get it for less — there's a $7,500 tax credit,” Limbaugh said with a sardonic tone on his Wednesday program. “Which means that Obama and the government are admitting that nobody wants this. Nobody wants it. We gotta give you a $7,500 discount. Why don't you try this, Mr. Obama, and the rest of you at Obama Motors: Just put it out there at 41 grand and let the market decide.” Limbaugh repeated this sentiment throughout the segment, later quoting an “Obama vehicles executive” — referring to GM's vehicle line director for the Volt, Tony Posawatz — who called the Volt “a game-changing product.” "The iPhone was a game-changing product," Limbaugh said, "and it didn't take a tax credit. And they sold over 90 million of the things. A game-changing product does not need a tax credit. They're mutually exclusive.” |
