The "letter to the President" below-included is a response to the announcement by Government/UAW Motors that 1,300 (actually more) people are being laid off because of slow (read, nil) sales of the Chevrolet Volt. It will come out in the next few weeks that much of the auto sales rebound has been fleet buying and early replacement of the central government's transportation fleet for government employees.
General Electric Co. has sent down orders that the employees buy VOLTs at their own expense or else.

| The good thing is that VOLTs have provided some training to local fire departments. |
Folks, people may tire of the Hitler comparisons, but this is the face of National Socialism. Co-opt the heavy industry, the main labour unions, demagogue the fig-juice out of Jews, the rich, the Churches, and spend money on grandiose projects. Denigrate traditions where necessary, and capitalise on them where you can. Mobilise the state police to harass the opposition where necessary.
It is to be noted that 45 or so of the various Tea Party amalgam of checkerboard, independent groups have several things in common, in spite of their self-imposed independence and locality. Among those things in common is that they have all been sent a twenty page questionnaire from the Internal Revenue Service, to be completed in full before the 15th of March, 2012. The questionnaire calls for detailed answers concerning associations and processes used by the groups....detailed answers. This is the icy hand of the Geheime Staatspolizei.

Dear President Obama,
Some day soon if I’m running across the national mall shouting “Wolverines!” carrying an empty gas can looking for some of that “Obama Algae,” at least you can’t say you weren’t warned. This nations 15 Trillion dollar economy is entirely dependent on the creation, refining, distribution, and consumption of natural resources like coal, oil, and natural gas. Each one of these components intermingle in a dance of price, supply, quantity, and demand. There existence and availability is constantly perturbed by people of your ideological ilk that threaten these companies with onerous taxation and nationalization; up to and including, through direct threats and/or intrusive regulation. A gallon of gasoline should be considered a national hero. It provides us freedom of movement, and the ability to move about a great nation with a level of convenience only known to modern humanity.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand that when a nation as vital as ours is to a stable and advancing world is; relies on a portion of the world wracked with insanity, like the middle east is and will always be, we are committing an act of insanity ourselves. We even set up a federal department to fix this situation, which of course, they have made far worse. We have all of the resources we need here to become self sufficient. We have the oil, we have the natural gas, we have the coal, we have nuclear power; but more then that we have the can do American ingenuity and positive spirit that has been and will always be our greatest weapon in defeating any adversary or national challenge.
Your administration has squandered billions on chasing the unicorn of the liberal free lunch, often referred to as “renewable energy.” One only needs to watch “Mr. Wizards World” to realize the foolishness in this pursuit on a national scale. I could build you a solar powered car, with a rechargeable battery, and then if I could find a human the size of Luke Skywalker action figure it would work just fine. Just so long as it never left the driveway. In reality, electric cars can’t work because of size and weight. If we abandoned the safety features of these cars they would work, and people buy motorcycles so why would they not buy those electric cars? I’ll tell you why. Because you look like a dork in one. On a motorcycle you look cool. But If you want an electric car it can be done, and somebody will buy it. But it can’t be done with crony capitalism, lawsuit city, and federal regulation, plus Ralph Nader in the passenger seat!
So you keep droning on about it’s not my fault. It’s not my fault we invaded Libya. It’s not my fault that we have destabilized Egypt who is possession of M1 Abrams tanks and F-16’s. It’s not my fault that tax receipts are falling. It’s not my fault that good Americans can’t find work. It’s not my fault that I’ve not done what had to be done to get this economy moving. It’s not my fault that I’ve so mismanaged NASA that we can’t even launch a capsule with an American in it without paying a gangster like Putin the vig. It’s not my fault that guns have been given to the worst of the worst because my attorney general ok’d the dumbest idea since the Edsel. Its not my fault that this war for one side of the same muslim/arab coin is lining up for a mushroom cloud. Would you like me to continue? Because I’m ready willing and able to do so.
“We the People” have taken enough blame from the likes of you. In short order, we are going to drive to those polls and register our firm displeasure. Even if we can’t afford the gasoline to get there.
Respectfully,
Joe Doakes
