Say What?????

So we now have GM being run by "experts" appointed by the Obama administration essentially. Well Mr. Wagoner, we hate to say we told ya' so but...... Ford had the right idea and deserves to have every American support their decision to fix their own problems and remain largely untethered from governmental intrustion into private markets. What I can say is that President Obama has shown complete disdain for free enterprise once again. When we look at the world around us we can see the glorious results of government run auto companies. I can not wait to get my hands on the "green" fuel efficient version of the YUGO. That's a very exciting idea that all of us should swoon over because the government "knows" what is best.
I for one, will be buying a Ford next as my way of supporting their moxie.
The most disturbing part of the press conference was Obama's statement that we need to reduce our dependence on "foreign oil.". I don't think even Conservatives would disagree on this one. However, Obama himself has hamstrung our efforts to do just that by rescinding Bush's executive order to open Federal Lands to exploration. The $147 barrel of oil completely collapsed at the very prospect of us doing this simple, logical act that would untether us from foregin dependency. Obama believes that the solution is not in greater supply but in tighter regulation and governmental control. So, he is going to design the kinds of cars HE thinks GM should produce, and they will. People will NOT buy them because gasoline is still the cheapest and best source of energy and it's cheap because it's plentiful not scarce. What he failed to mention in his speech is that the cars now sitting unbought on car dealership lots are Hybrids and Prius. This is because American's are greedy, gluttonous and obnoxious and don't care about the planet. Therefore it is up to the "experts" to force us into complaince. People deride those of us who fear socialist tendencies in the Obama administration but it looks eerily like Jonah Goldberg's Liberal Fascists are starting their march from Detroit and will be working their way into many corners of our lives.
That should make us all very, very scared indeed. The people aren't the problem....government is the problem. There is no scandal in the private sector that comes close to the waste, fraud and abuse that happens in government....NONE. The is no more dastardly idea today than the one that says a concentrated number of elites knows best what is good for the rest of us.
