Hey, put the hammer down gently there pal. And holster it. Your purchase of an American product is extremely relevant. It is exactly my point.

I am saying that most Americans haven't put into perspective, the scope of this takeover of GM by the White House. President OBAMA has promised a vague reassurance to American car buyers. You know, the ones who will decide his future by voting. He said nothing about foreign sales.

As to the car you have already purchased. That warrantee lies in the future of the company, be it GM or Chrysler. This because Obama did not garrantee that existing warrantee. For you or for us here in America. However, his clever timing and words did not exactly make that small little detail clear.

This was all an attempt to make us feel comfortable with his takeover of GM. As I said, a little sugar. It is BS or as we say here in the colonies, "Pure Pelosi"

The class warfare that has erupted has pitted US Blue collar union supporters against the US big business tychoons. This is not limited to USA markets or USA issues. This is a global issue.

We have lost sight of the total picture. This is a brutal attempt to nationalize core industries. If it reminds you of the 1920's depressions in Italy and Germany, you are either very old or well read.

More to the point, you are right.
