Go back and look at how Mussolini co-opted industry in Italy prior to WWII. Obama is following the same plan, only using American phrases to describe it. If it works on the auto industry look for it to be followed elsewhere. Whether or not Obama has studied Mussolini explicitly doesn’t really matter. He’s following the play book almost perfectly.
