      That is because the delay gave the unions time to set things up for themselves.

        It seems obvious that the administration is not going to force union concessions
        The only way that will happen is through bankruptcy
        The UAW is taking their members the same route followed by the steel unions who refused to make significant concessions - mills closed and workers lost their jobs permanently

        It really doesn't look any better at Chrysler
        Robert Nardelli has led Chrysler since August 2007. He was the former CEO of Home Depot and almost ran that company into the ground
        What does he know about the auto industry and why wasn't he asked to step down?

          Of course, the GM bankruptcy should have happened months and billions of dollars ago. Btw, do you think we, the taxpayers, will ever get an accounting of how the bailout money including the TARP was spent? I have begun wondering if there isn't a lot of graft going on in these bailouts and somebody is salting away a lot of cash. Some might say I'm overreaching but is or was there any oversight to stop it? No, I don't think so.

          I wonder how much the administrators and overseers are getting.

          Well, if Pres. Obama hadn't been "bushwacked" with the former administration's setting up this mess, he would have something solid to build on. What a fiasco these last eight years have been! At least we've got someone who doesn't lie without any conscience. He ADMITS mistakes, not "mistakes were made."

          Give the guy a break. Talk about Mission Impossible.

            I guess they're not too big to fail.
