    Default So Rename GM to BO?

    Now it's Obama's failure, no?

    Wagoner: Obama's Diem?
    Rick Wagoner = Ngo Dinh Diem? Discuss. After visibly defenstrating GM CEO RIck Wagoner, and moving to replace the board of directors, won't Obama now "own" the GM problem?...

    ...And doesn't that, in turn, make extracting the necessary concessions (by threatening bankruptcy) more difficult as well? ... This wouldn't be the first time that financier-turned-autoczar Steven Rattner's tendency to talk to the press--and maybe emphasize his own role--proved counterproductive. ..

    Naw.

    "Government Motors" says it all, well enough.

    good point kathy...now that obama has taken control of the company, i wonder how many of his followers will blame him when the company fails. i'm not sure GM will survive this. i think alot of peole are upset that GM has recieved money and is now viewed as government motors. this situation could possibly and i think has greatly damage GM's repuation.

    the Obamabots will NEVER blame him for anything..in their eye's, he can do no wrong..

    they'll still say, It was Bushs fault.
