Political Humor: After The Election

The following  late night bits of humor are from Political Humor.

"In fact, starting today, Barack Obama is now going to receive the daily White House intelligence briefing on things like, you know, security and terrorism, stuff like that. It's the same briefing President Bush gets every day, but without the pictures and the color by numbers." --Jay Leno

"Barack Obama promised a new America in which the powerless will have a voice. So, he's already reaching out to Republicans." --Jay Leno

"Rumor is, still a lot of infighting within the McCain campaign, between the Palin people and the McCain people. Now, I don't know if that's true or not, but earlier today, Sarah Palin put McCain's campaign bus on eBay." --Jay Leno

"But Obama is busy putting together his presidential cabinet. McCain, John McCain, Senator McCain is putting together his medicine cabinet. Maalox, Metamucil, Polydent, on and on." --David Letterman

"Now, yesterday, President-elect Barack Obama -- we have to get used to saying that -- spent the day thanking the people who helped him win the election. That's right. Yeah, and actually, Obama's first phone call was to Sarah Palin. He sent her flowers." --Conan O'Brien

General Motors Losses Billions

  The American auto industry continues its downward plunge into nothingness once again today as GM announced that it had a third quarter loss of some $2.5 Billion due to tighter credit, an awful stock market and other conditions in the United States.

DetNews

The automaker also has halted talks to acquire rival Chrysler LLC and announced $5 billion in additional cuts, which included trimming its salaried work force, laying off hourly workers and slashing capital spending.

The GM announcement came hours after Ford Motor Co. reported a third-quarter loss of $129 million and announced plans to eliminate more salaried positions and cut other operations.

The financial news also comes one day after Detroit's Big Three automakers asked Congressional leaders for at least $25 billion in aid.

  Might I suggest that the Big Three make some cars that are actually worth driving? How about vehicles with better fuel economy?

   The fact that the Bush Administration is tossing our tax dollars to the auto industry along with the banks and brokerage firms should not sit well with you.
