Lately it has bothered me to the core when people try to dog the "Cash for Clunkers" program (and thereby attempting a dig at the Obama administration) by talking about how quickly it lost money. Really? The reason it ran out of money so quickly is because it was SO STINKIN' POPULAR! If you give people 4,500 dollars to buy a new car, sooner rather than later, you're going to run out of money! Can we just be glad that our current administration is creative enough to come up with a program that not only helps people buy cars in these tough economic times, but it also helps boost the auto industry. So, can we get our facts straight before we make a stupid attempt at an anti-Obama comment? That is all.

AMEN, brother! (well. . .actually. . .son. But you know what I mean!)
Seriously, the C for C should be measured in environmental impact and not in $. Not unlike the cash for firearms programs in the city of Birmingham, AL, which was privately funded, the C for C program removed thousands of gas guzzling, polution belching autos from our roadways. That alone was worth the cost of the program.
Now, if we could get some serioulsy effective gun registration laws in the city, we would be making progress.
As for our president; so far he has not defiled the office like some others before him. For that, I am thankful!
