Yeah right...

But you do come across as an urban intellectual who utterly fails to understand how much cars mean to particularly the young working class men in the USA. Sorta like Obama--which is exactly why Biden was speaking to this issue instead of the incumbent. Biden is seen to be more popular with men--especially working class men and "Reagan democrats."

You also fail to mention that auto building is still a cornerstone of American manufacturing, even if it has lost some of its importance to computers and other electronics. American cars have been a source of pride to the nation for more than 100 years, and the foundation of 20th century prosperity. This IS something that Obama and Biden understan when they put through the bailoutd, although Romney--ironically, the son of a great car man--just doesn't get this.

BTW, Romney probably doesn't "get" car culture any more than Obama does. But his chauffeurs probably do.

Being anti-car will get you nowhere in American politics. We need to make carfree living and related isues a positive issue instead.
