President Barack "Mr. Goodwrench" Obama at your service. Apparently, you and I are now providing warranties on GM and Chrysler cars and trucks. I have one thing to say, give me a stinkin break!
Oh, and how exactly did this whole decision to fire the CEO of GM, Rick Wagoner, come about. Now our president is firing the heads of companies? And isn't one reaction to think, "well, if Rick Wagoner deserves to go, let's get rid of those Wall Street creeps who put us into this tailspin". Warning, that thinking is a trap! Under no circumstances do we want any branch of our government dictating who our private sector hires. Just think of how quickly out of control this could get. It would be just like the slippery slope of bailouts we are currently sliding on.
Many of these Wall Street guys disgust me, but that is no reason for the federal government to begin a command and control economic policy. I have absolutely no reason to believe that the government will pick corporate leaders better than the private sector. Seriously, are you kidding me?
The bottom line for me is that everyday that goes by without Ford taking bailout money makes me want to buy a new Ford. Go Ford go! The free market needs you to succeed.
