In response to this, Mark Humphrey writes: Obama and his socialist cronies intend to impose their vision for our lives–a vision that emphasizes (together with other themes) “sustainable and green” state-directed enterprise. I’m sure you have a clear picture of what lies ahead: impractical and unsaleable electric cars, fantastic (and fantastically expensive) hybrid autos, a golf cart in every garage. Obama and his minions need the American auto manufacturers to implement this Shining Vision for our lives. An interesting point of view that I hadn’t considered. But even the might Federal government may have trouble keeping these Humpty Dumpties together.
