Cash for Clunkers has made Obama "the best President that Japan has ever had."

The Department of Transportation reports that the ten leading trade-ins are all American branded cars while six of the top ten new cars purchased - and four of the top five - are foreign. So the United States Senate is about to pass additional funds to subsidize the trade-in of American cars and the purchase of foreign cars.

I'm not surprised. People want a car company they're sure will last for a while.

Obama's the president of America AND Japan?! Holy Crap! *headdesk* Nice that while our economy is going further into debt, we're helping someone else's.

At least this helps us a tiny bit, as there are still Americans working at those dealerships, and the foreign makes do have offices and assembly plants here, too. Have to look at the tiny bright side around the fail.

True, true! Honestly, if I were to take advantage of this, I'd buy a Toyota, so I can't blame people.
