We are in deep doo-doo if this is the guy - who has no business experience - is in charge of the GM restructuring.

$10 says he can't drive a stickshift.

Maybe he sleeps at a Holiday Inn!

We were in deep doo-doo the instant we elected a guy with no executive experience and the most left-leaning member of the Senate to be in charge of the entire federal government. Having an inexperienced 31-year-old in charge of dismantling GM is merely a symptom of a far more grave problem.

I bet he saves 15% on auto insurance though.

YOU don't understand. (Supposedly) Good intentions are much more important than experience.

It is not every 31-year-old who, in a first government job, finds himself dismantling General Motors...

Well, considering the experience of our present POTUS, it doesn't surprise me.

He's the son of two New England academics. It's fair to say that he's never been in any business setting, let alone has he had any management experience. We don't even know if he's had a summer job.

You really can't make this up. Obama fired Rick Wagoner, to put this kid in charge of GM.

Yet another story of which I will ask....is this from Scrapplface or The Onion?

It's High School government day in Washington- every day for the next 4 years

Actually, I am rooting that this guy does end up making the right decisions. Will go to show that many of those smart intellectuals with the fancy degrees aren’t always the answer. Heck, it’s those type of people that have f*cked this country and ruined government. And your assessment of this guy is just like many said of Reagan. He’s no politician, he’s just a B movie star!

If you read the article, you learn very clearly that the so called car guys at GM were running the company into the ground and strung the gov along for billions of dollars claiming BK is not an option. Well, this kid knew it was and put a stop to the bleeding and the waste of billions of dollars (GM should have gone into BK long ago saving us billions of dollars).

I don’t want Obama to succeed and it might be too late to help either, but so far this kid has been right.

I, for one, hope he has success as he will prove that sometimes having too much experience is necessarily a good thing.

[SonnyBubba]

What? You guys don't trust Obama to choose the most qualified person he can find, based solely on his or her experience, to do the job of running GM?
Neither do I.

[Dr.Deth]

31, and still in school?

[spectre]

Well..Obama has a 27 year old speech writer named Jon Favreau who will explain to us what the GM restructuring is all about...via TOTUS that is.

A lawyer — GM is doomed.

This is going to fail spectacularly! It can end no other way.

You talking about the President?
