Energy Sec Rides Bike to Work

But what Stephen Chu doesn’t tell us when he assures Congress he doesn’t own a car is that his wife DOES (wonder who bought it). She drives a gas-guzzling BMW while he rides his bike to work to make a big show about how “energy conscious” he is. This is a typical Obama administration LIE by omission. This car was reported to get 18 MPG when it was new, and now is reported (by her husband’s agency) to get 21 MPG. Did he fiddle these figures to minimize the damage if we found out about his wife’s car? Probably. During his testimony before the Congress, he complimented the failing Chevy Volt, saying: “it’s a good car (then why doesn't he own one?).” Yeah, if you never go more than 40 miles at a time and don’t care about having it sit for 8 hours at a time to recharge. Oh: did I tell you that the government-owned General Motors has stopped making the Volt (they SAY “temporarily”) because of lack of viable sales numbers They blame Rush Limbaugh for that, forgetting that it has NEVER been a big seller because of its fantastically high price and VERY limited range. Who wants an electric car that costs $100,000.00 and will only go $40 miles between “feedings?” In any case, this is how they fool you, a little bit at a time. (The Daily Caller)
