Your motor industry needs you, Gordon

Not in Russia where the country is effectively run by a gang of Robbie Coltrane-style Bond villains or in China where the national product is pollution and certainly not in the gravy-sodden corridors of the EEC express.
However, I have been heard to mutter that we have now heard enough about Obama's ethnic background. November 4 was about electing the most powerful politician in the world not celebrating some milestone in diversity, important though that was. Eventually it was going to happen as will the election of a woman to the White House. So long as it is Marge Simpson.
Now at last Barack is getting down and dirty, making help for the US car industry a high priority. He has urged gormless George to hang fire on saddling up Trigger and back a call for £33bn in aid to US car manufacturers.
Gordon are you watching?
Like it or not we live in a world car economy. Steam trains and oxen just won't cut it anymore.
And neither will pandering to a tee-pee full of swivel-eyed rainbow beards pleading for the welfare of nicotine-coloured polar bears.
All on the back of the false god 'it's global warmin' innit?'
If things carry on down this road the only emissions we will have to worry about are those caused by people burning their DFS furniture to keep warm.
Quite properly, history may show, the biggest bankers in this whole circus have been handed some relief. And darling Darling is ready to spend his way out of recession.
That is something we would all like to help with. The trouble is, with 1,000 jobs a day gurgling down the plughole, there is less money to spend.
Now is not the time for absurd 'green' taxes on cars. Taxes, in fact, that are nothing more than the politics of envy cowering behind a privet hedge of environmentalism.
Let's get fuel duty down now and end unfair 'gas guzzler' road taxes that are doing about as much to reverse any climate change there may be as me giving up smoked bacon.
People need to feel that they can afford to change their cars.
We need our motor industry jobs. Have a word with the new boy in Washington, send help now, Gordon.
