Important questions

Now that the government is in the process of bailing out GM and helping them through the bankruptcy process, finally people are starting to ask the important questions. Namely: how fast can I politicize this? Lamar Alexander was first out of the gate.
"Skeptics say that despite the government's pledge to stay out of the way, the process is going to get messy.

'I think where GM builds its next plant is going to be more of a political decision than a business decision," said Rep. Pete Hoekstra, a Republican from western Michigan. "For the foreseeable future, these car companies will be run by the Obama administration, and it will not be arm's length.'"
That's right, with GM set to shutter 12 to 20 factories, Lamar is already worried about where the next factory is going to be built. Not only that, but he's worried that where to place this fictional new factory in some far flung future has already been irrevocably politicized by the Obama Administration. That son of a bitch Barack might not even want to build plants in Lamar's home state of Tennessee. He'll probably politicize things further by building these fictional plants in places like Michigan or even Detroit.

I had high hopes for Obama, but it turns out he's just like every other Democrat: recklessly politicizing the imaginary fantasies of Republican lawmakers.
