That is your opinion. Others here think that the politics *are* relevant to the Volt.

I agree there are politics wrapped up with the Volt. But please explain to me how the false belief that the president wasn't born in Hawaii has anything to do with this car?

uh oh! Fox news just reported a problem with some Ford Vehicles, and oh gasp, they used a picture of a FORD Escape Hybrid. But wait, I only thought they were against Obama's car. Hmm, a news organization reporting problems with car. What a concept.

But is the Fox Ford report filled with misleading statements and outright lies?

Are they claiming that everything wrong with the Escape Hybrid is President Obama's fault?

I do not support the "birther" argument, but I am willing to listen to reasoned discourse, and I do think that this topic has at least a little relevancy in a thread discussing the Volt's place in today's politically-charged environment.
