[QUOTE="Newbie, post: 3693174, member: 5512"] I can tell you about Pontiac and Oldsmobile. Those died when GM filed bankruptcy and needed to cut down on the different factories and tooling. They weren't selling like other brands and GM was dying on the vine, mainly because the government went one way with GWBush and the other with OBlama. GM said, "We have enough money to retool one time for a green energy product. Which one do you guys like?" and GWBush said, "Hydrogen. It looks to be the way of the future." So GM re-tooled along with the other brands to producing Hydrogen cars. They even had some produced and tested by famous people, including Jay Leno and Sean Hannity. Then we had another election and Obama came along. Oblama said, "Electric is better so my friends can get subsidies". Remember Solindra? Hundreds of millions of dollars given from the government one month, and the next they've filed bankruptcy and closed the doors, nowhere to be found. Not suspicious at all. Anyway, the whiplash killed the auto industry with only Ford able to keep itself afloat, though they were forced to take bailout money anyway by the corrupt Obama regime. You know, if Repubs would work as hard at getting their supporters paid as Dems do, we'd almost have a fair fight on our hands. [/QUOTE]
