You can't blame Obama for firing the head of GM. Should have been done a long time ago. And it's not a private corporation--not anymore. When they came, hat in hand, to DC begging for money, they lost their right to complain.

When the drunken 20-year-old who still lives at home asks mom or dad for a few bucks, he gets to enjoy a lecture on getting his act together. That's fair. If he doesn't like it he can move out and get a real job.

Likewise, GM should have never asked for money. They should put their heads together and succeed or fail.


I don't even see the point. Toyota has them in a landslide. Toyota and Hondas will be the primary cars on the road (and in my driveway) for decades.


Also, don't harp so much on France. They are our oldest ally. They not only helped us beat the snobby British, but they gave us the Statue of Liberty.


Finally, spend a week with British women and then a week with French women.


You'll be fond of France.
