—with apologies to Sammy Johns and “Chevy Van”
You know that the economy was draggin’
Obama threw billions down the rathole
Abrogating bankruptcy law, fillin’ the unions’ flagon
Because a socialist economy was his end goal
So with tax money panderin’ to the mob
Claiming everyone would have green jobs
Assuming that the consumers were dolts
Obama came up with the Chevy Volt
As the car for you and me
It wasn’t really that affordable
It wasn’t anything you might desire
Didn’t go far even when the charge was full
And had a tendency to catch on fire
But with tax money panderin’ to the mob
And claimin’ everyone would have green jobs
Assuming that the consumers were dolts
Obama came up with the Chevy Volt
As the car for you and me
Turns out there are hidden subsidies
Each car costs almost a quarter mil—
No-one held to account for the amounts
But the unions all have a full till
But with tax money panderin’ to the mob
And claimin’ everyone would have green jobs
Assuming that the consumers were dolts
Obama came up with the Chevy Volt
As the car for you and me
But with tax money panderin’ to the mob
And claimin’ everyone would have green jobs
Assuming that the consumers were dolts
Obama came up with the Chevy Volt
As the car for you and me
Enjoyed the ballad. But fun aside, the whole Obama/GM bailout saga stinks.
Since the Obama administration is a major shareholder in a public corporation, one has to wonder why they are not being held to the same regulatory disclosure and public statement requirements as other large shareholders/board members. While I’m no expert on SEC regulations, I don’t believe there is anything that exempts members of the federal government from them.
The most egregious act, if true, would be the administration profiting from a NHTSA cover-up of Chevy Volt fire hazards. Can you imagine what would happen to a private sector stockholder engaging in such actions?
LOL…
Here’s a musical alternative to selling out to the eco-freaks!
In a Yugo…
Wrong company, so I won’t ask … ‘Will Edsel many of them?’
The engineer who designed the Volt should be staked out on an amp hill.
The battery designer’s problem was, he didn’t know watts up.
It’s nothing more than a fantasy of Joules Verne.
Now I will leaf you, Buzz, Leyden with potential.
