The aftermarket companies have the advantage of designing parts that are compatible with multiple products, but to do this they have to maintain quality standards for form but not always performance.

O keeps hanging is hat on GM.

According to Bloomberg a share a year ago was $22, hit a high in 2/12 of $27 and is now $23/share.
End of 2nd Qtr. June showed it's revenue as the lowest for the year.

This was inspite of the US Govt.purchase of 6,348 vechicles for $105 million
on June 1st.
Very convenient time for purchase before the end of the Qtr.
and before the convention. Where's the beef?

Jeezus.All these long winded posts and explanations and defenses...its all blah,blah,blah.

Look at the title of this thread.The job market simply put sucks a$$,nothing more and nothing less and the only place to put blame is on the current admin and nothing else.

Anyone who actually believes Obama has actually done something positive for the jobs market should be taken out behind the barn .He hasn't helped anything,just the opposite.

Hmm......borrow and spend several trillion dollars(with no way to pay it back) in the hopes that this will put people back to work.Good plan.

I'd agree with you except for the fact that you're completely wrong.

It's impossible for Obama to fix the problem, his job as POTUS is simply to keep the ship afloat during the storm even if 1/2 the passengers are puking over the side.

Whomever is in charge when things get dramatically better will get to take the credit.

"It's impossible for Obama to fix the problem,"

He has made it worse. Businesses won't expand because of unknown taxes and healthcare costs. Business owners here have said that very thing.

He has also made it worse by adding $5 trillion to the debt. Some of that was for things he had no say in, but not all of it.

He has also made things worse by choosing to vote "present" on fixing medicare and social security.

If Obama, as POTUS, doesn't have the ability to fix the economy, what was the purpose of teh GM bailout again? I mean tha stated purpose. The "real" purpose was to buy union votes, but the stated purpose, at least, was to save and fix the company.

the storm was over three recovery summers ago...Obamas policies have prevented meaningful growth.... and he sure claimed to know "how to fix the problem" when he was making all of those promises the last 4 years or so....

I believe his words were "I will be a one term proposition"

Nonsense. The Lauer interview was 10 days into his presidency, at that time nobody understood the full impact of the recession.

Makes no difference, he ran on the basis of being able to fix it.
Shoulda done his Haved homework.
