You wanted change you got it: GM CEO Richard Wagoner told to step down by White House

[byzantine catholic]

Like I said this is change all right and if you are a socialist this is change you can believe in for this direct assault on capitalism!:eek:

[avergbear]

Are you questioning our illustrious leader?

[CaptainCrunch]

It's about time we had a President who wasn't afraid of the Constitution to do what's right!

Obama was given a mandate by the American people for change, we have to support him now.

I totally support Obama and his policies, to do any thing less would just be plain Un-American!

Hopefully once he gets all of the guns off the street he can focus on recuperating all those tax dollars lost by writing off donations to religious organizations. Also I think it would behoove our government to tax the churches themselves; certainly that source of income could be utilized to save some of our nations newspapers! The government needs them to enlighten the people on whats best for them. By having the control of the press the government can squash such falsehoods as is distributed by unnamed conservatives who make a living on the radio, television, or through books which should be banned for the public's well-being!

Yeah, I would hope most people see this as the government pointing a gun at the head of the CEO of GM or else... and not 'change'.

You're (and people like you) the reason I own guns.

Even though this post is obvious satire, I'm pretty sure I heard this same speech about W many times from the GOP... and that wasn't satire.

That being said, if Obama essentially forcing out the CEO of GM isn't a sign of the government looking looking to take further control of the auto industry, I'm not sure what is.

[Broseph]

The post was a joke. Wow...

[Chuangtzu]

"But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boa****l, arrogant, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of god; holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth."

[avergbear]

It was for the poster, but for Obama and his supporters, it’s reality.

[Storm Horse]

Some of these posts are making me very nervous.

[Dacarlo]

Did Wagoner really fail the company?

This has more to do with increasing the scope of government and government interventionism at home than it does with men being lovers of self or lovers of money...

[Broseph]

You know the rules... and so do I.

[rt2box175]

This is nothing more than a president overstepping his constitutional powers. IMPEACH

[JustAnotherDave]

It only begins with GM. Geithner will get the power he & Obama have requested & will be able to control ANY company they see fit. These powers include breaking contracts, firing people AND completely dissolving said company if Obama & he fell it is the "right" thing to do.

I weep for America.

[joeschmoe]

MSNBC has a live poll to grade Obama's performance as President!

Source please? I wouldn't put it past Obama to do such a thing, but I just want to be sure.

[ModerateVoice]

The way things have gone in the first 70 days, I'm just waiting for Obama to declare elections no longer "necessary."

[Blemonds]

Like I said this is change all right and if you are a socialist this is change you can believe in for this direct assault on capitalism!:eek:Is this the first time in history that an American president fired a private citizen. Maybe not, but I certainly don't recall it happening before

[JustAnotherDave]

He's turning into our own Hugo Chavez. Now they want to bailout the newspapers, yep government owned newspapers coming your way.

[FidelisAdMortem]

I am really not comfortable with govt control like this into private business.

[Blemonds]

He's turning into our own Hugo Chavez. Now they want to bailout the newspapers, yep government owned newspapers coming your way.Bailing out newspapers is wrong. There should be a wall of separation between press and state

[Dacarlo]

Has GE taken any bailouts?

I got cold chills reading your post.

oye, double that! cold chills and a nervous tick. Best application of satire I've seen in a long while.

U.S. will guarantee GM, Chrysler warranties, Obama says
By NEIL ROLAND AND RICHARD TRUETT, AUTOMOTIVE NEWS

In a bid to boost flagging auto sales, the federal government will pay for any warranty repairs on a General Motors or Chrysler vehicle if either company can't because of financial problems or a bankruptcy filing, President Barack Obama said on Monday.

"Let me say this as plainly as I can. If you buy a car from Chrysler or General Motors, you will be able to get your car serviced and repaired just like always," Obama said in a speech. "Your warranty will be safe. In fact, it will be safer than it has ever been. Because starting today, the United States will stand behind your warranty."

I wish she'd come back though. After posting that I'd like to know if she is ok. She may still be in shock.

So what you are saying, is that as soon as 51% of the people may oppose Obama's policy, you will gladly do whatever is needed to stop him, without fearing the Constitution.

Since the majority is the mandate.

Man, what a mindless thing to say. Bush began the bailout process for both the banks and the auto manufacturers. Man, are you REALLY that uninformed?

[nunyadb]

Jack, again, it's not a matter of it being done so much as the level it's being
done at.
The nation as a whole does not produce in a full year the amount of money
that Obama has now given out.

He's up to 13 Trillion dollars and climbing.
Our entire nation only produce 14 Trillion last year.
The interest alone on that level of debt is over 850 Billion dollars per year.
No nation has that kind of money.
Especially one that is in an economic downturn cycle.

keep the faith, and I hope you're right and I'm wrong, but economics
tells me that it cannot work.
And it will destroy the nation trying to do it.

[jackrichmond100]

Bush started the process of handing out money to banks and auto manufacturers. These CEOs have proven to be incompetent in our beloved capitalistic system. Out they go. We, the taxpayers, now "OWN" those entities. Amd as far as I am concerned, Obama, our fearless leader, can fire all the executives! Let THEM know what it feels like to lose their jobs!

Be a thoughtful patriot of your country, not a mindless dittohead of some "politcal party."

[jackrichmond100]

Well, NO one else has a better idea of what to do. Not even the Republicans. The Republican's lame idea the other day was to give the rich ANOTHER tax cut!!!!!!
My gawd, it was Bush's repeated (3 or 4) 1.6 trillion tax cuts he gave the rich that put us in this mess...along with the war debt piled on top of it.

Until there is a better idea, we have to go with it.

Crony capitalism also contributed heavily to this mess. Look it up on Wikipedia. Good informative reading.

Bush started it?

What?

You have heard of FDR right? FDR donated the paltry sum of 900K to a company called FOMOCO, that would be Ford Motor Company in 1936.

Who started it?

And remember, Ford is currently aggressively pushing for Obama's wants, with the 2011 Fiesta, using "Agents of Change" to push for the 2-seat microcar in the US. Naturally, they will be driven by liberal youth activists trying to push America into microcars. No government money yet, but they have government agenda and Obama-style tactics.

Gee, thanks for informing us of that important fact. That's so relevant to the subject at hand. :rolleyes: Now, tell us which CEO Bush asked to resign, and which function of any company he guaranteed the American people would be continued under the auspices of the US government?
