Finger-pointing begins as Senate nixes auto vote

A Democratic Congress, unwilling or unable to approve a $25 billion bailout for Detroit's Big Three, appears ready to punt the automakers' fate to a lame-duck Republican president. Caught in the middle of a who-blinks-first standoff are legions of manufacturing firms and auto dealers — and millions of Americans' jobs — after Senate Democrats canceled a showdown vote that had been expected Thursday. President George W. Bush has "no appetite" to act on his own.

The US auto makers sure knows how to use the same fear mongering tactics as the government does.

"BAIL US OUT NOW or I SWEAR everything will go to HELL in America!!!!"

Ummmm..... solution to auto-makers!!!!
Why don't you guys slowly scale back just like the smart executives of the other businesses did!!!!!

Pouring more money into your failed organization will not make people buy your crappy cars!!!!

The only reason everything will go to hell in America is because you incompetent CEOs do not know how to close down your businesses and your sites one by one and gracefully.

THE American CEO INCOMPETENCE is showing!!!!

It doesn't take a genius to come to the conclusion that America is in the midst of an illegal immigration crime wave. Watch America's Most Wanted, turn on the local news, or pick up a newspaper and you can see the ever growing number of illegal immigrants that are committing violent crime in America. Even in the Midwest, far from the border with Mexico it is becoming commonplace to see the list of illegal Mexican immigrants that are being sought or already arrested for crimes. I am sure that these numbers have grown as the illegal immigration boom in the past two years has but, here are the best available statistics for the illegal immigrant crime wave that is changing America daily as politicians and the wealthy business owners continue to push the "benefits" of illegal immigration as the average American spending power is becoming less and less in the new global economy. I guess they are not feeling the pain that many American communities are feeling trying to deal with this growing epidemic that is creeping North and East of the border.
There are reported 12-20 million illegal Latin America immigrants in our country roughly constituting 4-5% of the U.S. population. 27% of the entire prison population in America are illegal aliens.( General Accounting Office 2005)

Ford and GM had plenty of money to build new auto plants in Brazil. Let Brazil bail them out.

Figures the wussy Democrats - unable to get their socialist bailout swallowed by the people - blames Bush, who said in the beginning he wasn't supportive of it - and neither were the American Citizens.
It's not like the Auto Big 3 is going to go out of business before January - so why not wait till then and pass it without any opposition to fight?
here's why - they won't have anyone but themselves and Obama to blame if they passed it then and it blew up in their faces.

easy fix, stop all imports until the American made auto makers are doing great again.
we all know the big three co own those foreign rigs too and only want to break the unions by selling those slave labor cars to us instead of the American union made ones.

Obama has his own plan. He is going to sweat the auto companys for awhile until he gets the concessions he needs to make good his campaign promise to go battery/ hybrid.If the big 3 will not deal, neither will Obama, and we all will see just how broke they are!

for the prices they get for their cars and trucks, they can sell 10% of what they used to and still come out ahead.
they want to go out of business so they can sell us the slave labor cars for same price but a lot less to make but there won't be anyone willing to buy them because they won't have jobs so they can't win without bring America up with them or move out. free trade is bad for America, it will makes slaves to the corporate folks out of us all.
it will also make other countries have more power then us, making it a sell out to Americans.
hell no to a bailout.

Let us see the skills of these CEOs!!!!

Well, let's see the skill of the GM CEO.

Does the GM CEO have the skills to gracefully shut down the operations of GM one by one????

Probably not!!!! He does NOT know how to plan for a graceful shut down like the other skilled CEOs.
