Is Barry Obama the Hugo Chavez of US politics?

While I agree that Barry is an idiot socialist, I must say that he has outperformed King Bush on this one. He is telling those Big Three monoliths that it's time to get their Chapter 11 filings ready. What remains to be seen, of course, is how much pain he demands be extracted from his benefactors at the UAW. My gut tells me that he will try to sneak something in to make sure those boys get to preserve the status quo.
