GM sabotaged its own R&D of fuel-efficient cars in cahoots with BigOil to keep Americans hobbled and dependant on gas guzzlers and their money flowing into BigOil execs' pockets. Now we're supposed to step up and bail out GM?

Where the hell is BigOil's money? Why don't they bail out GM? Hey BigOil, YOU loan the automakers the money. No, you wouldn't dare invest in fuel efficient car manufacturing to keep america competitive....that would mean less profits for you.

Unless Congress makes it mandatory for you to $tep in and help out. Well, Congress? Time to show what you're made of. And I hope it's not all bribes and abetting.

Once again Bush demonstrates that he is an idiot. All this bailout does is postpone the ineviatible. GM and Chryler are unsustainable as business in a country run by lawyers, activist, and community organizers. Given new energy and environmental regulations, it is doubtful that any manufacturer can exist in the U.S.

GM has over $100 billion in debt. How is adding to that debt going to fix the problem? It wont but Bush's stupidty will give Obama excuses are the future failures of all heavy industry in the U.S.

You know, it kind of makes me wonder why the House and the Senate even bothered debating this issue at all. Bush did this even though it was rejected by the senate. Couldn't that time have been used for something productive if this was going to happen anyway? All that talk about how the economy is in the toilet, millions of jobs being at stake, unemployment rising, economic armageddon, etc, etc, yet somehow these clowns think a raise is in order.

Bush may well go down as the worst president we've ever had, but this congress isn't that far behind him.

Bush doing something smart/compassionate on the eve of his and Cheney's likely indictments for the atrocities of their administration is like a serial killer sending roses to the victims' families on the eve of his trial.

I consider it a slap in the face. In no way shape or form will I allow neither BigOil, to buy out my justified anger at duping us into their Iraq oil takeover, nor Bushco to buy out my justified anger at their wilfull deception and conspiracy to ruin our country with last-minute "roses" as they fear for their very necks in impending legal action.

Screw that. Fry 'em.
