You all criticize the president every chance you get but people wouldn't be buying GM and Chrysler had he not stood behind those companies. GM and Chrysler both may have attracted shoppers looking for bargains, dispelling “the notion that consumers will refuse to buy cars from a bankrupt automaker,” Edmunds.com said yesterday in a report. Consumers’ “purchase intent” for Chrysler vehicles rose 72 percent in May compared with April, Edmunds.com said, citing an analysis of traffic on its Web site. For the week ending May 31, a day before GM’s bankruptcy filing, purchase intent for that automaker’s models increased 4 percent, Edmunds.com said. Message 25688189
