From Detroit writer Henry Payne in the Wall Street Journal:
Outgoing car czar Steve Rattner insisted recently that “We are not going to micromanage or get involved in day to day decisions” at GM. Americans can take him at his word. That is, assuming they overlook Washington’s tight grip on a bankruptcy process in which the UAW demanded that the company make a green car in the U.S. that is designed to meet Washington-mandated mileage standards in a plant that makes Washington-favored cars so that GM can get billions in Washington-issued funds.
