    The people, who asked not to be named because the announcement hasnt been made, didnt give a reason why Wagoner, 56, is leaving the job. Wagoner said March 19 that he didnt plan to resign.

    If there is any justice, the current UAW chief, Ron Gettelfinger, will also “retire” a year early (he has said he will retire in 2010), since he and earlier UAW chiefs have dealt GM an impossible hand.

    Did he leave the office in a hybrid?

 This goof has destroyed the most powerful auto company in the world. He was NEVER qualified to run GM. Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Wagoner!

    ...didnt give a reason why Wagoner, 56, is leaving the job.Somebody made him an offer he couldn't refuse?
Either that or Mr. Wagoner got wind of something wicked GM's way coming and decided to get the heck outta Dodge?
Glad I'm not a stockholder.

    One could count on one hand the number of GM Executives who have either resigned or were fired since WII.
This is the quintessential “Good ole boys” club, with the Taxpayer footing the bill.
