Owning a Carmaker Too Socialist, Even for Sweden

While the US in barreling headlong into socialism under the "leadership" of The One, the most socialist of nations is acting more like our founders expected us to be:

Which makes it all the more wrenching that the Swedish government has responded to Saab’s desperate financial situation by saying, essentially, tough luck. Or, as the enterprise minister, Maud Olofsson, put it recently, “The Swedish state is not prepared to own car factories.”
When even Sweden says that a government can't run a car company, it makes one think why the US should. Sweden takes care of every citizen from cradle to grave through extreme socialist programs and have done so for several generations.

The IHT notes that Sweden has a "center right" government, which means they are somewhere in the area of Nancy Pelosi by Swedish standards as they the Times-owned paper tries to cover for Obama but the simple fact is the Swedish model that Obama subscribes to is saying no to nationalizing one of their key companies.

In America, the new administration is not only quite excited about their foray into nationalization--a view that makes Hugo Chavez look like a capitalist--but is looking to destroy another industry huge industry as well.

America after Obamanation will take years to pull out of the mess this guy has made in just three months.
