People are making a big thing about the senators from TN, ALA, LA, MISS and ALA voting down the GM loan. But this behavior is very typical of these men........anything that smacks of innovation, positive change or improvement, they are likely to be on the negative side of the equation. After all, its not the first time we've heard from Shelby, Sessions, Corker et al. Corker was the one who ran racist commercials against Harold Ford.....showing a blond white woman talking about how cute Ford was....suggesting that Ford was bedding down white women and that was a problem. And Sessions along with some of these other senators have worked hard in keeping Amtrak from going forward as one can see in this article. Its very frustrating. I can't figure out their game on this...Toyota appealed for relief for Detroit, on the grounds that a demise would be disruptive to them. I can only assume that the Japanese makers fear a backlash against their brands...not sure. Al
