I know he did not start the bail out. But he sure has taken the lead on it. He fired a CEO from a private business. He is trying to force states to take money that they don't want. He split Chrysler between the unions and the Federal Govt. He is trying to impose a health care system that will not work. The VA can't get there job right, now add 37 million more people to that system. It won't work!! The tax cuts that he claims he is giving. The cap and trade program will cause anyone that uses carbon based energy to increase there cost. In turn will be passed down to the consumer. It is a zero sum gain. He/congress is taking about the fairness doctrine, which violates not only free speech but private interprise. He wants more people on govt assistance/programs to insure that Democrats stay in power. He wants to increase taxes on business which will destroy small business and drive larger businesses overseas. Do you see my point?

Well first off he didn't fire the CEO of GM. He told GM that if they wanted bailout money he had to go. GM made the choice not the White House. Ford chose to not take money. Strings should be attached to bail out money. A national health care system is vital in insuring a competitive America. How do you know it won't work? He is giving tax cuts to many Americans. The cap and trade is important in that it will hopefully reduce co2 emissions and the math that was used to show how expensive it was going to cost consumers was bad at best. The total expected cost of cap and trade was divided solely by the number of household in the US, never was industry or corporate America considered or included in paying part of the cost even though they are the biggest users. I don't see your point because your point is based on bad or misleading information.

You don't see a problem with him firing the CEO of GM? You don't see the problem with him giving a company to the unions? Everything I have had to do with the VA ,I have had to do twice. Now add 37 million to a similiar program. You don't see the problem with that? Cap and trade will HOPFULLY reduce a gas that we exhale naturally! It will cause energy prices to increase, watch This Week from a few weeks ago. George got them to admit it!! You didn't mention the fairness doctrine, DHS calling returning war vets potential terrorist nor the second amendment. If you don't see a problem forming here, you are too few gone. You want him to turn this into a socialist country.

He didn't fire the CEO of GM, I keep telling you that yet you insist. I have no problem with him assigning part ownership of Chrysler to the union, they'll probably do a better job of running it. Business has had the upper hand in industry for centuries. I don't even know how many times I've been screwed by companies that I've worked for. maybe it's time the corporations got screwed a little. The Fairness Doctrine has not been put back in place yet and all it does is make sure that competing views are allowed to be presented. Fox news would have to allow opposing views showing that they mislead and lie about certain stories, which they do. this would also be true for all other news agency's. I am a vet as well and support them as best I can but I do realize that some of us are more balanced than others. The VA in no way shape or form would represent what a national health care system would look like. The VA health care system is a horrible institution that our politicians have ignored. Our veterans are treated poorly especially by the last administration.

The unions drove that business into the ground!! This is setting a bad pattern. Business could fire or move overseaes. Then what? More unemployment, less tax revenue going to the govt. Then govt raises taxes again!!

Fairness doctrine has not been put in place YET, but more people in Congress are talking about it. It does not cover news programs, so NBC,CBS,MSNBC,Fox,ABC ,NPR and all print media are safe. It is the opinion based programs that are in danger, Rush,Hannity, Boortz, etc that they are gunning for to silence. The VA has been broken for DECADES. When you cut the defense budget, guess what, you are cutting the VA too.
Yes, the system is broken, but Obama is trying to fix it from the wrong end.-

Unions did not drive Chrysler into the ground, bad management and overpriced upper level management did. Competition from overseas markets as well. One thing that had a deleterious effect on US auto companies was a lack of national health care system which is in place in Japan as well as Europe. Large Corporations in this Country have gotten very greedy and now they have to pay the price.

UAW has ,in the there contract, the company has to pay layed off employees up to 95% of there wages as if they are still working for the company for up to 4-6 months. They are payed for doing NOTHING!! Don't tell me that it helped the company's bottom line!! That is one out many deals that the union borderline forced the auto industry to agree to .

Judging from your posts I'd guess that you are not in upper level management of a large corporation. I would guess that you are a blue collar or low level manager. Why would you have such a grievance against someone who is on your side of the fence? Those tools in upper corporate will screw you over in a heart beat if it's to their advantage.
