If there is a turnaround or at least the hint of one by 2010, the President's actions and words yesterday concerning GM and Chrysler will be largely forgotten.

But if there isn't an economic bounceback by then or if GM/Chrysler fail while zombie banks continue to vacuum up taxpayer dollars some of the people here in Michigan are going to blame the President and the Democrats. And that we do not forgive. frown

Right-wing, left-wing , whatever many people in Michigan are deeply skeptical of the efficacy (or the legality) of firing Wagoner while financial bigwigs skate by.

Here's a take from a relatively right-wing columnist who normally I would disagree with. But I think he nails it here.

CEO-in-Chief

"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
