My car´s a hybrid. It burns gas and oil.

He is nutz!

What a buffoon. Apparently, he missed the ´fantastic results´ from the *first* boatload of taxpayer money he threw at ´electric cars´.

With abysmal results. Here´s a tip for our idiot-in-chief - when the tech is functional, private industry will get the job (you can´t manage) done. Until then, get your Pollyanna paws out of taxpayer pockets for the purpose of subsidizing your ´green fantasies´.

Simply put - you don´t have the brains to pull it off intelligently.

No problem. Go find us $4 billion in spending cuts. It might be possible to cut something out of NASA´s budget for Muslim outreach.

It can be done - but the coal bunker will be huge.

I´d like a little oil for lubrication.

What were his grades in Physics again, anyway?

Spends $1.5 Trillion a year we don´t have for four years without getting a budget approved. Now he asks permission for $2B over ten years? What planet does this guy live on?

To quote Senator Cruz - this guy is bat crap crazy.......

It took about 3000 (no typo) oak trees to make a seagoing hull. England, the Romans saw it as a land covered with oak trees, ran out of trees for fuel about 400 years ago. It was the shortage of trees for fuel than forced the English to turn to another source of fuel. It turned out to be coal... and coal, it turned out, was the foundation upon which the industrial revolution was built. Now we have abundant oil. If we follow the circumstances that started the industrial revolution, think of what we´ll come up with when we run out of oil. There´s a lot of difference in spending money on premature dreams and facing the necessity for doing something serious.

Butt we have beaucoup oil .. It´s the chicom debt we owe we can´t survive....

We have no money. He doesnt understand financial responsibility.

Open the Keystone pipeline ... Watch money roll in!

If Obama wasn´t a black Democrat, this comment and most of his other comments would be viewed as delusional, if not frightening. But like Maxine Waters, Sheila Jackson Lee, Charles Rangel and other members of the Congressional Black Caucus, his uninformed if not mad comments are simply reported by the AP, CNN and other news outlets.

The irony is that this fool flew a jet fuel guzzling 747 to Illinois to make these insane remarks about biofuels.

Algae farms today. Algae farms tomorrow. Algae farms forever.

What tax will make up for the lost 18.4 cents per gallon of gasoline the federal government gets, or the 69 cents per gallon of gasoline that California now collects.

Electric? Obama is forcing all of the coal generating plants to close.

I see those magic cars often. They are on railroad cars and are being shipped to dealers. Others are on large trucks on interstate highways.

The trains and trucks themselves use diesel fuel unless that has changed. Or do they also run on magic now?

Obama´ s only approach to problems seems to be forcing society to change into the one he would like to rule.. A huge plantation.

Commanding the sources of energy would help him do that. He is already close to controlling medical care.

It´s official: he is delusional, unintelligent , or both.

He has talked like this since his earliest campaign days in 2008 (and probably a lot earlier), he really *believes* that all he has to do is ask, and it shall be done. In science mostly, but also generally.

Too much Star Trek, not enough attending college classes, or high school for that matter.

How I long for an actual American to be our American president....

Please...anti-Americans (lefties) need not apply (anymore).

If an honest-to-god researcher came to Congress with this claim and this request, he would be grilled and research data supporting said claim would need to be presented.

Obama´s ´fantasies´ deserve no reply.

$ 2 billion for his friends and him to line their pockets.

Lol, yea right, and its gonna be a Fisker, yea that´s the ticket!

... Bat-crap crazy.

Yeah, that´s it. Perfect.

Now, where´s the bat-crap booster injection that turns him into plain old bat crap?

Around 1904, Henry Ford consulted w/the best scientific minds of his time, including Edison, about the feasibility of running cars via electricity. The verdict was NO; just as it is today. Please alert this imbecile.

The masts and sails on these new cars will have to be short enough to clear the existing highway over passes.

And pigs will soon be flying. Although that may not be so far fetched because donkeys already fly.

Two billion bucks for a project that industry would find on their own if left to it, and he can´t find eighteen thousand cabbages for a White House tour.

For the record, two billion bucks is two thousand million simoleons. Two billion smackers is a lot of clams.

See - - what you do is - - you go to the tippy top of the new World Trade Center building - - and you build this really, really long ramp - - and then you just let your electric golf cart coast all the way to the other coast.

No oil - - no gas - - and no brains!

He wants everyone to go back to the original ´horse´ power. But, won´t that create as much of a carbon footprint as cows? As an alternative he said recently to start using trains, buses or bikes. My guess is he would have mentioned skates but doesn´t have the balance to use inline skates.

"drive from ´coast to coast without a drop
of oil"

No big deal - you can do it now.

At 200 miles per charge and an overnight recharge - a 3000 mile trip will take 15 days.

At 600 miles per day a 3000 mile trip will take 5 days for a gas engine powered car.

$100 per night for a hotel room - that makes it $1000 cheaper for the trip with a gas engine. At 30mpg the car uses 100 gals for the 3000miles. At $4.00 per gallon= $400 a savings of 10 days and $600.

Yeah, electric is the answer.

