Obama's Auto Team Drives Imports

The Detroit News reports:
The vehicles owned by the Obama administration's auto team could reflect one reason why Detroit's Big Three automakers are in trouble: The list includes few new American cars.

Among the eight members named Friday to the Presidential Task Force on the Auto Industry and the 10 senior policy aides who will assist them in their work, two own American models. Add the Treasury Department's special adviser to the task force and the total jumps to three.
The auto bailout is all about subsidizing workers who makes cars people don't want but contribute money to the right politicians.
