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.

Oh, be assured, I understand that the ultimate achievement for The Marxist Onada is to impose a soviet style dictatorship on America. When you subscribe to a philosphy of I’m absolutely right and you will do what I say or else, that can only lead to totalitarianism.
I disagree that The Messiah wants GM to fail. On the contrary, I think he genuinely believes that he can save it. In doing so, he lays further groundwork for Americans accepting the nationalization of everything. And then we descend into the negative spiral of five and ten year government plans that never work.
This is the same government that can’t even manage its budget today.
