• Look at the bright side, if we can hold out a few more months, they might just pay us to take one off the lot!
  Since my wife only has to travel 1.5 miles to work, she can go there and back before she needs to get it recharged, if she's lucky.
  Then we only need to wait for the Obama promise of electric rates skyrocketing for it to not be worth owning.

  • As long as the weather is warm. With electric cars, we just might turn global warming around, and begin the next ice age.

• That means each copy including all subsidies, now will cost the American Taxpayer $260,000 each, really, no shit 260 grand for the self destructing piece of junk by dearleader motors

• Give them to all the dead democrat voters, at least that way they won't be on the road and won't explode next to me...You know it's funny, Sacramento to Stockton California, I have yet to see one on the road.....Wonder where they get driven? Must be on surface streets cause you don't see them on the highway.

• Don't know why he's bumping the subsidy up to 10K, nobody will buy the damn things even after that. Sounds like Cash for Clunkers part D'eux

  • I would buy one and take advantage of the bumped-up $10K subsidy... provided I'm still eligible to receive food stamps.

    (See next story: "$1 million lotto winner continues to collect food stamps")

• Not a word from the #occuslob movement about subsidies to the 1%.

• Aside from the many abuses of power and the thrashing of The Constitution and the Bill of Rights, why do we still listen to the Ass-Hat In Chief?

• Obama should just give them away, then he could brag about all the jobs he create at dealerships when people start bringing them in to be fix :D

  • All lesbians, gays, bisexuals and trannies are equal and well endowed by Chevy with certain union manufactured electrocars. While it may not be in the Constitution, nor part of the original text of the Declaration, this is quite likely something solyndra gunwalker will use trying to maintain his stranglehold on the oval room, or ovarian orifice, or whatever its called. Since he is a scholar of great brainiality, certainly his understanding of the Constitution - which he professored - is much more ass toot than any other human that ever read alinsky.

• obama needs to give up on his obamamobile because nobody wants them.

  • But, but, it's the car America had to build!

• Just what GE needs, another gubbermint subsidy.

• Also comes with a fire extinguisher and a 30 mile extension cord.

  • If you bump up the subsidy to $10K...that's still at least twice what the thing is worth.
