In countries like Italy, they call it fascism (government takes over business). Obama's new friend, Chavez, refers to it as progressive socialism.

The irony is that GM will like (and should) file bankruptcy.

I think Fiat is about their last shot before they get bought by Tata motors.[
I think Fiat will have a tough enough challenge getting their small cars to meet US emissions. I think Tata would've really-really struggled.

If Nardelli doesn't close the deal with Fiat, you can bet he will be fired.
When I posted this the other day, I should've included the link. Nardelli has already commited to stepping down after the Fiat deal is complete.

Default Did Stephen kill open discussion on Green Hybrid?

"nonsense"? Why are you attacking me and lowering yourself to partisan name-calling? Instead explain how Obama's actions will help Hybrids at Chrysler and GM.

BTW, fascism is almost the total opposite of what you described. Government doesn't take over business, business interests take over and dictate government policy. Instead of industry being nationalized, the citizens are nationalized to boost industry.....
You opened the door with the "dictator" remark. I actually Wiki-ed it last time and may have misunderstood. So here I will just quote Merriam-Webster:
I am done with this thread, it's all yours Stephen.

Ugh. The right wants to blame Obama for the mess they left him with. GM makes a great hybrid drive- I have had three hybrid SUVs and the Tahoe drive is the best. Had they made this product when the Prius was introduced or signed on for central pay health care or made any of a dozen other decisions, GM would still control it's own destiny. Instead it bellies up to the trough like a socialist company and has the nerve to complain about government control. Amazing.

Now it's even more obvious that Obama's firing was on sound principles.

Toyota sees $8.6 billion annual loss


I guess Obama will fire Watanabe next?

Doasc,

While that was a little extreme, and a zing perhaps. It seemed to really tick you off, and getting you THAT mad, really wasn't my intention...

There are much more important things to worry about, I apologize///

Peace

Sean

Depends- how much did American taxpayers pay him?

No car company would be subject to government control (to the extent that CEOs get canned) if they didn't eat at the public trough.
