- "Business As Usual Is Over"
They're counting on, (relying on?), the all new 2010 Camaro to get them out of the hole they dug themselves into.
A $30,000, two door, gas guzzling sedan, that doesn't seat a family comfortably, can't haul any cargo bigger than two grocery bags, and gets 16 MPG.
Basically, they're pushing this useless gas guzzling vehicle, like they pushed their USEFUL gas guzzling SUV's.
Good luck with that. - Reply to this comment

- STOP FREE TRADE NOW
The jobs you save may be your own.
NO MORE BAILOUTS, STIMULUS, OR ANY OTHER BILLON DOLLAR GIVEAWAYS
Obama is a total failure. His intention is to destroy the USA and reduce us all to slaves and homeless starving beggars.
One more "stimulus" could be all it takes to push us over the brink to irrecoveralbe economic disaster.
STOP GIVING AWAY BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OUT OF OUR POCKETS AND STUFFING IT INTO THE POCKETS OF THE UTRA WEALTHY POWER ELITE
Do you HEAR me, President Obama???? - Reply to this comment

lovegetpeace is a die-hard, hard core communist subversive. Just look at his login name, that is straight out of the CIA handbook for subversive activities.
I've learned from experience that you can not reason with lovegetpeace. He always pulls out some communist propaganda from his little red book, no matter what you say.
If somebody checks his IP address, I have no doubt he's posting from China or some other hotbed of communism.
Like the Obamabot compound. - Reply to this comment
- Hey that's a good idea for a new business.
Instead of a tow truck, drive around in a truck with a heavy duty battery charger powered by a diesel electric generator.
You can name your price to recharge a stranded electric car.
LOL! Too sweet.
I'm sure the big companies are all over that one already. - Reply to this comment
- The new gM will have real financial problem within 5 years, they are waiting for that wonderful Volt by Chevie lol this 40 thousand battery with wheels maybe okay for city dewellers,but for the folks in the suburbs and country its not wort a crap. I visualize miles upon miles of cars off the road looking for a charge, no more service stations just plugin areas, which could be a good thing. A new shopping center could feature "Shop & Plug" then the consumer could load up all that they bought if there is room in the cab lol.

- At a news conference, CEO Fritz Henderson said the revamped automaker will be faster and more responsive to customers than the old one. It will generate cash and repay billions in government loans ahead of a 2015 deadline.
"As of today, business as usual is over at General Motors," Henderson said, adding that everyone at the company "must be prepared to change, and fast."
------------------------------------------------------
Henderson can issue one order that will help GM 1000%. Effective immediately, there will be no more limos for all GM executives. Effective immediately, all authorized GM employees will go to the nears GM plant, select a GM car or truck and personally drive that vehicle for at least 18 consecutive months. At the end of the period, that employee will submit a formal detailed written report to the GM Quality Department as to how the vehicle performed, any problems, etc. The GM QD will use those reports to help turn out better vehicles. - Reply to this comment
- Seems like you forgot about Bush my good man.
---------------------
Obama is making Bush look good.
How many of the companies that Bush bailed out are bankrupt now?
Remember, it was Pelosi who wanted to bail out GM, not Bush.
And why is it, the only way you can defend Obama is by saying he's as bad as Bush?
LOL! Look at all the comments here. Everything good about Obama is something that WILL happen, according to them. But everything that ALREADY HAS happened is Bush's fault. ROTFLMAO!
I'll start believing in your messiah AFTER he has a few ACCOMPLISHMENTS that have ALREADY HAPPENED.
So far, you messiah's miracles are all just PROMISES, PROMISES, PROMISES... - Reply to this comment

Buy Ford since they make the best Trucks on the planet and they didn't take a bailout. Write your congressman and fight for putting a Big Tarriff on companies who want to send our jobs overseas. If not, one day we will be slaves to China.
-------------------
I keep seeing more and more posts that oppose free trade and advocate a tax on imports, a.k.a. tariffs.
By 1918, the USA had become the most prosperous and powerful nation in the world. And we did it with TARIFFS as the primary source of income for the federal government.
Income tax was unconstitutional until the Sixteenth Amendment was ratified in 1913. Up to then, we had tariffs instead of income tax.
TARIFFS ARE THE SOLUTION to our problem.
And yet, Obama adamantly opposes tariffs an any other kind of protectionism.
When will Obama wise up and see that tariffs are the solution????
History is against free trade. Free trade will drag us down to a third world slave labor nation like China.
Tariffs made us in industrial superpower. Tariffs will build back our economy again. - Reply to this comment

- Wouldn'T it be a wiser approach to put your collective brain power together and figure out a way to become competitive in a global economy???

OK, let's try that.
YOU think of a way to compete with slave labor without becoming slaves ourselves.
Get back to me when you figure out something.
I won't hold my breath.
- Name something that is in fact really made in the US from parts made in the US !
--------------
Tbanks to 18 years of free trade globalization and the New Economy, NOTHING is made here anymore.
THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT.
If you want to bring jobs back, we have to stop free trade.
Free trade is destroying our economy.

Before WWII, America was nobody.
------------------------
You need to brush up on your history. That is totally incorrect.
By the end of the 1800's, the USA was THE world's industrial superpower. When we started building battleships and airplanes, we became the world's military superpower, too.
By 1918, we were the most powerful and prosperous nation in the world.
Please get your facts straight, and stop your "hate America" propaganda. - Reply to this comment
