I disagree. They have proven that they will interfere if they are not seeing the results they want to see. They've hand picked a few board members including Whitacre who is obviously running the show. Had there been no govt. interference, GM's CEO would have been yet another guy who's grandfather used to sweep the floors in Flint somewhere.

Is it a co-incidence that John Montford (who worked with Whitacre for 10 years at AT&T) is Senior Advisor, Government Relations and Global Public Policy?

I am pretty sure the govt. does not get this involved with every other business with rules and regulations.
