The unions bought Barry, and he'd better stay bought, if he know what's good for him...

It is time to fire Barry.

There will be no financial recovery until he is out of office.

Right off the bat this article is biased against Obama and makes a huge error. Obama’s closest brush with a real job was making cones at 31 Flavors as a teen.

It was the greatest contribution to society he has ever made, and will ever make.

Tuesday was the deadline (set last December as part of the $17 billion bailout deal) for GM's submission of a restructuring plan to keep GM going, but that plan never really materialized because its key element - cutting costs by cutting workers, closing plants and reducing union pensions - were opposed by Gettelfinger and the UAW. Now, unless GM can (under government management, and what are the chances of that?) turn things around in the next 60 days, the company will do what Romney and plenty of other people in the real world - that would be the private sector - recommended: take bankruptcy. Bankruptcy, of course, will now result in cutting workers, closing plants and reducing union pensions. The $17 billion is gone, Wagoner is gone, but Gettelfinger remains. So does the community organizer's double standard.

It should be no surprise that it happened in this manner. People with common sense predicted this outcome. Giving money to continue a failing business would likely result in continued failure. It was a plain stupid idea to not implement Romney's recommendation. Now we are deeper in debt without a prayer's chance of ever recovering lost taxpayer dollars.

What is next? Just think of the most stupid option or options. The disordered minds of our government will most likely implement those options with our money.

Want to fire the leader of a corrupt, debt-bloated bureaucracy with no clear strategy to profitability?

Fire Obama!

Well, and let’s not forget what a scandal erupted when Bush fired a few US Attorneys who “serve at the pleasure of the President”...
