remarkable that that monthly sale from gm represents 40,% of the entire fleet sold. some would say three or four years ago that was not possible. yet because industry stepped up to the plate, along with the leadership of the president getting them to do what they should have been doing a long time ago, we now are producing vehicles in this country that are much more energy efficient. so this world that ideal with every day, sometimes testifying in front of committees of the house or senate, and even testifying or giving speeches to industry groups or energy groups, gas group, set set cetee live in what i call the world of fairy tales, for me my days in the senator as well as the secretary of interior and being a key member of the president's energy team, we've tried to center our work around the real energy world. we've tried to focus on those things that we know we can do that reflect what it is that the american people want us, as their leaders to do, and i believe that when you take an honest look at the achievements over now almost four years, you'll actually see

i am astounded at the number of times we talk about the gm bailout as the governor mentioned here as well. that was a bankruptcy process. it was just tightly controlled by the federal government with a lot of new bankruptcy rules put into it. many of us fly delta air lines or currently american airlines who is currently going through bankruptcy. there is the perception if gm went through bankruptcy we would no longer have dealers or manufacturing because it would all go away. when i get on an american airlines flight later this afternoon currently going through bankruptcy. this has been a constitutional responsibility of this body for a very long time. you go back to the preferences of how we pick and choose, what's our favorite group and how are we going to help them and not help another one. there wasn't a rush to help american airlines. it was just a rush to go to other groups. another one is the venture capital. there's an entrepreneur in oklahoma city who created an incredible product, has made a ton of money off of it and is spending a lot of his time now helping companies get