What is the question?

The reason Leftism can never work as intended it that it is founded upon a fundamental misunderstanding of human beings and what makes them tick.

When there are bucks to be made from alternative energy sources, someone will be sure to make them. Gigantic Federal subsidies will not be required.

Until then, however, the bucks that are to be made come from the gigantic Federal subsidies themselves, for which no shortage of applicants and candidates will ever exist.

Human beings simply do not think and behave the way Leftists think and need for them to do in order for their grand plans to succeed. But there is something about Leftism itself that defeats any learning from experience. The unfortunate but completely predictable result is that failures generate only greater and more costly iterations of the same doomed strategy. The Leftist approach to public education is but one among many such examples. We are now seeing the same pattern played out in corrupt, wasteful and ineffective Federal attempts to short-circuit the market by "investments" in unprofitable businesses.

Choom Boy is consuming far too much weed and blow. It warps the mind and you come up with ideas like this one.

Hitler once promised the German people a car in every garage. I view this as a modern day promise of the same kind by a man with the same mentality.

Bo don´t know math.

$2 billion with a B, but we don´t have enough money for kids to tour the wh.

Even if it was a brilliant idea, and not a way to trade money with a donor, Americans are still unemployed or stretched too thin to buy a new car or a used car in some cases.

A fool and our money is soon parted.

Has this fool ever had a car? Run it? Maintained it? Put gas in it?

Or has he always been in a chauffeured vehicle with hot and cold minions at his beck and call?

He acts crazier by the minute...

Congress: "NO. HELL NO!"

I don´t think he realizes he´s describing a car that runs on magic.

Oxen, horses, mule,donkeys, sl dogd. Gimme my $2 Billion.

Luv it, #3.

If Obama´s buddies think this is such a great invention then let them fund it with their money, prove to us that it works with NO oil from California to New York and maybe they will have something to crow about...of course if each model is going to cost 200,000 then the market will be pretty narrow and the lines to buy one will be VERY short... we already funded Silendra and other harebrained ideas, what part of NO money does he not understand???

Lithium crystals! They are the answer! They can power a space ship, so why not cars? But what planet do we get them from? Ask captain Kirk; he will know.

I can´t get to Walmart and back in one of the terrific cars he´s given us to date.

I guess we´d better stock up on bananas for the Delorean. This guy is a first class screwball.

Meanwhile, Preezy can´t go anywhere without his 20 car gas guzzling motorcade.
His bundlers must be chomping at the bit for their monetary rewards .

He was hand picked for the job of destroying Anmerica from within because he is both bat crazy and ill educated. This is the ultimate manifestation of communist infection begun many decades ago - read about Whittaker Chabers if you need further proof.Whose tool is he? and why do we put up with him when our Constitution is so clear about bad presidents?

What Barry means is please give me $2B more for my bundlers and enablers. Congress should tell him to take a hike.

Already got them - as long as you don´t mind driving 40 miles, 8 hours for a recharge and another 40. If you leave now, you should be there by the end of April.

Yep the car made it on solar power...one rider, had to stop in cloudy weather, didn´t carry one small suitcase. Really practical bubba.

Why don´t you just admit this is a slush fund for your cronies?

When is someone going to have the guts to tell this charlatan NO?

This is unproven stuff way beyond our present technology and a waste of money at the present time.

Oh yeah! He´s delusional alright. How many times have we heard this doofus brag about his ´accomplishment´ of increasing fuel mileage to 57 per gal.? Of course the lofos think that because he ordered it 2025, it´s a done deal and he´s going to buy them one tomorrow. What a wickdeed.

This is idiocy. The simple fact is that the sun can never power an industrialized economy like ours because of a simple fact: the sun doesn´t shine all the time. It´s interrupted frequently by weather and nighttime. OK how about we store energy generated in daytime in batteries for nighttime. Well then you´ll need twice as many windmills and solar panels (so you´ll have to cover the oceans as well as most of the land with them) not to mention you´ll need really large capacity batteries of which there are none available in the near future.

If you want an electric car that can go coast to coast (or even as far as a gasoline powered car can go) you need that really large capacity battery again, only this time it has to fit in the trunk of a car and be quickly rechargeable.

While those batteries might be developed in the future, why does the taxpayer have to pay for it? Private companies will do it at no cost to the taxpayer when it becomes possible. Until then we have plenty of fossil fuel to last hundreds of years. The excuse has been that we have to save the planet from global warming caused by burning those fossil fuels. That has been shown to be wrong and probably a hoax. There´s no need to sacrifice the economy for a scam and a hoax.

Our tolerance for this fool is massive, and his hare brained schemes are all the destruction his communist bosses require.
Shut the f up you, stupid little man.

He predicts! he predicts! Isn´t it time someone puts the pillow over his face? If we can waste Hugo Chavez, why can´t we get rid of this ass-whole?

A wily politician duping useful idiots. The story of America.

I am 55 years old. There may very well be an alternative form of energy, but it has not yet been discovered, nor will it be developed in my lifetime. Until that time comes, I say drill baby drill.
