"the law was a Bush action."
First, it wasn't a law, it's a rebate program. It's not written in the constitution that anyone who buys a green car gets a $7500 rebate. The feds decide if and when to offer those rebates.
Fact #1. The Obama administration chose to offer that rebate to those who buy Volts (it was part of the Stimulus package). It doesn't matter that Obama didn't invent the notion of a green rebate, the Volt rebate had its genesis in the Obama administration.
Fact #2. The average income of those who buy Volts is $175,000. Therefore, these are people who do not need a tax rebate to buy a car.
Fact #3. Obama likes to say that conservatives care about taking care of the rich.
In my opinion, when you are handing $7500 checks to families making more than $175,000, you forfeit your right to portray yourself as Robin Hood.
That's what I said, and there aren't any factual mistakes.
