Under some pressure to repay his idolization with some progressive action, Sen. Barak Obama has made a proposal that has caught many by surprise but could make some good things happen: he suggests that the government could help carmakers with their health care costs in exchange for their improving fleet fuel standards -- the carrot instead of the stick, and it addresses two important issues. Typically wiley for Obama The Innovator, and yet Potentially Progressive in impact. Verrry interesting. Will be intriguing to see where this one goes.
