Who'd a thunk it!

America is now in a weird space where one candidate for President is warning us of the influence of Satan and the state of Virginia (hm) is legislating a form of punitive medical rape for women considering the difficult but legal choice of abortion. And now I see this clip: the president of the US hosting an all star blues band with BB King and Mick Jagger, and belting out "Sweet Home Chicago." I thought that nothing could top the previous Obama rock video of this sort, Bob Dylan singing the Times Are A Changing. But take a look at this. If someone had previewed this clip for me when I was in college protesting the Nixon regime, I would have gone into shock. In a good way.

It almost makes me forgive Tim Geithner. Almost.

President Obama sings Sweet Home Chicago!

I have to say that I'm very skeptical that tesla would put out a battery that could be bricked in this way although anything is possible. Degusta is not necessarily someone I'd be willing to believe on a story like this without double checking.

I'll be very curious to see what my friend +John Voelcker learns from tesla and owners. If this is true it will severely damage +Tesla Motors reputation

Update Voelker has an update, Tesla acknowledges the need to keep the Roadster plugged in, although they have not acknowledged if customers have had to pony up for new batteries. http://www.greencarreports.com/news/1073289_tesla-battery-bricking-the-real-story-behind-the-post

Why should this guy have any more of a voice in how America or the world is run than any of us just because he got stupid rich from his casinos in Macau?
