Hat Tip to Weazel Zippers

The words of Ron Bloom, Obama’s “Manufacturing Czar”, speaking at an Investing Forum in February 2008 about the union’s role in backruptcy and restructuring:

“Generally speaking we get the joke.  We know that the free market is nonsense, we know that the whole point is to game the system…we know this is largely about power; that it’s an adults only no-limit game.  We kinda agree with Mao, that power comes largely from the barrel of a gun, and we get it, that if you want a friend, you should get a dog.”

Yeah, that’s pretty much Obama’s philosophy too.
