In October, GMAC changed its legal status so that it would be eligible for TARP funds passed by Congress. Late last month, GMAC was approved to receive a $5 billion lifeline from the U.S. government. However, the company is still maintaining its sponsorship of a collegiate bowl game set for Jan. 6 in Mobile, Ala.

Hey, this stylish government takeover worked for the U.S.S.R. didn't it, why wouldn't it work for the U.S.A.?

What was your 2007 personal federal income tax liability? Did you receive and cash a federal govt. stimulus check?

Nothing personal, I'm just curious how pristine those who are doing all the carping are.

It’s right in line with the way some of us at a local level get to pay dramatically higher property taxes to build these stupid stadiums for privately-owned football teams. Isn’t access to sporting events guaranteed under the U.S. Constitution?

GMAC changed its legal status...

At one time GM was free and twisted governments arm via their production as a company promoting freedom.

During WWII another option wasn't available to maintain sovereignty as a nation.

Today, government dictates.....

And how much did Citigroup agree to pay for the naming rights to the Mets new stadium? And how many billions did they get from the Feds? What about Citizens bank and the Phillies? Bank of America? M&T Bank?

I saw this on FOX this afternoon.

They're all crooks and the government We (or somebody) elected is complicit.

Most people won't even know this because they don't watch FOX or lurk on FR.

It’s also kind of funny to read the PGA schedule and see how many tour sponsors may need to be “rescued”:

Bob Hope Chrysler Classic
Buick Invitational
FBR Open
Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard
Puerto Rico Open presented by Banco Popular
Zurich Classic of New Orleans
Wachovia Championship
The Memorial Tournament presented by Morgan Stanley
Travelers Championship
Buick Open
U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee
RBC Canadian Open
The Barclays
Deutsche Bank Championship
