Power to the People, We Own GM!

Woohoo. Prez Obama said today that he will order the Federal Government to order a fleet of new GM cars. Normally, there is a competitive bidding process for these things where companies that supply the federal government have to respond to a request for proposal and submit an offer along with others. No longer. With a wave of his hand Obama has done away with trivialities.

This really stink for Ford by the way. They are American, last I checked, and now they have to compete against a subsidized company even as they're suffering in this economy like everybody else. Well, there's always unintended consequences to socialism. But, as the great Russian Lenin once said before he rounded up and executed the middle class in Moscow, if you want to make an omelet you gotta break some eggs.
