Cash for Clunkers is just another immoral Obamanomics scam. He has dished out a cool billion and plans to dish out another couple of billion of your children’s and grandchildren’s money so that some clunker drivers can have their perfectly good clunkers destroyed for some mythical mileage improvement on the order of 3 MPG! The religious environmentalists fail to point out the carbon costs of destroying perfectly good assets to manufacture other assets. This makes no sense either economically or environmentally.
The winner again is the UAW which seems to hold him captive. The liberals who advocate C4C spin it to the unwashed masses as free money. Yes, there is a free lunch, Rube! In fact, it is simple theft, robbing Peter to pay Paul with Obama as the fence extorting his vigorish.
The simpletons who buy into this program fail to see that the several billion could have been privately employed to invest in innovation, wealth creation, and jobs for a depressed economy. Those same simpletons fail to understand that the money must come from somewhere, that would be taxes and debt; that debt must be repaid with interest; it will be repaid by their children and grandchildren. Obama’s intergenerational immorality at it sleaziest!

Wow, lucky me, a sculptor just sitting around waiting for used metal parts that I can create new things out of and then turn around and sell my new sculptures calling them all "eco- green" ,"reuseable", "renewable", " reclaimed" , " save the earth " products. Heck I could even work out a deal, paid to me by your tax money so that 2 weeks after each cash for clunkers exchanged, the customer would automatically get a sculpture made out of their old car parts , very nostalgic. I could make a fortune!!! Only one small problem with this new add on program, how would I ever get the blood off my hands. I guess I'll pass after all. If they can' t even run this program so how do they think they could manage the new health care scheme. Closing thoughts –Pray harder! to stop these madmen.

Obama is the Heartbeat of America, not a scam.

Obama has a socialist heartbeat which heretofore hasn't been American. God save us.

Obama is the Heartbeat of America.
The only politician who is not a scam.
If You Have Health Insurance, the Obama Plan:
* Ends discrimination against people with pre-existing conditions.
* Limits premium discrimination based on gender and age.
* Prevents insurance companies from dropping coverage when people are sick and need it most.
* Caps out-of-pocket expenses so people don't go broke when they get sick.
* Eliminates extra charges for preventive care like mammograms, flu shots and diabetes tests to improve health and save money.
* Protects Medicare for seniors.

Yes Darla, And the country goes broke. The money to pay for this scam will come from our grandchildren and great-grandchildren who will be working to pay back our debt to China!
