The government's monster gift to automakers, cash for clunkers, is not pumping up the sales of small cars as it first said it was, instead it's increasing the sales of trucks according to an analysis by Edmunds.com: The Ford Escape crossover SUV, instead of being the seventh-most popular vehicle under the program, as the government ranked it, was actually the best seller, according to Edmunds.com. The government pegged the Ford Focus as the top seller.

Our Mainstream news networks are better at Propaganda then the admitted Communists! That is how BO got elected in the first place and just the other day they were complaining about being coerced and losing revenue for his taking over the news stations yet they are still doing Propaganda PR for ZERO!!!! Mark Twain once said, "If you don't read the newspaper, you are uninformed; if you do read the newspaper, you are misinformed." The latter might be true for those who rely on the national media for the facts. After six months in office, the national media are still telling us how popular President Obama is. That's the national media's spin. The facts tell a different story. A USA Today-Gallup poll found that nine of the last 11 presidents were more popular than President Obama after six months in office. A Rasmussen poll found the president's approval rating below 50%, with more people strongly disapproving than strongly approving of the president. While th

More Smoke and Mirrors to hide the truth from the public! Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein has warned his employess to avoid making big-ticket, high-profile purchases as the gold-plated Wall Street firm hunkers down amid a firestorm of public and political anger over outsize bonus payments. According to sources at the bank, Blankfein has Goldman in particular, should be toned down in light of the billions in bailout money that banks, including Goldman, have gotten from Uncle Sam. A source within the bank said Blankfein first began calling for an end to the conspicuous consumption late last year, but has stepped up his campaign in recent weeks as the White House has sought to rein in compensation and as the firm has gotten dinged by a pair of high-profile magazine articles. "This is a sensitive time for us, and [Blankfein] wants to make sure that we're not being seen living high on the hog," said one Goldman exec.
