does it make sense to you that the federal government steps in and tries to run it? the the federal government take over cams.com and dictate to the company how it be run... approve and disapprove of plans and lay out some demands for products that cams.com and adultfriendfinder.com MUST produce in the future to be competitive? are they somehow qualified to over see its operations or make any decisions about what products fit their business model, much less are in demand by consumers?
that's not what competent management is. competent management is finding a great group of people and turning them loose to do their jobs. business people understand this. most liberal politicians don't.

I put this in my other post but will restate it here. I agree with you that politicians and elected officials are not the best options when it comes to running a company. Many of these people have no idea how to run a company and should not be doing so. As you say the best way to do it would be to get competent management in place and let them run the show.
That said if we are using the example of AFF it wouldn't be like Obama one morning woke up and decided to overtake AFF. AFF would have had to have gone to them and asked for money to keep their company afloat then the government would have to approve giving the money and would attach certain stipulations to that agreement. If AFF wants the money they have to agree to the stipulations. They would be free to turn the money down. Ford did and nobody is telling Ford what to do. I'm not saying that how the government may run some of these companies is correct, I'm just saying the companies can't all of a sudden be pissed. They took the money so they knew what they were getting into. It is kind of like if you meet a crazy chick and take her to bed. You know since she is a little sideways she is going to be great in bed, but in the morning she is still crazy and now you have to deal with that.
