bluelund79 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Not a real funny joke when he just ousted the head of GM. While the vehicle industry does need some tweaking, taking the head of a private corporation out of a job from a presidential decision is scary....

IowaDeerHunter Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 I was kinda surprised people actually thought it was real.......then thought to myself, nothing like this would surprise me anymore with Obama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was kinda surprised people actually thought it was real.......then thought to myself, nothing like this would surprise me anymore with Obama. Really I could see where Obama could do something like this, especially after making decisions for private business as pointed out above. The way this article was worded, it sure looked as if it could have been real. I put nothing past the Obama admin and the liberals in control. Some folks might have thought giving billions of taxpayer dollars to failing banks, while they were/are paying ridiculous bonuses, might have been a joke too. Don't know if their subs will suffer or not, but a joke in very poor judgement/taste on the part of car and driver imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They send financial aid to big privately owned corporations and then tell them who to fire, who to hire and how they're going to dance. This is how Socialism has crept into the very heart of America and her politics. There's a storm brewin' boys and it ain't nature by any means!

Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think it's funny that all these people fell for it!!!!!! Um Hello, it's April Fools Day!!!!! DUH!!!!!!!!!!! I think it's pretty funny as well. I didn't even need to read it to realize it was an april fools joke. I also find it pretty sad that even after finding out it is a joke some people just can't laugh it off. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kat Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 would you laugh at a joke about 9/11??? I didn't think so....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 (edited) would you laugh at a joke about 9/11??? I didn't think so....... Are you really comparing Nascar with a terrorist act that killed nearly 3000 innocent people???:confused: Edited April 2, 2009 by Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kat Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 I'm using it as a reference about whats going on in the country. 9/11 was no joke, neither are stories of the government taking more control of public affairs. People hate obama bad enough, they don't need to stir things up with articles like this. It's a joke yes, but due to whats going on in the country now, it isn't far fetched to think something like that would happen. So my point on the 9/11 deal is it's simply not something to joke about.

Gator Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 It's just funny how some are SO QUICK to believe this. Had yesterday NOT been April 1st, yeah, I probably would have believed it, but since it was the first, I was VERY VERY skeptic about it, ESPECIALLY after I looked on NASCARS web sight and didn't see anything.

The_Kat Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Jason, this article came out before april fools. Also if you read the article it said Nascar was keeping tight lipped on the issue until they could figure out what avenue to address the issue with. I agree, I too thought it was a joke at first. It was april fools....duh! But Obama just made the CEO of GM step down, and with them taking bailout money I wouldn't put it past Obama to make them pull out of Nascar. I ain't the only one who was PO'd obviously, because they pulled the article and submitted an official apology. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
