...the phenomenon in which presidents fire private-sector CEOs a “brave new world.”

♫ Everything old is new again! ♫

The word for this old "new world" phenomenon is fascism.

Look it up.

FEAR is the reason, and other than Rush and a few others, who else is telling Bama and Company they have no power or authority to STEAL with a passionate wantonness. The Bama and Company mentality has been indoctrinated into the minds of the majority of American through the perfect vehicle called public education.

Good to see dolt Mika Brzezinski is cool with this, as long as the tyranny isn’t limited to the automakers — because that would be unfair, or something.

Hey, GE’s stock price has plunged, and it has taken over $100 billion in government loan guarantees. Maybe Obama should fire Olbermann, Matthews, Maddow & Co.

This is the reason I went out a bought a new Tahoe. I heard 2 different people, say on TV, “now that GM has taken all this money we can tell them what kind of cars to make!”. I’ll drive it till it falls apart or I can’t get parts before I drive a smart car.
