Where Liberty Dwells, there is my country

I was shocked when I read this artcile this morning.

The first memorandum will order the Transportation Department to work out rules for automakers to improve fuel economy. It will call for the department to notify automakers by March 2009 to increase their fuel efficiency for 2011 model year cars and trucks.

The second memorandum will order the Environmental Protection Agency to reconsider California’s request for a waiver from the Clean Air Act — a move that would allow California, the nation’s most populous state, to set tougher tailpipe emission standards than apply nationally.

AND MORE

Obama is also expected to order new guidelines on fuel economy. The law requires that by 2020, new cars and trucks meet a standard of 35 miles per gallon, a 40 percent increase over the status quo. The Bush administration did not set regulations in support of that law.

I am beginning to believe that Obama really does think he is the Messiah.  There really is no other rational explanation for these actions.  Now that the U.S. government is officially running the auto industry, what next?  Hmm… perhaps the airlines will be next since they burn fuel and Obama is the savior of the environment.  What a joke.
