(SATIRE) ★ ★ Obama picks Nader to replace Wagoner as General Motors CEO★ ★
(Satire)
President Barack Obama today tapped consumer advocate and career presidential candidate Ralph Nader to replace fired General Motors CEO Rick Wagoner.
Mr. Nader immediately announced he would join the United Autoworkers Union (UAW).
“The federal government has no intention of running a car company,” Mr. Obama said. “That’s why I’m bringing in Ralph Nader, who had a major influence on GM during the final years of its heyday.”
Other than replacing the CEO and much of the board, and personally approving the firm’s financial recovery plan, the president said he and his government would have “no operational role in GM”.
“General Motors is still a private company, not a government agency,” President Obama said, “I’m not going to be the one putting the nine-volt batteries in the new line of SUVs. You won’t see me attaching the carbon-filter-bag wagons to the pickup truck hitches. And I certainly won’t be hooking up the emissions cap-and-trade meters that will come standard on all new GM vehicles.”
A UAW spokesman said having Mr. Nader as a union member would “reduce the traditional tension between labor and management that has brought the industry to the brink of ruin.”
“We now share a common destiny with the CEO,” the unnamed UAW source said. “When our wages go up, so do Mr. Nader’s. For the first time, we’ll all be on the same team. Of course the GM customer will enjoy the great feeling that he’s driving prosperity for thousands of American families.”

Question??
What is the libertarian, objectivist, or constitutional view of another country putting tarrifs on incoming products?
Does the gov't have the right to make protectionist laws in retaliation. I'm sure this is an old argument but I have not heard it outside the MSM. Anyone?
Corvairs are dangerous
This would certainly be appropriate ..The man that sued GM and got wealthy off of them, would end up running the busted CORP he helped put it there..
you-no

New GM CEO Fritz Henderson says quick court bankruptcy is an option, though not preferred

DETROIT (AP) -- General Motors Corp.'s new chief executive said Monday there's a greater risk that the company will have to reorganize through bankruptcy, because of greater demands from the Obama administration to get debt off its balance sheet.
Fritz Henderson told reporters on a conference call that the company would still prefer to restructure outside of court, but the various support mechanisms Obama outlined Monday would provide a better cushion for the company to reorganize under a court-order bankruptcy if necessary.
"We were encouraged, we talked to the auto task force about ultimately bringing the consumer back in the game," he said.
President Obama said he would give GM additional days to present and make progress on restructuring plans that are expected to go further than what was submitted in Feburary. He also introduced a program that would guarantee warranties of GM and Chrysler LLC vehicles going forward, and would allow people purchasing new cars this year to write off the sales and excise tax of the vehicle.

I doubt it!
I would hope that Nader would not participate in this unconstitutional, fascist proposition. It would be political suicide for him to do so. So, this has got to be a hoax!
hahahahahaha

the poster is jerking your chain. An inside man from GM (Government Motors) has been selected by the Obummer Administration. I forget his name, but I know it's not Nader!
Gov't doesn't want to run GM just Hire/Fire its Managers
I always new Nader was a Corporate Sell-Out.
This is a move to garner favor with the union.

This is just Satire guys
This is just Satire guys lol!
Nader is not a sell out
He has always kept his voice for peace and liberty. Perhaps Nader will take the time to point out it will not matter with NAFTA still in play and will not go along with this -- I doubt he will support Obama in any way on this, he knows all of the games and the last thing he is going to do is use his good name for something that cannot work with NAFTA in play.
