GM Wagoner steps down

Quote from timscott:

JPM started a rally saying they will be profitable for the Q - then Dimon comes out and says March was awful

His comments and those of Vikram Bandit should lead to both of them in jail. Personally I made money on their comments and the ensuing rally but anyone who actually bought their stock and will ride it into the ground based on their comments should be pissed (and should also get their head out of their @ss).

At least he has the honor to fall on his sword, unlike the bums on Wall Street and congress.
What we're seeing here is class warfare, and as in all wars, those that start the wars never die in them. GM is hardly responsible for the economic meltdown, yet GM will pay the highest price while those that are responsible continue unharmed and untouched.
I know you simple minded fools will say GM and Wagoner deserve to go down, which misses the point entirely. Guess what morons...you're next!

I am under the impression he was pushed onto his sword.

GM was losing billions before any economoic downturn. They make overpriced, oversized, shitty cars that nobody wants to buy. I am not familiar with any proactive strategy ever implemented by Wagoner. He has been in denial the whole ride down. This company is losing 80 million dollars a day.

In my mind it's criminal to prop this company up. To what end? So they can continue to stockpile cars and pay bloated union costs with taxpayer money?


I think GM is the penultimate symbol of United States greed and laziness and a mascot for the US in it's current condition.

I agree with you completely. Wagoner was an excellent leader. Its King Obama I'm worried about.
 
So the Gov. is gonna run the car the car industry now? Sounds like another train wreck in-the-making. Do you believe that BO
will abrogate the union contracts like a bankruptcy judge would?
I seriously doubt' it. Will the appionted reciever make decisions absent from political influence? You know the answer here.
I predict Ford and GM will become another black hole for the American taxpayer. Tragically though, its is future taxpayers-many unborn at this time-who will pay for this folly-plus interest.
Lets not kid ouselves here. Democrats will pic the pockets of everyone-including their own great grandchildren-to prop up a devoted political ally-AFL-CIO.

Every one blames GM Management. But you don’t hear King Obama crying for the heads of the UAW. I saw those lazy UAW workers sit on there bums for years and demand higher and higher pay. I was in those plants and saw it first hand.

I had a masters degree and a UAW electrician was paid 50% more than me. I got no F—kin pension from GM. Those SOBs did. They raped GM and America. It is their greed that is driving King Obama and his cut throats….

Nardelli of Chrysler will be next.

With his vast automotive experience gleaned from running Home Depot into the ground, and then overseeing the plunge of Chrysler quality, where will he go?

Government work, probably.

GM = RMS Titanic .... Wagoner has just jumped into the last lifeboat......


R.I.P. GM soon to be the new Federal Department of Automobiles.

What's with all the panic?? Obama's gonna look out for all of us.

I'm excited to think about the upcoming models. Of course, a brand new "BO" will be the top of the line model.

There'll be a medium priced auto for the regular folks. I'm guessing it'll be called the "Regular Joe" (Biden).

There'll be a sporty model, but it will have a really weak engine. It will be marketed toward all the phony people who think they are something that they really are not. They will call this model the "Hillary".

They may let Geithner design one. Of course, it will be called the (tax) "Cheetah".

Of course there will be one marketed toward the gays. This one will only be available in one color: Pink. It will most likey be called the "Fwrankster".

Unfortunately, a new pickup will not be available, since there are so few real men in the Democratic Party who could influence a new design. Ah well, can't have everything, huh?
 
Must be a pretty nice bailout for GM this time around if The Obamassiah is tossing the CEO out on his @$$. Whataya think? 20 B? 25?
 
Gov't should have a free hand now to implement the new mileage standards that BO announced last Friday.

I'm sure as Geithner and BO deem more and more companies "unstable" that the big contributors to BO's campaign will magically appear as the "logical choice" to head up these "failed" companies.
