>> To be fair, they were working on the deal before Obama took office. Which they ignored when they were screaming about Obama nationalizing the auto industry. There is NO WAY IN HELL GWB would have corrupted the bankruptcy process and taken over GM the way Obama did. There is NO WAY GWB would have forked over a sizable chunk of the business to Big Labor. Would not have happened. You are FOS.

"The BK, the changing of key mgmt, the changing of the BOD etc was all Obama. " To be fair, they were working on the deal before Obama took office. Which they ignored when they were screaming about Obama nationalizing the auto industry. Now that it looks to be working out, they are bringing that fact up. It is sort of amusing in a "crazy as a bessie bug" sort of way. They are making themselves crazy with all the twists and turns they put themselves through in an effort to make Obama look bad. Did you see the latest? Inode thinks Obama is being mean to BP. Here we have the entire Gulf coastline in danger from TX to FLA, the entire Gulf itself and the creatures within it are in the process of getting ravaged, entire industries are being destroyed.....and we have the threat of this disaster spreading to the Keys and then the Atlantic but he wants Obama to push back and let the poor beleagured BP do its job. If someone were to describe to me the comments we see on this thread, I would probably have to say I don't believe they are real.

To be fair, they were working on the deal before Obama took office Also billions where loaned to GM and Chrysler before Obama took office. Which they ignored when they were screaming about Obama nationalizing the auto industry. A lot of opponents to the later, larger bailouts opposed the earlier bailouts. I was one of the opponents. Also just the fact that the later bailout was larger is important, as is the political manipulation of the bankruptcy process.
