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.

It is certainly your privilege to disagree.
Do you work at GM daily?
The fate of Mr. Wagoner was sealed by both the board and the Obama administration. So in that sense, you are right in that there were decisions made.
Washington is not running the day-to-day operations.
Believe me -- I am a 'free-markets' kinda guy. I do not like government interference....the government has NEVER run anything efficiently -
....there are those who feel that Washington is calling all the shots. They are not....
(.......well.....in the case of regulations - you betcha they are)
-- they are not runnning the day to day operations.
The bottom line? No matter WHAT GM (or Chrysler) does - it will be met with anger from one group or another.
There ARE messages in that commercial - go back and watch it again. We are committed to meeting and exceeding your expectations. I think the Equinox and the CTS and the Camaro and the LaCrosse and the ZR1 (etc) are proving that we've changed - and that we offer some of the best cars and trucks available.....
...........but then, what the heck do I know?........
