Five minutes of explanation to James Madison, and he’ll have a pretty good idea what a motorcar is (basically a steamboat on wheels; the internal combustion engine might take a few minutes more). Then try to explain to Madison how the Constitution he fathered allows the president to unilaterally guarantee the repair or replacement of every component of millions of such contraptions sold in the several states, and you will leave him slack-jawed.
In fact, we are now so deep into government intervention that constitutional objections are summarily swept aside. The last Treasury secretary brought the nine largest banks into his office and informed them that henceforth he was their partner. His successor is seeking the power to seize any financial institution at his own discretion.
Despite these astonishments, I remain more amused than alarmed. First, the notion of presidential car warranties strikes me as simply too bizarre, too comical, to mark the beginning of Yankee Peronism.
Second, there is every political incentive to make these interventions in the banks and autos temporary and circumscribed. For President Barack Obama, autos and banks are sideshows. Enormous sideshows, to be sure, but had the financial meltdown and the looming auto bankruptcies not been handed to him, he would hardly have gone seeking to be the nation’s car and credit czar.
Obama has far different ambitions. His goal is to rewrite the American social compact, to recast the relationship between government and citizen.

Obama and the people that control them, whoever they are (Soros comes to mind), want control over the people in general. What he is doing now is just a stepping stone. Just as the Tea Partys are just a stepping stone.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.
Pres. O bowed low to a Saudi King.
A US Citizen No-No.
LOL! Well put, that struck me, too. However, everything Bambi does wavers between being a clown show or the gate to the gulag.
The first tarp bill paulson wanted passed just about made the Treasury Sectary King, the second one wasn’t any better.

Zero would make Uncle Joe proud.
I’ve changed my nickname for him to -1bama.
And fund this vast new social safety net through the cash cow of a disguised carbon tax.
Sneaky little bastard this obamination is.
FOX ran a very funny parody about the Obama car warranty, last night. It was done by REASON. It was about getting your car fixed through the DMV.
” (O’s) goal is to rewrite the American social compact, to recast the relationship between government and citizen.”
He wishes to accelerate the completion of socialism which is, as Marx explained, fuels the transition from democracy to communism.
He is not alone and has for the moment a majority of the Congress with him.
The last line:
“Obama didn’t get elected to warranty your muffler. He’s here to warranty your life.”
