Bush Tells GM and Ford to Make More Relevant Products

As the WSJ reports, the president refuses to consider a bailout for the struggling auto industry and recommends they make more relevant products - by which we can only assume he means more fuel-efficienct or alternative energy driven cars and trucks.

Sage advice from a president who has yet to take any real steps in raising fuel economy standards for cars and trucks and who has campaigned for more domestic oil production as a way of ending America’s foreign oil dependence. You’ll excuse GM, Ford and the American public if they think they are getting mixed messages from their president.
