That’s not what I meant, but u take it any way u like.

They don’t agree with the bailout, but Obama doesn’t want GM advertising on talk radio. This was Wagoner’s cardinal sin in Obama’s view.

The Big 3 will not discuss the exact details of these job banks, citing they are not public information.

I'll bet it is now that your tax money is paying the thieving parasites.

Lawyers?

Should be titled, “Barack I-am-not-a-socialist Obama takes control of GM.”

Strangest thing. You appear to be correct. Coincidence?

Can’t speak for Hannity, but I heard Rush on more than one occasion directly trash the bailout while addressing GM’s sponsorship. I’m sure someone with 24/7 could reference it for you.
He specifically stated that sponsors do not dictate his programming or what he says. Thank God, because we need more like him with ba -double hockey stick-s on our side!

"...That’s not what I meant, but u take it any way u like."

I had an idea that's not what you meant. But, I decided to run with it anyway.

I do think you're right with respect to GM advertising with Limbaugh and Hannity. That can't please Barry (Wagoner's personal financial support of the GOP and it's candidates probably didn't help either). But, I still contend that GM bought the silence, or at least quieted the discontent of Limbaugh and Hannity, but especially Hannity.

For several days surrounding the first "bailout", Limbaugh was strangely silent. And, when he did finally speak directly about the GM bailout, he said (loosely quoted) "Folks, it's going to happen no matter what I say. Either Bush does it, or Obama will do it on Jan. 20th."

Hannity DID support the auto bailout and used some lame excuse about GM being in the position because of the "CAFE Standards". Hardly. I'm not a fan of the CAFE standards, but they have virtually nothing to do with why GM, Ford and Chrysler are in the position they're in.

Anyways, JMHO.

See my above response.

You're right to some extent, Limbaugh eventually did come out more forcefully against the bailout and he did address his sponsorship. But, he was a day late and little more than a dollar short.

Hannity, on the other hand, supported the bailout of GM and was painful, contorted and discomforting in excuse why.

They are OWNED by the share holders, not Bambi

As soon as GM accepted the first welfare payment, it became the government's female dog. I would be protesting up and down if the government interfered in a real private business in such a manner, but GM is not a private company anymore.

To quote Barry the Baptist in Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels "When you dance with the devil, you wait for the song to stop." GM, and every other company that took welfare, knew exactly what it was getting into when it got into bed with the government.

I’m not putting talk radio under the same microscope as D.C. Whether or not talk radio was asked to stay quiet is another matter entirely.

Personally, I’m a capitalist through and through. I thought it was a wise idea, considering talk radio’s audience is where the last patriots in America reside. I’m critical of Chrysler for not doing the same thing.

I’m torn on this. I’m a Dodge man, you see, and while I still think the ‘Cuda, Charger, Challenger, and Ram are the greatest, classiest vehicles ever made, I also realize the unions have destroyed America. It is a bittersweet topic for me.

I won’t buy another American vehicle ever again, because I want the unions to fail. Unfortunately, I have give up on a brand new ‘10 Challenger.
