I have to wonder if the White House and Senate opposition to a bailout for the automakers coupled with the suggestion that, instead, Congress repurpose the $25 billion they earlier appropriated to help Detroit retool for new technology does not reflect the core attitude of these folks and their oil company clients: "If you don't help us sell our product at the best possible price, then to Hell with you!"

If sanity be culturally normative, then by the norms of this culture I claim insanity.

Is that client relationship the right way around? (4.00 / 2)

Isn't it the oil companies and their political clients? The oil companies, after all, are where the policy creation skillset resides in the relationship.

With Bush at least it is a relationship of mutuality. The same for many senators.
