So you expect large auto companies to do what the president tells them  
to do?

The failure to plan for the future rests squarely with boards of  
directors. The "plan" can only be to exert governmental controls, such  
as required fleet average fuel mileage. That requires more than a  
president who with his advisors sees the right thing; it requires a DC  
Whorehouse that has some cojones.

Vote against the incumbent.
