Oh To Work For Obama

Barack Obama and his government own General Motors (or as GM now means, Government Motors). It must be nice to work for Obama:
After resigning as president and CEO of General Motors in December, Fritz Henderson might have gone into hiding or decided to sit out the harsh Michigan winter on a Florida beach.
Instead, here he is popping up again, this time as a consultant to GM on international operations at the very fancy fee of $59,090 a month for 20 hours of work a month. That works out to almost $3,000 an hour for a CEO who was ousted after just eight months on the job. Money.CNN
3000 dollars an hour is good work if you can get it. And where can I get a job where I get that kind of money and only have to work for 20 hours a month.
Yep, the government took over GM. Does anyone actually think it will make money? Not when it does stuff like this.
But the government is doing a good job bashing Toyota in order to help out GM. Talk about a conflict of interest…

It’s a pity this ‘issue’ has devolved into a political debate.
The only question that matters is, “Are Toyotas safe?”
The evidence suggests they are not. If ‘we’ stop buying them, Toyota will fix any problems they may have, or they will die.
Consider that the problem may be Toyotas drive by wire system. All manufacturers use a drive by wire system. Do we want government deciding which ones are ok?
The government should stay out of business, especially when they are so busy licking the boots of the Unions- talk about Dumb and Dumber-
