25. What's the context?

It sounds stupid, but I can't believe he's that dumb.

Was the rest of the speech pushing for the idea that US carmakers shouldn't cede hybrid technology to Japan? That would make sense.

btw, I'd have to check, but I thought that although Toyota and Honda have plants here, the hybrids come from Japan.

About the union and Honda-- the UAW has been trying to get into Honda for years, but Honda keeps giving a pay and benefit package almost as good, maybe better in some cases, than the UAW can get for them, so it's a loss for the UAW, but not really for the employees.
