Chancellor Barack Obama heads the United Socialist States of America ... Maybe he can “fire” some of the lib TV commentators.
To: Scanian
The board of GM was elected to do this job - not Obama.
This is government intervention at the most frightening level.
O wonder if Obama will fire Rick Williams oif NC doesn’t get the championship.
He already threatened him, didn’t he?

Fascist economics: You can have a "private" business, operating in the "free market" and if the CEO annoys the government, the government will fire that CEO and replace him with someone more willing to follow the dictates of the Central Planning Committee.
Taxes can be aimed at specific industries (tobacco taxes just went up) or at individuals who work for specific companies (AIG bonuses). Don't get out of line, or you will pay. Likewise, companies that are pleasing to the Central planning Committee will receive taxpayer funds in vast quantities.
Our economic system is pure Fascism now. Businessmen who still feel like they are in charge of their business are fooling themselves. The government is simply choosing to let you feel that way. For now.

It's a little bit creepy when Presidents take on American business people rather than the country's enemy's. I wonder when Obama and his goons are going to take on the citizens of this country? Or is that what this move is?
Here's how Hitler's Germans did it - the first groups they took down weren't that popular anyhow - and by the time they got to "you" there was no one left to defend. I assume this man's not that popular - he's an easy target. What will be the excuse for the next takedown?

Well, America, do you hear the step drawing closer?
Listen VERY carefully, they will get LOUDER, soon.

If David Broder of the Washington Post hasn't found his knee pads yet, he needs to look into this...

Maybe he can fire some of the lib TV commentators. Ummmm, he'll go after conservatives - not liberals. They've already moved against Rush and their doing a "backdoor" trash on Glen Beck.

Unfrickenreal. GM’s problem is that it is controlled by union goons. I hope Waggoner speaks out about this.

Frightening, to say the least. A government that has no qualms about meddling in private corporations will have no compunction against even more meddling in the lives and affairs of the people.
It’s time to take back the country.
