Forget about the polls because this story is far from over.

The left has a marvelous capacity for hanging on to failure. Look how many years the commie commissars in the old CCCP held on to the hope that one more five-year plan would turn things around. Cuba and N. Korea are basket cases. Every South American that has embraced the left is either economically broke or has ultimately rejected it. And then there’s China. The Chinese communist government is a dead government walking. Now that free enterprise is alive and well there, the commissars are discovering it is easier to go with the flow than return to the bad old Mao days. That does not mean that China does not have national security concerns and aspirations that will conflict with its neighbors, America and some Europeon countries. I predict that the soviet style commie government will ultimately fade way.

So, back to GM. The Marxist Onada and his crowd, playing to type, have glommed on to a loser—GM. I predict The Messiah will hang on to that sinking ship until it finally turns keel up and joins the Titanic.

Not understanding a thing about how a real market economy works, Onada thinks that consumers will buy GM cars—even as it struggles with bankruptcy and closes dealerships. But the other car companies are going to smell blood in the water. I predict they will price GM right out of the market. Especially, if GM turns to producing so-called “green” cars that are not needed and nobody wants. And especially if our new car tycoons—Onada, Pelosi, Reid and the unions—try to run the show.

I think that you make some very good points. Even Russia has bad things to say about the seventy years of Soviet rule these days, but the pesky problem is that quest for power creates the need for more power in the minds of men. Mugabe and Kim are modern, living examples of absolute power trying to control every aspect of the lives of the citizen from food to sanitation to education.
I, unfortunately, see Obama (and whoever benefits from his position) wanting power in the manner of Mugabe and Kim with plenty of resentment and bitterness also fueling the quest for more and more power. It is an extremely dangerous mix.
I understand your point about Obama perhaps believing that people will continue to buy GM cars. They bought him, afterall, why shouldn't they buy what he promotes? I don't think that he cares. In fact, I think that he ultimately just wants to ruin GM, but it isn't politically expedient to do it so blatantly. Now, he is able to say that he tried to help them, but there was nothing to be able to be done in the end to save them. Obama looks like he put up a fight, but he gets what he wants in the end, which is the demise of GM.
