Don't disagree on the benefits of him not saying anything. Could have save a lot of server usage today.

But please, oh my God, please stop with this government owned crap. The Treasury holds less than 30% of GM stock now. We the people no longer have a controlling interest in GM. The UAW stake is nearly as big as what the Treasury holds now. The U.S. is a minority share holder. It's kind of like being a minority owner of a major league sports team. Get's you a nice suite and you can tell everyone you are "an owner", but you don't really get a say in anything.....................unless you agree with the majority owner.
