National Pep Talk? You have to Be Joking

It seems that we have to hear more about how the Stimulus hasn't failed and other nonsense.

That tied into his news nugget of the day: the awarding of $2.4 billion in grants toward the production of electric and hybrid cars, part of the stimulus plan. Obama delivered the news in the border region of Indiana and Michigan — the two states benefiting the most.

Too bad these aren't tax incentives for Toyota to build a Prius plant in this 17% unemployment ravaged part of Indiana called Elkhart-Goshen. I mean these plants are dotted throughout the South and those states have nowhere near the unemployment of this part of Indiana. Tax incentives are a very powerful motivator.
