Wow really?. Where do the documents say Romney ran Bain after 1999? Oh yeah contemporaneous news reports reported he took a leave of absence from Bain. But like their cousins the birthers, the Bainers don't believe it. What a collection of kooks.

You're right. McCain would have let GM go belly up and you would have another 3+ million people out of work. We would probably be in another Great Depression instead of working our way out of the Bush Recession.

The alternate scenario is that the pressure of the job would have done McCain in and president Palin would have declared war on China, Russia, and Canada and resigned to spend time with her family. If they would put up with her, that is.

More left wing lies.. McCain also supported GM bailouts

Michelle Malkin » Obama and McCain both support $25 billion automaker bailout

And the economic collapse ended before Obama spent a dime.

Ummm you do realize GM went bankrupt right?

What would have happened is that GM would have gone bankrupt, but the company would not ave been handed over to the unions, and the tax payers would not be on he hook for a ton of money.


In any event it is silly to even ask the question. Because Obama presided over tremendous unemployment, huge debt and serious pain to the middle class. Obama's gotta go.

Reorganization and liquidation are two different things.

Yeah, thanks I'm aware of that. GM went chapter 11, it would have gone chapter11 without Obama. Obama happened to pick winners (unions) and losers (bond holders) on our dime.

Then why do you pretend they are the same when attacking Republicans?

My Chinese friends have no problem in understanding how you retire but remain in complete command of the entity you retired from. Chinese leaders always retire and then become so called senior leaders who make policy and do this until the day they die. China's current President Hu Jintao does not take a dump without clearing it with Jiang Zemin who Mr Hu took over from 6 years ago. The new guy now coming in Mr Xi will have to clear what he does with both Jiang and Hu. Mr Jiang and Mr Hu will have no official position or party position but this is all irrelevant. They exercise a veto and can treminate a Chinese leader who trys to ignore them.
