I suspect what’s going on here takes us to who the real Obama is.
It’s not particularly the economy; he’s appointed “safe” caretakers; it’s not foreign policy or the war–more centrist caretakers. No, what makes our Savior tick is the fact that even the Oval Office isn’t grand enough. He wants to be the leader, morally at least, of the planet. To do this it’s necessary to make the USA a good citizen of the earth, which means setting an example of responsible energy use to the world . What better place to start than by making to our broken car industry an offer they can’t refuse, which is a bailout in exchange for obedience to the Department of Energy and its vision for our glorious future? “Detroit! Front and Center! All cars will now be made out of bamboo and they will run on bird-wind! Understand?” (Big 3 in chorus): Yessuh,
The run of the mill democrat politicians may not fully understand this divine mission; they’re just happy that the UAW can stay in business. Whether they’re making gas hogs or tofu fume sippers, who cares?
So the environmentalists are happy; the rust belt is happy; the Dem party is one big happy family; the USA is taught its place; Obama is God. What’s not to like here?
