31 Year-old Responsible for GM Bankruptcy

This is downright scary - and shows just how clueless the Obama administration is about the economy.

It is not every 31-year-old who, in a first government job, finds himself dismantling General Motors and rewriting the rules of American capitalism.

But that, in short, is the job description for Brian Deese, a not-quite graduate of Yale Law School who had never set foot in an automotive assembly plant until he took on his nearly unseen role in remaking the American automotive industry.

...“There was a time between Nov. 4 and mid-February when I was the only full-time member of the auto task force,” Mr. Deese, a special assistant to the president for economic policy, acknowledged recently as he hurried between his desk at the White House and the Treasury building next door. “It was a little scary.”

Uggh. No wonder the Chinese are laughing at Geithner and the Pravda is talking about the U.S. falling quickly into Marxism.
