GM just killed off the Chevy Volt. They plan to focus more on building more big cars and giant pickup trucks....

Not surprisingly, an utterly biased comment from Planty. Obama has no need for any car. He, like virtually all ex-Presidents, doesn't drive. The Secret Service drives them in custom armored vehicles. They have to because people make hate-filled comments that are sometimes acted upon.
As for GM, they made a point of advertising that they are going to focus on what sells now and especially on electric vehicles going forward, moving to self-driving cars.
Plantagentet skipped all that so it could just throw more barbs. Not very constructive or honest, that. Not sure how people live like that.
Now, que Planty who will find a way to warp all of this.

How is it an "Obama bash" to note that GM cancelled the Bolt today?
The biggest automaker in the USA just cancelled their signature EV....thats a big deal...why don't you understand that its a significant event?
Yes, Obama and others made a big fuss about the Volt. And now the Volt is dead.
Those are the facts, dude. ......
Cheers!

Trump cares about jobs, not the Volt. This is a guy who wants to bring back coal, after all.
