Hi Tim
Great statement. I think the rest is just as important.
From a comment on the Atlantic Business Channel :

I think it imperative to recognize that the president is not a practical man. He is an ideologue, as should be obvious from his insistence on pursuing his agenda no matter what the cost. "He will print money until the presses melt," is, I think, what Rahm Emmanuel said a week or two ago. Now that he has a car company, here is what he will do with it: He maintain control indirectly by placing his people on the board; he will probably remake the company into a producer of a green fleet that matches his ideas about energy and global climate change. Since very few people want such cars, the next challenge will be to get Congress to pass legislation mandating fuel efficiency and emissions standards that only the GM cars (and a few imports) can meet, thereby forcing the more successful, mostly Japanese, companies to retool in order to compete in the American market. It probably wont work, but this is how Obama thinks. COMMAND and CONTROL. He wants to control three things: Education (to indoctrinate children), Energy (to control not only the economy but the shape of society itself), and Health Care (so the government can decide who lives and who dies). His father was a Communist; his mother was a Communist. What did you expect? a Centrist? a Humanist? He is very consistent if you don't listen to what he says (except when he slips up), but pay attention to what he does."
