I am not suggesting that GM shouldn’t file for bankruptcy, but what do you think the chances are of a liberal activist judge deciding that GM has to honor the UAW contracts in bankruptcy anyway?

Let’s hope so...GM needs to file bankruptcy and break the union to become competitive. NOT too big to fail.

Yes file chapter 11 to reorganize.

Exactly. Only this time it will be - any car you want so long as it doesn't have more than 4 cylinders and goes over 55 mph.

Mwuhahahaha!!!

Does bailing out a bunch of already-retired auto workers really increase Obama’s power? No. Does it help reduce the U.S. to “the former U.S.”? No. Does having any functioning factories in Detroit help in moving the U.S. to Third World status? No.

The answer was pre-ordained: Obama screws the already-retired auto workers.

“The fund that will be set up will cover 125% of the expected cost of future warranty repairs to ensure enough money is available for all repair claims. GM and Chrysler will contribute 15% of the amount required in cash, with government loans providing the rest.”

Now the taxpayers are warrantying automobiles.

Clearly, you've been drinking. What exactly can you point to that leads your ill-functioning mind to believe I'm shilling for Obama?

Anyone who looks at the history of your posts in totality should logically conclude you intent is to mitigate, obfuscate, mislead, and act as a sophist for the Obama administration.
