TV News Media LIED again about Cash 4 Clunkers Buying sales AHEAD

Ok, I heard more than 40 times that Cash 4 Clunkers would buy ahead sales creating a neverending slump going forward, yet here we have this 4% and 3% gain in sales at Ford/GM.. So what gives? Here's what gives.. GM and Ford are designing and building fantastic vehicles and communicating much more effectively their messages on TV! Here is my message to Ford and GM: keep working on your ad strategy. Keep working on layers and layers of strategy. Work the problem. Blow up your competition. Own THEIR themes. Don't back down from a fight. And as soon as you can.. really truly put product out there that they can't catch.

Good for Ford. Hopefully their sales keep rising and the consumers will continue to support them for turning down the taxpayer "handouts". Unlike the other two automakers that have stolen from the taxpayers in the form of "loans" that the Government admits it never expects the "loans" to never be repayed.
