Off Road and Out Of Bounds

Last Thursday, in a speech near Toledo, Mitt Romney told the crowd that Chrysler would soon be sending their Jeep manufacturing jobs (currently based in Ohio) to China.

Chrysler quickly came out in the press, labeling these claims as "inaccurate" and "clearly misleading". The Obama campaign has just launched this television ad to set the record straight.





In response, a Romney spokesman explained: "The larger point that the Governor made is that rather than creating jobs here, the foreign owner, handpicked by President Obama, is planning to add jobs overseas."

Look closely at what he said. "Add jobs overseas", not "Send jobs overseas"

Jeep vehicles that are built in China, are sold to the Chinese people. This pick up in Chinese production merely suggests that Jeep is once again showing strength, and competing in a once abandoned market.

As a past Jeep Wrangler owner ... and as a future Jeep Wrangler owner ... I would like to remind Mitt how great the Jeep vehicles are for traversing mountains of bullshit.

Duality

My Grandmother E-mailed me this story.



An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life.

"A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy.

"It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.

"One is evil --- he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego."

"The other is good --- he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith."

"This same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person too."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"

The old Cherokee simply replied,

"The one we feed."


I think most of us feed them both.
