I tend to disagree. This administration is a creature of polls. The poll numbers are squarely against any more government/taxpayer bailouts for companies. The Bamster blew is wad STS with the GM/Chrysler bailouts. The UAW called in a few markers. I don't think the airline unions have that much clout.

The poll numbers on government health care and cap and trade are going south too. I really don't see them further risking those bills by bailing/taking over more industries.

Of course, I could be wrong...
