let them use the bankruptcy protection laws like 99% of all other business do that are either mismanaged or going through a tough time.

Atlas is seriously about to shrug with company after company lining up at the taxpayer trough and the goofballs in DC giving out “money” like lollipops.

President Bush would be absolutely NUTS to sign any significant legislation or otherwise bail anyone out before his term ends. The Dems will blame any and all negative results on him.

He should just say that the people have spoken and a new president is on his way to inauguration. The new guy has the right to set his own agenda, free of meddling by the current president.

If Bush bails out GM, the union workers get health care, pension benefits, etc. and the people get poorly made and overpriced cars. Oh, and the bill for the bail out.

Besides, wouldn't it be fun to watch the UAW as GM files for bankruptcy? Unionism would suffer a fatal blow if the UAW dies! Viva le Revolucion!

GM is willing to offer the government preferred stock, speed the introduction of fuel-efficient vehicles and set limits on executive compensation in exchange for financial aid, Wagoner said.

How about getting some nine year old to replace Wagoner. It would not take much to do a better job.

...As opposed to building a car the world wants to drive.

"Obama's chief of staff urged swift action Sunday to rescue the US auto industry, but declined to say whether Obama supported the appeal by Democratic House speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority leader Harry Reid."

What? Obama's chief of staff is pushing for this but Obama himself has no position on it? Give me a break!!!

The writer then goes on to notify us that in the sage opinion of Barrack Hussein Obama, the auto industry is very important - so apparently whoever wrote this wishes to spin this story against Bush and not against Obama.
