I stayed out of this for a while because DG was handling himself quite well...
But here's the facts, and I challenge you to prove me otherwise:
The government has not directly effected any of GM's vehicle plans.
The government has no interest in controlling GM, in the short or long term.
The treasury owns 60% of the company, so they have a right to appoint seats on the board...but make no mistake, they only want to see the balance sheets and care nothing for the product side of things.
Whitacre, right now, is leading the push to do things that are RIGHT for the company. Doing ONLY what's its best interests. What do you have to dispute that?
I'm really frustrated reading all the "I'm right, you're wrong" messages in here, because all I've read to support it so far is menial points that provide a foundation for what a person WANTS to believe...not what's actually happening.
