Why wait?

Obama says that, in five years, when he isn’t president anymore, he’s going to buy a Chevy Volt.

If he’s tying his purchase to the end of his stay in the White House, he might want to start placing an order around November of this year. And here’s a tip, Barry: get one with the automatic sprinkler option.

The really scary thing is Obama’s assumption that he’ll win another term. If he does, then I think we’re pretty much finished. The amount of ideological idiocy, corporate cupidity, interest-group gangsterism and sheer ignorance required to successfully heave this guy back into the White House would indicate a country that has become completely unmoored from its founding principles, and one not likely to regain its appreciation of them until they are almost irretrievably lost, at which point the means for effecting their recovery approaches the revolutionary.

Why doesn't he mandate all his administrative staff,Czars and executive members drive Volts? Why doesn't the Department of Energy guy have to bip around town in his mandated Volt?

Good question, Yojimbo. The county here bought a bunch of hybrids (the Prius, I think) to "save" money. More fools they.

I suggest, with regret, it doesn't "approach the revolutionary", JP. What alternatives do you have?
