You know what is going to happen....they are going to install F.O.B. in there...
From a man who never ran a business or made a budget.
Chrysler CEO Robert Nardelli (L-R) and Ford Motor Company President and CEO Alan Mulally take their seats to testify about a proposed government bailout plan for the US auto industry at a hearing of the House Financial Services Committee on Capitol Hill in Washington, December 5, 2008.

Friends of Barack.....like his leadership corps the Wall Street Journal reported on.....all black.
OBAMA, THE STOCK MARKET, AND ENERGY
All the more reason to work our hardest to try and influence the GOP Senators, who do retain the filibuster, to develop some manhood and patriotism and stand in the way of it wherever they can.
I don’t care what Obama thinks, but I do care what Freepers think: do you all think the auto industry’s problems are primarily due to the unions pricing the product out of competitiveness or because these corporations have poor leadership? I’m beginning to think they are twin faces of a common reality: I keep running into more and more young managers who only want to work 40 hours a week, enjoy a six week vacation, and who care less and less about the bottom line, provided their salary and benefit demands are met. What think ye all?
Obama goes after the auto exec’s but what about the union bosses that DEMANDED a contract the company couldn’t afford? Not a word on that I guess.
But noooooooo, the treasonous slimebags are running our Nation and planning to put other people in prison?
Unbelievable!!! Just unbelievable!!!!!!!
Yes, if you drive a major corporation into the ground, you should lose your job.
Heck, I don’t see how throwing money at the problem is going to fix it. They must be allowed to fail, so that they will downsize, and come back smaller, stronger and more efficient.
Plus, their workers making obscene amounts of money due to unions doesn’t help, either.
“I think he has to move on,” Dodd said, noting that GM was in the worst shape of Detroit’s automakers. “I think you’ve got to consider new leadership.”
What kind of Bizarro World are we living in where Chris Dodd says people should be fired for incompetence?? Dodd is the single biggest factor for the economic woes in this country and should be in federal prison by now.
Why would the Auto Executives sign a labor contract that they knew they could not afford?
Reminds me of a little computer humor back in the day.
What do you get when you cross an auto executive with a vampire?

He has to stop this sort of thing, or he will not make it past the first year.
He has still not shown any proof of payments on the sweetheart loan (gift) from Countrywide.
As opposed to Congress, which applies a persistent "head-in-the @$$ approach" to long-festering problems.
So should most members of the house of “representatives”.
Now, the biggest problem the auto industry faces ~ the arrogance of its automobile sales managers.
We've all met them. Their counterparts on the production side have been running these companies into the ground for the last 5 decades.
No doubt Obama got to see some of their Congressional testimony ~ on a smoke break most likely ~ a very long smoke break in fact. And all at once it inescapably occurred to him, just like it did to virtually every Freeper, all the union guys, the folks with stores, school teachers, housewives, teenagers with drivers licenses, grandparents, uncles, aunts and maybe even a few RINOs, "I've met those guys ~ they tried to sell me a different car than the one I wanted or could afford".
I doubt you need to run a business to recognize who the top guys at the BIG THREE are. You don't need to know much about budgets to get that sinking feeling that these guys are trying to screw you again.
