		<description>I hope Obama isn&#039;t claiming that he is buying an American made car. According to the Kelly Blue Book list of top American made cars, the Ford Escape Hybrid &lt;em&gt;does not qualify as &quot;&lt;strong&gt;American Made&lt;/strong&gt;&quot;&lt;/em&gt; because &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;less than &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;75% of it&#039;s parts are domestically manufactured.

I know it&#039;s nit-picking, but with his campaign&#039;s history of deficient research, one would think they would have noticed this little point.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Rocker, the battery and system have an 8 year warranty. No pro-rating. I doubt I will have the vehicle 8 years.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Still, the environmentalists&#039; justification for insisting everyone driving these things is the money you supposedly save and the environmental issues, both of which are bogus for the reasons I mentioned, espeically for the long term.

		<description>The argument from hypocrisy should have some affect on enviro-types but in my experience it never does.  Might as well not even try it.  The answer is invariably along the lines of: &quot;Well, lots of people have SUVs.  Big deal if our guy has one.&quot;  The implication being that it is fine for Gore, Obama, and their ilk to have SUVs -- &lt;em&gt;until&lt;/em&gt; the great day comes when the vehicles are universally banned.  &lt;em&gt;Then&lt;/em&gt; and only them would it be hypocritical for Obama, etc., to own/drive one.</description>

		<description>Rocker, the battery and system have an 8 year warranty. No pro-rating. I doubt I will have the vehicle 8 years :-)

As for the other comments. Very good, you state the obvious, as I said, so little space.. silly me :-)

As for the Toyota comment. Most cars today are made by convention. Toyota does not make a better vehicle, they have better advertising, better lobbies and as I said, the environuts are on their side. The environuts do not want anything made in the USA. They blame the President for chasing jobs overseas when their attack attorney lawsuits and logic defying EPA &amp; OSHA regulations result in the largest loss of manufacturing jobs in the US.

The media consistantly plays the automotive game the same way they play politics. Foreign cars get only good press, US cars get only bad.  Consumer reports loves Asian models, J.D. Powers loves Europe.  As for Toyota, a good brand, but the last two years running Ford has kicked their butts in the consumer complaint department.  Funny, how Toyota can recall 3 million vehicles for a transmission defect and media fails to notice.  The same media that placed dynomite in a Chevy Pickup and exploded it on camera to influence the public that the vehicle was dangerous.  Funny also how they fail to mention the multi million dollars lawsuit payouts they had to make to Ford and Chevy.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback all :-) Time to eat :-) Everyone have a really great day :-)</description>

So let me get this straight. All our senators have secret service and bullet proof SUVs? Or just those running for president? Has Obama had this SS unit protecting him paid for by our tax dollars since he announced he was running for POTUS or before? Did all the other candidates have them? Are they paid for with campaign dollars or tax dollars?

These are important questions that we need to ask.

Bottom line though is he changed after he was called out which to me means he is not fit for pres. IMHO&lt;/blockquote&gt;

You know, you have a point.  Instead of spreading (like manure) millions of dollars on commercials that people just tune out, why don&#039;t the candidates reimburse the gov&#039;t for their own protection?  Obama is hemorrhaging money, and Hillary can just send ol&#039; Bill out to make a few speeches.  Speaking of Bill, he can afford to spring for some of his own protection too, since he has made being an ex-president so profitable.  The Bushes too.  Carter can get Hamas to pay for his.

If they can arbitrarily make decisions that screw up our financial status, why can&#039;t we return the favor?

They can get the tax paid stuff &lt;em&gt;after&lt;/em&gt; they get the job.

Me?  I would just get a bid from Blackwater, LOL!</description>

We’re on the same page there. But the Envoy isn’t his campaign vehicle, it’s one of his private vehicles.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

No, I know that. I&#039;m just saying, if he&#039;s going to be a hypocrite about his private cars, at least he&#039;s trying to be an environmentally friendly one. :lol:</description>
