What else would he say? LOL!
Thats great for everyone, they must be building a product that they can sell profitably. I'm glad some companies that received govt money are, and repaying the loan. There have been many, too many, others that have failed and taken our money with them.
If I remember correctly, Iaccoca did the same thing with Chrysler back in 1983, to the tune of $350 mil.
Yep here it is http://uspolitics.about.com/od/econo...lerBailout.htm

You know, you should try thinking for yourself sometime. You might enjoy it.

you should try reading sometime..
bush passed the legislation, the loan application was processed when bush was in office, Obie had just taken office when the DOE handed Fiskar the $$, he honestly had nothing to do with Fiskar, just like Fact check said and youre too dense to comprehend.
Obamatic Obamatron yada yada yada .... you should get some new material old man, your senile side is showing.

Well, once again it appears that bullshit seems to reign supreme in a thread. Perhaps there is a legitimate reason the link from the OP was DELETED rather than archived from the website. Given the fact that the only authors I can find on that website are one individual, and "editor", perhaps the article which was cut and pasted is a lie? One has to wonder.

Yeah but it doesn't. It's an electric car with about as much power as an Oreck Vacuum Cleaner.

In the age of NDAA and CISPA, you immediately think what was posted must have been a lie, since it was deleted. What does that say about what remains on the internet?

No, the act was signed into law by President Carter on January 7, 1980. It provided $1.5 billion in bailout funds for Chrysler Corporation. Ronnie collected it in 83.

Bullshit reigns supreme? Really?
How about from The AP then, that old bastion of conservative journalism?

I believe the thread is about Fisker. So why do you bring an article about TESLA? Don't recall any mention of them here.
