Shouldn’t they call Obama since he is the highest ranking person involved with the owners of GM?

Luckily, the 2010 car sales will probably only require about 20 vehicles be recalled.

Back when GM made these at Saginaw Steering Gear in Saginaw MI, they were the best in the business. Now they are built by the lowest bidder.

Can we get this air time or press thru the Conservative pundits, FoxNews, The Tea Party movement, Republicrats(if they grow a backbone), any efforts by internet groups like Freerepublic?

lol. Jealous that Toyota is getting so much press. Poor GM has been off the front pages lately and doesn’t like it.

It’s worse than that. It drives only on the left.

Well now, Mr GM CEO, I sure am glad I can understand you just fine, not like
that Chinese or Japanese fella we had in here last week. I couldn't even get a yes
or a no out of him. You know what I mean?
