FORD…Free of Republicans and Democrats.

[flatheadgary]

now, don't you all feel bad for voting for these clowns?

[jbwelda]

according to the automakers its the govt or nothing, right? a buyout or a bankruptcy?

and obama has already said he didnt want to run a car company. he might end up hiring some stooge to do it though.

but the point is, GM is bankrupt unless the govt steps in, so its a rock and a hard place for all parties.

and the real point is, where do they go from here? Ladas and such arent gonna sell here.

And to think there are actually some people in the great country of ours that believe the guvvamint know best. Many people who know cars understand that Americans dont want the cars that Obama wants us to buy. General Motors, now Guvvamint motors, heck, just say it like it is.......socialism! Seems like (unfortunately) Ford still has "the better idea". Wonder how long before the administration declares Ford un-American for not bailing out and letting the Gov't run it. Perhaps it will become part of the next legislation. Grrrr!

So now that the government has a (temporary) stake in GM, and we are the taxpayers, thus we have a vested interest in the success of GM...

We're supposed to boycott them?

And how is that good for America?

Can't we all just build model cars? Why does this BS keep coming back? This is a model car forum. Take it to a political forum. There are PLENTY of websites where an anti-Obama stance will get you "attaboys" all day long.

Yes, I do have an opinion on this matter. No, I'm not going to share it here. Politics and religion are divisive. Here, we come together with a common interest in model cars. Can we please keep it that way? I'm going to start prepping my 1/43 Cadillac LMP for paint.

The GM bailout was borrowed money. It has not been earned yet. So start producing and pay your taxes.

Each tax payer should get shares in GM according to his contribution. This would get the Fed out of the car business and back into a publicly held company.

As for temporary, as long as the Fed is telling them what to do, they will struggle along and We will pay for it.

AMTRAK was temporary too!!

Its gonna be pretty boring when all you can by are upgraded Trabants and Ladas. I wonder if they'll want to restrict the sale of plastic for non-esssential purposes.

Huh??? Wagoner was a GM lifer...you are thinking of Bob Nardelli who was the Chrysler CEO under Cerebus'-- he came from Home Depot. Back to the original poster, who cares who Glenn Beck promotes--he's just another right-wing talking head nutter like Rush Limbaugh.
