"Of course he's going to say that. Popular opinion was running against the GM bailout."

But you said he said it before the bailout and called him disingenuous....a false statement.

"
The fact is that Obama is actually bailing out the UAW. He's even going to hand over part of the company to them."

Didn't the UAW help bail out GM? And btw, in a free market system, the union could have bought all the stock it wanted...

"You really think the government is going to be completely hands-off after it "saves" GM?"

I can't imagine why it would want it, can you? The feds bailed out Chrysler under Iacocca until he paid it all back....

I hope they do remain hands on at least until GM is starting to run more effectively. You seem to forget that its the PRIVATE SECTOR that destroyed America's car business, not the gov't. And its the PRIVATE SECTOR that pretty much did in the banks, homebuilding and the insurance companies as well.

You need think before you post! AMIRITE?
