Credit Whore

Remember how the government bailed out, or was it purchased, GM and Chrysler? Well, did you see on Obama's campaign sight his "Did you see -" entry for May 31^st?

He is taking credit for Ford's success. Ford, the company that didn't take a bailout.

Let us not forget that Ford commercial last Fall in which a Ford owner said he didn't want to buy a car that was from a company that takes bailouts. Then there was the controversy that the Obama administration asked Ford to pull the ad. Ford officially said they ended using the ad because it reached the end of the planned rotation. However, you would think they would keep airing it after it became wildly popular.

It is just so amusing for Obama to highlight a companies success that didn't take government help when he keeps promoting that the government is the solution. It is also amusing that just recently he admitted that green energy cannot survive without government assistance, so we must prop up green energy with government credits.

What a mixed message.
