SocraticGadfly: Why is Obama cutting automakers some slack on CAFÉ?

March 27, 2009

Why is Obama cutting automakers some slack on CAFÉ?

First, the facts. He is cutting them some slack on fuel economy standards as compared to the Bush Administration.

It’s not much, but it’s there.

As for the “only two months to prepare rules”? Sorry, not buying. All you had to do is tweak the already-existing Bush proposals. If this is because of Big Three financial issues, all you have to do is say that this is the case.

A simple explanation.
