What the fuck did you expect? You people voted for a Socialist.

He didn't fire him anyway. He asked him to resign and the CEO did without even putting up a fight. He could have told Obama to shove it, but he didn't. He just left.

Because he fucked up GM. Would you rather the auto companies take the money you spend and wipe their asses with it? Or put it into R&D for newer, better cars? This isn't socialism, its just some minor regulation. Capitalism fails when the CEOs just take money and dont give a fuck about the product anymore.

LOL. You make it seem like GM is going to become some glorious company now. They will still continue to wipe their asses with their bailout money and the Unions will still continue to get absurd wages and still the product will suffer. Crystler was bailed out before and look, they are getting bailed out again.

This won't change anything. Your hope and change is something that happened already, didn't work, yet they are trying to do it again, and they will get the same results.

The problem isn't only the CEOs. Sure, the Management likes to line their wallets, but so does the Union Auto Workers. As long as the UAW is there, these companies will continue to fail.

I can Hope. Obama told me to.

ok the ceo was still a majr problem, dedicating tons of money to the production of trucks that were bigger than some houses, i do not see his as a socialist, because the US people have given the company aout 18 billion dollars and they are just failing at life the leader of our country has a right to ask something. he is not dictating policy for the company but just was probably like WTF man you fucked up this company you probably dont have a clue what the american people want. and obama was like, hey i know what the american people want. cars that arnt the size of the house i was born in. sry but /rant. give the man a chance, i mean we gave bush 8 years of chances

[wannabejeep]

I just like when they gave those big mortgage companies all that money. And then they went and gave huge bonuses to high level employees and sent them on an all expenses paid spa on the west coast for like a week.

Yes, the CEOs are a major problem and they should lose their jobs, but not by the Government saying so. The problem with our taxes is we don't get to choose where they get funneled into and I don't think we should just accept the fact that our money went into bailing out these companies AGAIN. Capitolism still needs to reign here and the companies need to flat out go bankrupt and fold, and let other people with a new work force pick up the pieces. Yeah, WTF he did fuck up the company, and now HE should pay for it. Not me, not you, and Obama shouldn't stand in front of a goddamn audience and say that The American People and the Government are gonna bail you out. It is time for these motherfuckers to PAY for their fuckups, not US. Not the rest of the goddamn United States. That is the socialism that is pulled over every ones eyes and everyone just accepts it.

And what the fuck is this Bullshit??

OH SWEET. Now Obama said that the American People now get to pay for the Warranties when GM and Chrysler can't.

In a move to bolster consumer confidence, the White House and the U.S. Treasury Department have announced a new program that guarantees the warranty of every new GM and Chrysler car and truck sold during the companies' restructuring efforts, even if one or both of the companies becomes unable to honor warranty claims during that period.

SWEET. I LOVE THIS SHIT. The Economy is failing faster then when Bush was president and NOW THE AMERICAN PEOPLE GET TO PAY FOR THE WARRANTIES WHEN THE COMPANIES CANT.

But don't worry, we have hope and change.

In order to help assuage consumer fears about buying cars from these companies as they restructure, the government is also setting aside funds to back up warranties on vehicles GM and Chrysler sell.
