Oh, be assured, I understand that the ultimate achievement for The Marxist Onada is to impose a soviet style dictatorship on America. When you subscribe to a philosphy of I’m absolutely right and you will do what I say or else, that can only lead to totalitarianism.

I disagree that The Messiah wants GM to fail. On the contrary, I think he genuinely believes that he can save it. In doing so, he lays further groundwork for Americans accepting the nationalization of everything. And then we descend into the negative spiral of five and ten year government plans that never work.

This is the same government that can’t even manage its budget today.

It seems to me that the only way that GM can be “successful” with the government managing it, is if it is the only choice the citizens are allowed. The government would make tariffs on imports prohibitively expensive and eventually it will set its sights on Ford. Government regulation and restrictions will overwhelm Ford. I read that Obama made a speech yesterday about “turning in” older car models, so that the US wouldn't even have the option of Cuba with the vintage automobile.
I believe that you are correct in believing that Obama really does believe that he is capable of making GM successful. He seems to believe that he alone is exceptional in an otherwise unexceptional country.
General Motors has long been a bugaboo of the left, therefore, I think that he was conditioned long ago to regard it as representative of the inherent evil of American idealism and that is why I think he would want it to fail. I think that he believes that it has already fallen. We will be calling the former GM a new name in the coming months....it will be replaced with something more progressive, perhaps another BO initialed moniker.
