The Obama Administration gave $529 million in loans to a car company in Finland that made $100,000 automobiles.

Now the company is in financial trouble and the cars are burning down garages.
Oh… And the company is linked to Al Gore.

Fisker Karma – Another Obama Green Energy Success Story

Fisker Karma has not built a car since July.
Reuters reported:

Fisker Automotive, the green-car company that has not built a car since July, has hired law firm Kirkland & Ellis to advise it on a possible bankruptcy filing, a person close to the matter said on Thursday.

Kirkland’s Anup Sathy, a bankruptcy lawyer who handled the Chapter 11 filings of General Growth Properties and Innkeepers USA Trust, is advising the U.S. automaker, the source said, declining to be named because the matter is not public.

Neither Kirkland & Ellis nor Sathy were immediately available to comment.

Fisker, which furloughed its more than 200 U.S. workers this week to conserve cash, has been exploring bankruptcy as an option while it continues to look for a strategic partner, two other sources briefed on the matter said late on Wednesday.

A Fisker spokesman declined to comment on Thursday.

Next month, Fisker must make a payment on a U.S. Department of Energy loan that was extended to the company in 2009 as part of an Obama administration program to spur advanced vehicle development. Fisker declined to divulge the amount of the loan payment, which is due April 22.

Fisker had drawn down $193 million of its $529 million federal loan before U.S. officials froze the credit line.

Sorry, this isn’t an April Fools joke… Except that the Obama Administration were fools to think this was a good investment.

The nice thing about being a statist or a Leftist is that RESULTS don't matter. Only INTENTIONS matter.

And in this case, they probably intend to someday, maybe, perhaps, get around to building another car.
