OK, Mr. President, it's your baby now. Force the CEO out. Dictate the new CEO. Tell them what cars to build. Force them to build little things that we get killed in due to CAFE going to 36 MPG. Demonize the corporate culture and pay. This is all your baby now. Watching the Dow drop 275 points as an aftershock of this tells me one thing. Most businesses are thinking, " Am I next?" And Yes, you may well be. Does anyone think this is a good thing? Does anyone in the Whitehouse know what a lugnut is? Are you going to deal with the Legacy costs that are choking GM? Are you going to restructure the union contract so GM can compete? Are you going to stop the Job Shop program that pays thousands of people not to work? I won't hold my breath. Remember What Ronald Reagan said, " The 10 most frightening words in the English language are 'I am from the Government, and I am here to help'". I Dare you to look up the definition of Fascism in the dictionary! tr
