Another Un-award in Fairy Tale Land

The New York Times (yes, even the left leaning Times!)  called the Chev Volt  “GM's electric lemon.”  It's that bad!

If you are not familiar with it, the Volt is Obama's little electric car experiment.  Only I fear it will not remain an experiment, but will be shoved down our throats like the Obama Unhealth Care bill. 

No transport, no health care, here we come third world - and get out of the way! We are barrelling down that road faster than a Volt's top speed.  In case of an accident, don't call your health care provider - you won't be covered unless you are in this country illegally.

Anyway, this little "car" has been named Motor Trend's Car of the Year. Now there's an award as meaningful as the Nobel Prize awarded for no accomplishment.  Or the Most Powerful Woman in the World Award awarded for no accomplishment. Spot a trend here?  Awards are handed out as easily as welfare in this entitlement age.  Nanny prizes in a Nanny state. Yah! 

But maybe the prize was in anticipation of job creation. Now, I expect the Volt will do for jobs as the Obama stimulus did for jobs.  Up in this north country, we need vehicles that will get us to work through drifts of snow and 40 below weather.  The volt, a tiny electric car will do that?  I think not.  So after not getting to work for a few days, your job will go where the millions of stimulus jobs went - one more job "created or saved" in the Obama world of fairy tales and tall tales.

Oh, and when you are stalled and freeze to death in the 40 below weather, why the Volt will get another prize -- for saving money under the Unhealth Care Law - you know, go directly home, bypass the death counseling, life lost but money saved.

OofDah!
