Again, thank the LORD in Heaven we have Barack Obama at the helm and not John McCain or the last Prez., this one doesn't want to oversee failure like the past President!

Failure is inevitable and you are under the delusion the government actually has power to stop it.

He's been President 4 months, GM is another enduring chapter of the Bush legacy.

Another marker of the Bush years, domestic economic ruin. Read this part slowly: 2008 saw the most job losses of any year since 1945

Obama can now operate with the excuse "he is protecting the taxpayers interest" whilst having them build the cars he feels we should drive.
Of course the trons will buy it.

It didn't take long for the Obamatron heuristic algorithm processing units to operate with the default output: blame Bush!

And in FOUR months he's managed to "save" GM and then bankrupt it.. I'll give you one thing.. thats a record.

You also seem to not understand the difference between the Bush loan, and Obama, who DIRECTLY is responsible now for the bankrupting of GM. He took ownership, he took control, he took EQUITY, HE IS RESPONSIBLE for this failure..

There is plenty of blame to go around from both parties. If you don't see that, you've fallen into the trap the politicos want you in. look beyond party lines.

So you're not much better than the people who blamed all Bush's woes on Clinton. Once again, it is both parties causing the problems. our government is not being run by and for the people anymore. by continuing to blame one party over the other, you continue to ignore the man behind the curtain.

GM on the brink - bankruptcy filing expected - May. 31, 2009

In Soviet America, car builds you!
GM got itself into the bind they are in, I have ZERO sympathy for their plight. So, now they are going to have to reorganize and show a viable plan of restructure, suprise surprise that is how ALL bankruptcy settlements work. the government gave them truck loads of our money and has a vested interest at this point, in the long run the government will step aside, watch. I will be sure to point back to these rediculous threads when that happens, how do you prefer your crow?

I'm actually listening to him, are you? If not, educate yourself by doing so. I dont blindly excuse anyone, including Obama, but right now the American people are investing in General Motors.

Am I supposed to somehow believe in rescuing crooked bankers like Pres. Bush did, but not believe in rescuing hard working Americans and an American manufacturing icon? Why would I want GM to fail? Why would anyone?

Republicans would, I know, but they have no problem wasting hundreds of billions killing people in the Middle East. Make sense?

Please.

Me neither, which is why they should have filed bankruptcy six months ago..
