EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson told NPR’s Michelle Norris yesterday:
“The President has said, and I couldn’t agree more, that what this
country needs is a one single national road map that tells automakers
who are trying to become solvent again what kind of car it is they
need to be designing and building for the American people.” Norris
then asked: “Is that the role of Government though? That doesn’t sound
like free enterprise.” Jackson responded: “Well it is free enterprise
in a way.”

Interesting that a Google search for that quote only shows hits from the
right wing sites, like the Heritage Foundation. NPR didn't show a hit.

I spent way too much time on what appears to be more misleading right
wing out of context quotes.

Let's say it is an actual quote. Is it free enterprise, even a little,
for a private company to ask the government for a bail out?

No, it's not, "even a little bit."

Try a google search for part of the quote and see if you can come up
with a hit other than the usual right wing nut cases.
