its just how the game is played on that level.

Toyota standardized a lot of small parts on their line to keep costs down. This means your tiny Toyota car might have the same gas pedal as a van or truck because manufacturers give bulk discounts. This becomes a liability however when the standardized part is defective. Instead of effecting 1 model it effects all models.

BTW He does have a "negro dialect", just the other day he said "maybe thats just how I roll". Pretty sure we have never had a sitting president use a line like that.

Well put Matthew. Obama has reached across the aisle time and time again, only to be rebuked by partisan republicans. And how about the latest? The Republicans voting against legislation that they mostly drafted soley because it looked like most democrats were going to support it!

I think there is a good chance the American people will smarten up. That is realize the problems lie with the obstructionist Rebublicans and vote out a shit load come this fall. Of course, we can only hope.

The biggest problem is he is all over the map! He supports coal, then he doesn't, then he does. Nobody even pays attention anymore, because tomarrow he will be against nuclear. Buisiness needs to have some idea where to stand.

I don't believe him at all.....

It looks like a GESTURE, nothing more.

I'll bet my bottom dollar these plants never get built by Obama.

Obama is now reminding me of the many (many) governors and cabinet officers I have known who, whenever confronted with a problem, appointed a commission or a task force to study the issue. Yucca Mountain has been in prep for 10 years and now Obama kills it. There is NO nuclear waste storage facility in the US and none even in the planning stages. But that doesn't stop Obama from posturing politically and proposing 2 new nuke plants.

And then there's the commission on debt and spending. Obama seems to think that if that commission he appoints tells him to raise middle class taxes then he can do so and have a shield from the political fallout. What leadership! What courage! I guess that's what Bush should have done, appoint a commission to tell him to invade Iraq. Obama is paralyzed with fear and confusion. He is effectively not the president and never has been. Problem is, no-one else is either.
