Ok, here is the humble opinion of a foreigner...
Obama is good for this country's profile. He is something that this country needs if you want to reestablish good faith from the rest of the world.
Interesting comment. So, it must be necessary to take a world tour and apologize for America. Hmm, you can understand why this might strike some of us here as not being a good thing.
This program (CARS) sounds good, yet it affects the economy and is coming from the government. Is this bad? Not necessarily... But I guess socialism (even in the very light form Obama applies it) should be forbidden, even taken out of our vocabulary. On the other hand the unconstrained capitalism was so good that its unwanted results that everyone is going through now are negligible...
You make some very interesting and unsubstantiated claims here. One is that the program sounds good. Perhaps to you, yet many on both sides of the political spectrum here in the US believe it is an utter waste of money that the government is having to borrow in order to fund.
That is the essential issue many of us have with most of what Obama is doing. He is spending like a drunken sailor and he is spending money he does not have and will not have in the future. Where I come from, we don't think that is a GOOD thing!
Do a search in this forum for "Bush" and one for "Obama", you'll see what I mean...
Oh you mean we might have a particular leaning here? No surprise there. Most of us work for a living and resent having our money wasted. 
Nevertheless, what makes Porsche owners appropriate judges of administration programs that are meant to help the poorer? Is it that we drive efficient, domestic cars and we care about the environment? I don't think so...
This program to help the "poorer" helped my millionaire cousin buy here new Lexus. Hmmm, what makes me think I can have an opinon about that?
PS-I "care" about the environment but what does that really mean?
I guess Porsche owners belong in the high income portion of this country's population. Most of them may well be republicans, not liking a democrat president anyway... But don't turn this forum into a political combat...
This lounge is for this kind of interchange. No one is compelled to enter and we enjoy a good back and forth.
