But a president also has to represent the system. He has to care about whether the setup is sustainable and ultimately meets a nation's needs and reflects its values. In delivering unlimited sway over the domestic auto makers to the greens and labor, Mr. Obama is creating a catastrophically unbalanced "system" with no effective pushback on behalf of profits (aka "viability") -- that is, except from consumers, who ultimately will doom his attempt. How so? By declining to pay enough for the forthcoming Obamamobiles to cover the cost of designing and building them. They are right about that: at the end of the day, that will be the test.

Not this year, next year or 6 years from now. We are in totally uncharted territory and the pundits are only guessers at this junction. So any tone of certainty must be really suspect.
