Since we now own an auto company will it be considered “patriotic” to boycott all the other non-government owned companies?

I think it would be patriotic not to boycott the non-government companies. GM will be a drain on the taxpayers for years to come. The only way GM survives is if the Obama administration passes laws that require us to buy its cars.
That is a possibility.

Watch for new attempts by the UAW to unionize the Japanese plants in the US.

No. The federal tyrants will simply put a punitive tax on any auto that is not owned by them.

Look for pop culture to start talking about the only true car “born in America” and condemning the greed of all those other private companies.

Maybe Tina Fey, the idiot actress with no talent, can do some spot ads for the new GM.

I wonder if the thug-in-chief will figure out a way to intimidate consumers into buying a Government Motors product instead of a Ford?

Do ya think all the Liberal types will suddenly stop buying their Japanese cars just to be “patriotic”? Fat chance.

Yes, because it is not the American Government any more. We cannot reward bad behavior, nor collaborate with a conqueror.
