Has anyone else noticed the schizophrenia of the government regulations on cars. At the same time they are demanding ridiculous and arbitrary CAFE standard, they are also demanding very difficult safety standards that are forcing cars to become heavier, and heavier, and heavier.

Obama was asked that same question by a woman at a speech/rally about a month ago. His response was to make fun of her, and then basically told her she could eat cake.

That's the point. Run them out of business so they will be "forced" to bail them out. Then they are in control.
Remember the quote: "if it moves, tax it, if it keeps moving, regulate it, if it stops moving, subsidize it." That is EXACTLY what happened to the auto industry.
