Weisel Wagoner was on Fox Finance and refuse to say what HIS personal concession would be. He beat around the bush talked like a politician. Like most American CEOs , he will help destroy GM and walk away with tens of millions of dollars. Chrysler’s parent company posted huge profits of billions last year yet is like a starving hog at the money trough. Ford says they don’t needd a bail out but will take the free handout anyway. GM just can’t sell overpriced low quality , unattractive scrap. The ones making out here are lawyers and UAW bosses.

Fine in a sense that they’ve made prior funeral arrangements? I hope that the plots are already paid for. Oh, wait, this bailout should buy those gilded mausoleums needed.

Sorry guys, but I think GM with Wagoner, are going to be just fine. I know that’s not the general feeling in here, but …

LLL3, Wagoner spent 8 years picking the right board. They are not about fire him, because next guy will bring his entourage and will release the board. If his name would end with a vowel it would be called MAFIA, but since it isn’t – it’s kosher.

Actually, being dismissed immediately by the board of directors would be the best thing that ever happened to GM in its present state; a sign of the changes needed, and respect to the American taxpayer for being bilked in the first place.

I dont think that GM will survive with Wagoner at the helm and Lutz up his butt. These two need to be gone and then GM may survive, maybe even become profitable one day, but this is the first step in GM’s reformation.

Yes, GM will survive. No, Chrysler won’t.

^No I dissagree. The no-consequences policy only goes for individuals whose net worth is more than 10 million

Me too! And, Wall Street bankers are restructuring to give us the finest, safest investment possibilities too, with no regard for their own personal wealth, they’re just concerned about helping people, they’re people-people, they all just love helping people! (zzzzzzzzzz…).. And, what if GM goes bankrupt and disbands in three months? Does Wagner go to prison for lying? I don’t think so, it’s just like the rest of America, there are no consequences for actions, in general. I mean, well, you know what I mean..

If federal loans generated blueprint for next 100 years and not company on its own it will be gone in 4. By the time new(old) president will be re-elected this corpse will be buried.
