GM should spend more time tracking metrics and making improvements than investing R&D in that POS Hummer, H2, H3 and I'm sure they have the H4 in the works. They grasp on to these short-lived fads and are unable to sell enough units to turn a decent ROI.

yup

Also, think of this. Why would ANYONE qualified to make change and take big business risks join GM? What superstar would want the job?So that if they are successful and receive compensation to match their success they will be publicly flogged by the congress? The reaction to the AIG bonuses has put a serious bruise on the credibility of the government. Many qualified and intelligent people will not be signing up to work for any companies tied to the government.

I've got a retarded Uncle, that is looking for work....
He voted for Obama too.

That's 2 out of the 3 things they are looking for.

Now if I can only teach him to read a teleprompter (to hold press conferences and say its all his fault) he may have a future at GM.

Good. They're going to fail anyway. Hopefully the government realizes this sooner than later before too much money is completely wasted. The last thing we need is a subsidized automaker in similar shoes as Amtrack - wasting money with no regard and not improving the product or efficiencies because the government will just give is more money anyway.

so Johnny, just to be clear, if GM fails, Obama does too. Its his gamble he has chosen to make - to support GM.
Sounds "Limbaugh-ish" of you to want Obama to fail.
