obama at 100 days and hilo joe intro

damn you nina. lets get that out of the way.  but if nina is going to the trouble of travelling to detroit and setting up this site for me, it would only be polite to use it in the best detroit factory rat style.

so what can you expect from hilo joe?  wry observations, odd flights of fancy, early 70′ stoner lyrics and generally whatever pops into my mind why driving around on my trusty steed “queenie ll”  besides, i get tired of thinking about women all the time and yes, i cleaned up the women part.

for the subject at hand, the first 100 days.  this is one of those “milestones”  the media uses to kill time and trees.  the current situation we’re told, happens every 100 years and yet we continue, we nattering nabobs of negativism.

great film clips, nice family, tremendous photo ops, all the right things to say and do and totally reminiscent of that old saying, “you gotta be sincere and once you learn to fake that you’ll be ok”.  but what really has been accomplished?

heard of any legislation lately?  here in detroit the situation continues to decay quickly and daily.  next monday our plant, which builds for two world class products, the cadillac cts and the chevrolet malibu, will be down to one shift on the malibu side and off for three weeks on the cadillac side.  and as we know, on the cadillac side, the rich will always be with us.

detroit is the ground zero of the world economic crisis and usually leads the country out of any downturn but we don’t see that in this instance.  and now gm has basically closed the doors till mid july.

here in detroit we’ve seen nothing. nothing. and if obama can  somehow stimulate the rest of the country to the point where they feel capable of buying cars, then they’ll build a statue of him, chisel down his nose and wash him with a hose.

and though we sang his name

we all went hungry just the same
