Via RCP. What’s a proud American’s patriotic duty when it comes to helping GM rebound? We’re all owners now; a successful rebirth would doubtless be great for the economy. And yet I find myself feeling … resentful. Could it be because the company’s a black hole for taxpayer money? Could it be because the feds are hopelessly conflicted about how to manage it, from using it as a platform for their green religion to favoring it over companies like Ford that didn’t take bailout cash? Could it be because we’re barely into the age of state ownership of automakers and the evidence is already mounting that Obama’s acting like a partisan jackass? Or could it be because Gibbs is unable to answer a straightforward question about when, precisely, the government plans to return the company to private ownership?

Verdict: If I had to buy tomorrow, I’d buy Ford. What fiscal conservative wouldn’t?
