It looks like Meet The Press wanted to get the new GM guy on the show before the Obama administration decides that they don't like him either, and he gets the heave-ho.

And how long before the peace-lvoing peoples of the Obama administration decide that "General Motors" sounds far too military and a name change is in order? After all, GM has already decided to close down the only US auto division with an American Indian name, so getting "General" out of the corporate name is not that much of a stretch.

And I wish this comment was all satire, but it isn't. After the events since 1/20/2009, there is no satire material left.

I haven't checked this morning what he's done in the Czech Republic, but I am sure I won't be happy.

This reminds me of pre-ww ii germany where their “government” brought in all the big corporate ceo’s and TOLD them what they were going to make in the next years.
