Nothing scares the GOP like Al does I was at the Huffpost when news came early in the morning that Al had won an Academy award or was it the Nobel Prize?
Anyway the trolls came with pages and pages of crap it was like they were all on speed dial I have never seen anything like it.
Well to be honest the day Karl Rove resigned that did get us a lot of comments:)

It is possible after all at least one of the big three and possibly all of them will soon need a government bailout.
So if they need tax payer cash then Obama will have a say in how they run things.
First thing he should do fire all top management. Second hire someone else people who want to go green, third give Al the Call!

Where is Obama he needs to start driving one!

good idea. have you sent him your suggestion?

Gas is at $4 a gallon headed to $5 a gallon and all the Hedge fund managers and WallStreet Financial types who love to buy companies are not talking to Aptera? They should be offering them billions the American car companies should be buying these guys out.
Nobody better tell me that America can’t make money on green cars! Nobody better say we can’t compete!
However would the Big Three Car makers or WallStreet know a good idea if it smacked them…No sadly no! Arggggh!

We need to link the 70’s oil crisis and economic meltdown to what is happening today. We need to link what Bush is doing about this down turn and high oil prices to what caused oil prices to rise in the 70’s. Then we link McCain to Bush.
