Documents Reveal Cozy Relationship Between Obama Administration and General Motors
June 3rd, 2011 · No Comments
Documents released last week by the U.S. Treasury Department indicate that General Motors (a.k.a., “Government Motors”) and the Obama administration coordinated their public relations strategy regarding GM’s much-criticized 2010 ad campaign, in which the car maker misleadingly claimed to have repaid all its government loans, according to the folks at the Competitive Enterprise Institute. This [...]

Remember all the hullabaloo about Toyota vehicles allegedly being unsafe as a result of sticky gas pedals?

April 23rd, 2010 · 1 Comment
Earlier today, I highlighted the fact that, despite new advertising claims made by General Motors, taxpayers were still on the hook for the bailout money the automaker received. Now, I can report that the Obama Administration appears to be preparing to “soak” taxpayers again — this time by touting cellulosic ethanol as a viable alternative [...]

Despite GM Ad Claim, Taxpayers Still on Hook
April 23rd, 2010 · 1 Comment
“A lot of Americans didn’t agree with giving General Motors a second chance,” says General Motors Chairman and CEO Ed Whitacer in the opening moments of a new television commercial (below) the government-owned automaker began airing Wednesday.

Obama Administration Sending Wrong Signals
February 5th, 2010 · No Comments
