And Cheney doesn't? Christ, nobody is complaining because Cheney wants to make some money, or invest well. Cheney is a criminal because of what he did. He outed an American spy in retaliation, then he actively tried to cover it up. He championed our invasion and occupation of a foreign country that was not a threat to us.

You can't point to anything in Gore's actions that are similar. Cheney is a monster, pure and simple. Al Gore is a passionate defender of our environment. The fact that you pretend not to see the difference says a lot more about you than you realize.

Cheney is long gone..he got away with whatever he could.
Nothing you can do about it now.
Time to move on.

Gore a passionate defender ???? You have got to be kidding. Go do some research on Gore and follow the money.

Report: Fisker Secures $500M Loan From U.S Government to Build Affordable Plug-In Hybrids : Auto News
Fisker Automotive is a US company based in Irvine, California. They have a current model, the Karma, which is assembled in Finland. I've read that 65% of its parts are manufactured in the USA.

Their next planned model, the NINA, is supposed to be manufactured in the USA.
