Joe Bidens premature victory cry
of “GM is alive and Bin Laden is dead,” rings pretty hollow these days. If that’s
all he and President Obama have to hang their hat on after 4 years of “hope and
change,” it is a pitiful campaign slogan.
A Similar, premature proclamation
hung around George Bush’s neck when he declared “victory” in Iraq, when in
reality there were still bloody years ahead.
Heralded by the 2009 Obama
apology tour speech in Cairo,
this week was a shock to Joe and his
boss Barack Obama, as their naive “re-set” of foreign policy shattered in
violence. Our Ambassador in Libya
was killed and our embassies all over the Islamic world were under siege by
angry mobs.
The knee jerk reaction from the shocked
Obama administration was to blame the violence on spontaneous reaction to a
cheesy video on the internet that poked fun of the Islamic religion. But facts lead to the
conclusion that at least the Libyan embassy attack was pre-planned and under the influence of Al Quaeda…Ominously for the Obama/Biden narrative, killing Osama Bin Laden, didn't mean the end of Al Quaeda and the huge wave of anti American violence showed the last 4 years of Obama diplomacy hadn't changed hearts and minds in the Islamic world.

But buried under the blizzard of
foreign policy failure, another tassled shoe was about to drop. It was learned the
heavily govt. subsidized Chevy Volt, built by the heavily govt. subsidized
General Motors has had disastrous sales.
In spite of huge tax credits and the Obama administration trying to
artificially inflate sales by forcing the defense Dept to buy Volts…few in the general public are
buying them. Forbes Magazine said there are enough scams here to satisfy a Chicago politician.
The Volt was the poster child of
the Obama administration, an example of “how
to” in leading the way for billions of govt dollars doled out to “renewable energy”
schemes. Almost all of these green
energy schemes, including subsidizing, solar companies and electric car manufacturing, have proven to be an utter failure.
Last week General Motors stated
they wanted the Obama administration to sell its share of stock it owns in their
company, the image of being known as Government Motors is hurting business.
