Will Obama get anything right?

How long before Obama actually learns about something before putting his 'facts' in his very demonstrative speeches?  He looks good, he speaks well, he must be right....

He laid blame at the American auto industry’s feet.

“We have to be honest about how we arrived at this point,” he thundered. Then he dishonestly explained that, “while foreign competitors were investing in more fuel efficient technology for their vehicles, American automakers were spending their time investing in bigger, faster cars.”

That would be news to foreign competitors. In fact, Japanese carmakers have penetrated the U.S. market in the last 30 years by selling consumers what they want: quality, and big, sedans and trucks. In 1985, for example, 96 percent of the nearly one million cars Toyota sold were small cars. Today, at 2.5 million in sales, only 28 percent of its fleet is small vehicles, while 20 percent are light trucks. Meanwhile, General Motors leads the industry with 23 different models that get over 30 miles per gallon — hardly the resistance to reform that, the senator says, “could’ve saved the industry.”
