HEY! QUITCHER BITCHIN! THIS IS OBAMA'S COUNTRY, NOT YOURS!

David Karki on the new Government Motor mandate to make rinky-dink little death traps:

No one wants these glorified Flintstones cars. Were there profit in it, someone would already be making and selling lots of them. No thuggish orders from Obama and his EPA would be necessary. But that's not the case. In fact, the very vehicle lines Obama just terminated were Detroit's most profitable. And it makes sense. An SUV can comfortably carry a family and their stuff and protect them during the trip. The new Obamobiles can't do any of that.

But then Obama has never let reality get in the way of his hubris. Little things like the immutable laws of economics and physics, and the integrity of contracts, are nothing in the face of his bill- and regulation-signing pen. Obama will outlaw the most profitable good product, force the sale of an unwanted bad product, wave a magic wand to instantly change how efficiently gasoline burns and ignore any legally binding agreement he feels like, and we'll suffer no deleterious consequences for his delusions of grandeur.

Please. This is insane. And does anyone even care anymore about where in hell Obama thinks he gets the constitutional authority to do any of this? I certainly don't see Article II containing anything about the president having the power to appoint himself CEO of the auto industry.

Yeah, it IS insane. Half the damn country is insane and they elected the head kook. I'm getting weary of people trying to soft-pedal this in the name of being nice. Sure is refreshing to hear people start calling this what it is.

And so what if

The Obama administration’s proposed mileage standards that will be announced today may kill more Americans at a faster rate than the Iraq War — his signature issue in the 2008 presidential campaign.

...

The National Academy of Sciences has linked mileage standards with about 2,000 deaths per year. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that every 100-pound reduction in the weight of small cars increases annual traffic fatalities by as much as 715.

In contrast in the more than six years since the Iraq war began, there have been 4,296 deaths among American military personnel.(Gateway Pundit)
