Okay this ought to draw out some of you.....

What in the name of sam hill does this neophyte think he is doing????

The president of the US FIRED a corporate executive.......

Not that the guy didn't deserve it, but heaven help us.......this man is crazy....

Doesn't he understand how to use "diplomacy" .....uh I think that was his mantra during the elections....

Boy, this is "change" we can live with...

He has overstepped his authority since day one.......this can't last forever.
He is not our KING....he is an elected official.....and I for one can't wait to be rid of him......

This is going to come back on him in a big way. Everyone knows that the unions are primarly Democratic. When GM and Chrysler go under from this idiotic move and tens of thousand union members loose their jobs. When they can no longer pay taxes and contribute to the SS system and place a draw on unemployment........

He is brash, and an ego maniac. He will continue to snub Europe and Asia and cater more and more to the Islamic nations.

I though I had seenh the height of egotism in Bill and Hilery but they were chump change compaired to this guy.

I made the statement to my friend the other day... "wouldn't you hate to be the person that comes after him...boy the messes you would have to fix..." She said the person that follows him will probably be worse than him...

He is what professionals call a "pathological narrcissist". He just can't get enough of himself on TV or where ever.....He has to create a buz about him.

You are so right in your assesment of the fall out of all this stuff.

GM and Chrysler are doomed under this absurd administration.....

I have never heard such idiocy in my life.

Dr. Ron · Postby **Dr. Ron** » March 30th, 2009, 7:24 am

Whoever follows this idiot will have a great presidency....anything he does right will be a welcome change.

Not yet 100 days, and he has wrecked this country......God help us.

I am going out and spend some money while it still has "In God we trust" on it.....

When I read that headline yesterday evening, I just sat slackjawed for a moment. If this was the Post Office or Fannie Mae, that's one thing. This is an entirely private company. Oh, but wait .... TARP. Now it is GI, right? Okay. Well, if that's the way America wants it.

GM = Government Motors

Just imagine all the new entitlement programs. If you are unemployed you get a free house as long as you can prove you are unemployed.

I guess now you will get a free car or suv if you can prove you don't have a new car.

I know that sounds ridiculous.. but I never thought you could get a free house either.

Makes me think of the story in the Bible where the people were starving and whining for food. God sent manna - literally, bread FROM HEAVEN no less, and then they whined for meat. God said something to the effect of, "You want meat? I'll give you so much meat that you'll be puking it out your nose."

Now, for all who cried "Change! Change!" - better grab your barf bags because before this administration is through with the lot of us we're all going to be hurling to kingdom come.

Think I'll write a new song: "Change, Change, Change.... Change of Fools."

Yeah, if he still has a country left to preside over. I'm beginning to wonder.

His predecessor will be called KING!

I want to know why the ex CEO of GM bothered to clean out his desk. I would have held a press conference myself and proclaimed loud and clear that Obama has zero authority to fire me if I were the CEO. I would have called his bluff for sure. What a wuss!

America may own a large portion of GM through this ridiculous bail out junk (that Bush did behind the back of Congress) but no one man (BO) can speak for the millions of us that own GM. Let us go to the polls and vote on who we want to be the CEO. Now there's a thought!

One more step closer to Socialism!

socialism

An economic system in which the production and distribution of goods are controlled substantially by the government rather than by private enterprise, and in which cooperation rather than competition guides economic activity. There are many varieties of socialism. Some socialists tolerate capitalism, as long as the government maintains the dominant influence over the economy; others insist on an abolition of private enterprise. All communists are socialists, but not all socialists are communists.

The government does not have to own business, it only needs to control it. President Obama is a socialist!

Reagan did it first by bailing out Chrysler...even if they did have a good plan and it did work...

Now Bush Jr has gone and done it again...but O'bama is taking the heat for it.

Here is what...

If our Government had decided to not bail out AIG or GM or anyone out there I can promise you that plenty of investors who have a lot to lose by those companies going bankrupt would fix things in a big big hurry.

The Government shouldn't bail out Big Business when it refuses to bail out the common man with medical and credit card debt. (absolute dissolvement of all debts is pretty much gone these days...only refinance is available)

So...since everyone seems to be acting as if none of the founding principles this nation was built upon are valid any longer...how much longer can this nation stand?

John,

I am not blaming President Obama for the bailout of the auto industry. I am blaming him for forcing the CEO of a private company into resigning. that far exceeds the lawful power of our government. To make the additional bailout funds contingent upon his resignation is blackmail. Obama said that GM and Chrysler's plans were not enough, that they had not streamlined themselves to be competive. Yet with the resignation of GM's CEO they get the money anyway. This is governmental excess in the highest degree, pure Socialism.

I don't agree. I think President Obama is doing an excellent job. I love him. Long Live King Obama.

Rahab....I almost died when I saw your post.....then I looked all the way down to the bottom....

Whew......don't wait that long again ....

The reason GM head left quietly is the severance package will do nicely in Cayman Islands......or Switzerland....

I would take the offer too.....it's kinda like the Brando movie.....I' gonna make you a offer you can't refuse...."
