Dear Mary: We were glad to lose 10.5 billion dollars knowing that you would be at the helm soon....like real soon.
Please feel free to tap us anytime. America is always looking for a sucker bet.

Appointed by the Union stockholder board members?
If putting an Affirmative Action Hire in charge is good for America, it’s good for General Motors.
No, wait, I think I got that wrong....
In my opinion Ms. Barra has paid enough dues at the company, that we should take her leadership seriously.
Welcome. The government is now out of the auto industry.
Buy American.
Another GM lifer who did nothing to stop the bleeding. At least like Carla Fiornia when she ran HP into the ground, GM will get fawning press coverage.
If you count sales,the CEO should be Chinese!
Her undergrad is in electrical engineering, not business, a very good sign.
Wish her well. Being in a elevated and high level position is hard for anyone. Everybody wants your seat and will do anything to get it. It will be tough for her from the Left, because she’s married, to a man. That won’t set well with them. Lefties prefer women of power to be single lesbians. They find women who are married to men, and especially if they have children, to be third class citizens not worthy of any recognition
Good Luck, Mary.
There are two storied being floated around in the media about the 10 billion dollars we Americans lost or gained due to the GM bailout. Her first test for me will be which story she embraces.
This has Obozo’s fingerprints all over it. They just sold the last of the GM stock at a huge loss. We can now look forward to the Hewlett-Packarding of GM. No that I give a damn about GM in the first place. .......
On the whole female CEO’s are more a harbinger of doom for a company than a signal of growth. Typically they’ve been given “special” treatment all the way up on their career and so when they finally arrive at the top they really can’t cut it. There have been a few that have made good CEO’s (Meg Whitman of Ebay come to mind) but for the most part it seems they really don’t have very good management sense and tend to end up being the final nail in the coffin for many businesses.
Hey mary... after a lifetime of GM cars and trucks... I am on the verge of ordering a Ford F150... and I hate you and your company for being the socialists that you are.
