Ah ah, gotcha. That comment was a response to DJ Raijin, who was talking about how the majority shareholders have the kind of influence that Obama is exercising.
As for being torn, you're right, it IS the government. Which is exactly why I think that it should not get involved in the private dealings of a civilian company. I don't really like the bailout idea in the first place, but if it HAS to be done, let the money be the only point of contact between the government and the private sector.
