Forced SacrificesFollow

Does Obama even know what the word sacrifice means? I'm quite sure the 20,000+ employees who lost their jobs know what the word means.

I'm quite sure his yale boy toy doesn't.

And this 31yr old who hasn't even finished law school is going to be responsible for dismantling GM.

Change you can believe in.

Something tells me you didn't vote for Obama.

Well it's better then someone like Bush Jr. doing it.

No, not really.

Do you even read the articles you link? Only joking, we all know the answer to that one.

red,



You realize this is the title of the article don't you?

I'm trying to figure out what your gripe here is. Do you think he is going to be too eager to liquidate GM without a thought for the employees? Because he came out against the liquidation of Chrysler. Do you think he is too young? You don't like his qualifications? What exactly are you pretending to be upset about?

You realise this is the title of the article, don't you?

So, Varrus, **** Cheney was a "spoiled ivy league child" too? 'Cause he went to Yale. Not for that long, though, on account of being too stupid to cut it.

The question you should be asking yourself is "do you honestly think this guy will be doing this all by himself?"

That, or "How about I read the fucking article that I am linking because who knows it might just save me from posting a gigantic amount of crap, oh, who am I kidding it'll never make a difference now let's go back to ************ to doggy ****."

Let's say you graduate from high school at the age of 19. You go to college to earn your BS in Criminal Science, or whatever. Now you're 23 years old. You then go to law school for three years. 26 years old.

By 31,you'd be practicing law for five years.

He is not a child.

I, myself, am 30 years old and have worked the same job for going on 9 years now. I have been married for over 6 years. I could, potentially, be raising a passel of children. 31 is not a child, you moron.

Deese's speech, or Obama's? I'm guessing Obama's. Look, you seem of two minds on this. On the one hand, you hate governmental intervention and big spending. So if the Obama administration tried to save the auto industry, they'd be doing bad. On the other hand, when they admit GM cannot be saved, you get mad that Obama said it is a "forced sacrifice" and decide that any failing industry that the Obama administration lets fall is one more nail in the coffin of America's industries. All industries, apparently. Him allowing them to fail, via capitalism, is the same as attacking them.

It just looks like there's no answer from your view. What would YOU do?

As for the qualifications, I have no idea how qualified this guy is. I wouldn't call him a child because he's older than me. But GM is going into bankruptcy, and Deese is there to make sure it works out as well as it can. Considering he's overseeing it's final voyage, I'd consider him at least as qualified as the CEOs who drove the company into the ground in the first place.

Also, the profile linked in the OP was pretty interesting.

Locked,



What qualifies him? And it wasn't the CEO's that ran GM into the ground it was the UAW; who incidentally now own a huge stake in the company courtesy the Obama administration. Capitalism didn't fail here the socialist unions did. Just like every other company that has a large union presence is doomed to failure.
