Obama; make up your darn mind!

I really don't understand Pres. Obama. On one hand, he's going to give money to help the big three survive. On the other hand, it looks like he's going to let California rape them on emission standards.

I understand wanting to help curb emissions and help the environment, but can't we wait till the economy and industry stabilize? You don't hook a patient suffering from blood loss to an IV, then ask them if they would like to donate plasma to the red cross. Bleed them when they're well! Sheesh.

Just look at the news:

GM cuts 10,000 white collar employees.
Nissan cuts 20,000 jobs, assumes loss.
Toyota sees worst loss since 1950.

Yeah, that definitely sounds like a healthy industry, doesn't it?
