I would not underestimate the Obama team's skills, not as business folks, but as politicians, which is what they are.

The TARP deal was largely constructed outside the Obama Administration's control, but it looks like it has served the purpose of letting Obama's team learn some great lessons. They have learned that populist sentiment is that execs are getting off scott free (or even partying with the bailout money). And the taxpayers are keen for a little punishment. This is a quick and easy way to build Populist support by showing that they are demanding the heads of the folks who 'caused' this. it might not be fair, but when the government is your banker, you better expect that politics come with the cash.

The North American car industry… So, you’re saying that the only way that US auto industry can sustain itself is to continuously pedal over sized SUV’s and 4X4′s? If that’s the case, the “big 3″ are already dead and in the ground… All that’s left to do is shovel the dirt on the casket and stick some PVC flowers on the mound. Do we really expect to be able to infinitely expand industrial manufacturing in a fixed resource, fixed area planet? The first thing that we should do is define “sustainability” and then seriously look at pursuing that avenue, otherwise the future will look like alot of revamped 50′s automobile marketing rhetoric. Better go have a gander at “The Story of Stuff” with Annie Leonard and then spout us some more rhetoric about increasing output to increase profitability. People are getting tired of working 60+ hours a week just to buy junk and watch it fall apart before the payments are even done…

I wanted Rick to step down after he demonstrated an inability and unwillingness to defend GM against brainless trash like Who Killed the Eelectric car?
Then he ruled out bankruptcy in favor of continuing GM’s deadly connection with the price-fixing UAW.
Rick just wanted to be liked. The job called for leadership and Rick certainly had no ability in that regard. However, the jerks in Obama’s auto committee showedin its recomendations that it understands nothing about the auto industry. Neither does Obama, who makes claims that going green and “high tech” will save the American auto industry. GM was as high tech as many, but with the UAW and its health care for retirees fund, there simply wasn’t any money left,even during good years, to pay for development of vehicles. And anyone like the liar Obama who thinks that Detroit can prosper building small cars needs to have a foot shoved up his skinny ass. Why does he think GM was building those popular expensive triucks and SUVs? That what the folks were buying and the only vehicles that turned a profit. Obama seems to have the bizarre idea that one prospers by getting smaller and selling fewer products with lower profit margins.
That tells you everythiong you need to know about Obama’s abilities as a businessman. He’s pure BS.
Nothing more, nothing less. How about a Presidential impeachment to start the ball rolling. Uh, oh, Biden’s waiting in the wings. Decisions, decisions…
