Following Lmichigan's thread. I wonder if this isn't a ploy by the Bush administration to gain support for the Repubs from normally democratic states? They can state they helped them when the chips were down so they do care about them. I certainly wouldn't put it past this regime. http://www.windsorstar.com/Bus h+bank+bailout+fund+automakers /1069447/story.html |

Goat....count on it; George will come through for Detroit. Subsequently, everyone - our friends the Democrats inclusive - will sing his praises. Strange as that might seem. But then, did you ever - in your wildest dreams - think you'd see gasoline prices go from $4.10 to $1.50....in the span of 90 days. It's a Weird World After all...it's a weird world after all - - - sing it with me. |

How about the idea that he didn't want to see millions of people facing the possibility of losing their jobs when he could supply enough money to at least get them to the seating of the next congress? His name is Bush, not Hitler. I thought I was as cynical as one could get about politicians, but some of you are off the deep end. If he doesn't do it he's a bastard and if he does do it he's still a bastard with his own personal agenda. Why not just give him credit for doing the right thing? |

It's all a vast right-wing conspiracy orchestrated by Dick Cheney from an undisclosed location. Goat, you're overestimating their intelligence. (Message edited by Retroit on December 12, 2008) |

Yeah, it's quite ironic, but Bush doesn't want this hanging over his head as well. He's been too preoccupied with what his legacy will be. I can't imagine he also wants to be known as the President who let the American auto industry vanish. |

Lmichigan, no particular reason I didn't want jump on the thread you started and have it go off course. By the way Bush jr made me jump off the deep end with his endless stupidity. Considering what a dismal "leader" he has been I don't believe he is doing this because it is the right thing to do. Bush doesn't do anything it seems without getting some type of payback. |
