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.

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.
