If I had you in front of me this is what I would tell you:
1-Your interests are Self-interest above all
- You don't care a wit about your people or the American Consumer who bought your products
- You failed to lead and get your people behind you and work together with your team to find creative solutions
- You took the easy way out
- You failed to let the free market system work--and because of your mismanagement, you deserve to fail. If you worked for me, I'd fire you. In fact, the American Public will do just that; they will vote with their feet; won't buy your products. Come 2010, Mr. Obama, they will dismiss your partners in crime.
2- GM & Chrysler, You failed to negotiate with Labor
Instead, for the last 30 years or more, you bowed to the demands of greedy labor, giving them everything they wanted, driving labor costs through the roof; and now you can't deliver on your promises; but you'll give away TAX PAYER money to finance their pensions.
Obama, you did everything in your power to insure that the UAW got what it wanted while you ignored the priorities of Chrysler bondholders--I hope the Courts go against you and stop this deal.
3-You put politics above principles and the law
You (Obama) ignore the rule of Law, and push through your will, not the will of the people
You are comfortable, ignoring the Constitution powers that are unconstitutional (and you GM, Chrysler are pawns who have no integrity)
4-You destroy the businesses and impact the lives of those who made you successful in the past and throw your dealers under the bus;
You put them out of business;you could have taken all of that money you want to waste and given it to them, to get them through? That would have been a better, less costly proposition--than the billions you are willing to throw away on PORK
You (OBAMA) put parts suppliers out of business and claim you're saving 150000 jobs. You (GM, Chrysler) tell us your companies are going to turn a new leaf and make products that The President wants you to make; you (Obama) give away $4500 to any consumer who wants to trade in a "gas guzzler" for a new car--so, you've developed your own "cash-back program with out money! Mr, Obama, you ARE in the Car business Mr. Obama
In short, you're all liars.
5- You pander to environmentalist weenies (votes for you Mr. Obama,) They hate the thought that global warming, like evolution are theories--NOT proven; these whackos rule, keeping us under the thumbs of our Arab "Friends"; driving up the cost fo refining Oil because of all of their regulations and taxes;
Mr. Obama, You believe in windmills--there in your mind.
What a sad bunch you all are. Henry Ford is turning in his grave.
John - but how do you really feel about it? I am not sure about not letting the free market work, though. It appeared to be working, until the free market was assaulted, especially with an almost vertical trebling of gasoline costs. The market at the time was for SUV's, pick ups, more power using cheap fuel. There was little incentive to make mini-cars, although there should have been more investment in efficiency without a comfort/performance trade off.
