Al, I wasn't ripping on Obama :confused: I just thought he was on the one that appointed him. Trust me, if I wanted to rip on that piece of **** I would...but I wasn't.

Ugh..wont start either

He wasnt. Obama doesnt want to run a car company. Neither does the goverment, but they are doing a better job now then when it was a public company for 100 years.

Finding a replacement is going to be real real hard. You have a hard driving boss, coming into a company that is in the middle of a massive paradigm shift, and are responsible for millions of jobs across the world. And your pay will be dicated by what the public thinks is a good price.

Petition to make BiGal do it?

Maybe when I get the MBA.

Well hurray the F up... GM/USA won't be around much longer at the rate we are going.

Yeah..all that debt they got rid of, and the money they are making now...they will never ever last!!

Ok I take that back Al,you are a bad business man. You cannot make debt magically "disappear".

I cant...but Chapter 11 can.

Rushing through bankruptcy court in record time and having Uncle Sam back you can do that :rofl:

They're still losing money on the books but hopefully they'll show some type of profit in next 2 quarters, on the books of course.

Well, there is gunna be some money lost with dealers and killing brands.
Not to mention that whole Volt deal is eating up a ton of R&D cash...

Sounds a whole lot like the current administrations health care plans!

Eats a ton of cash, no real positive outcome, but what the hell, the taxpayers are footing it!

Oh wait... GM is govt now...

Win!

That's why I said "on the books" ;) Also factored in are the loan repayments. Even though they lost billions again this quarter there's more to it than just that.

I'm holding out faith...I didn't like the bailout but if it works then it works. I'm keeping the faith.

As for healthcare...I'm not touching that subject because it'll get the thread locked...

not bad, not bad at all!

okay can someone straighten this out for me...

who is Fritz?
who is Whitacre?
who is Lutz?

Fritz = the CEO of GM that just "stepped down"
Whitacre = Chairman and Interim CEO
Lutz = Vice Chairman

It's all laid out in the link in the first post.
