Obama's financial plans are not getting any traction on Wall St.

Obama has also announced - White House says supports private banking system.

GM's day is done. The company is like a huge beached whale. It's an awful sight to behold. To big to get itself off the beach and slowly suffocating. I doubt even the Navy tug ( gov't loans) will be able to do the job. I wouldn't waste a cent on this soon to be sun bleached pile of bones.
I feel sorry for all those people who have worked their whole lives on the line. It's over rover. As for the management, FUCK them, a bunch of arrogant dimwits. You can bet, they'll make damn sure like the vultures they are, they get to eat the carcass and devour the loans as well. We shouldn't expect anything back on this mistake.
