Political Punch

Listen up. Obama is mass bright. It's not his administration yet and so he's not saying a word where Bush Jr. should be. So easy on the sarcasm. Obama's a classy guy and you GOP types don't get it yet because you've had 8 years of poor example of class. But, hey, you'll get your stomachs full of class and choke on it for a long while and start wishing it was corned beef instead 'cause shallow is as shallow does'. You betcha

The Big Three croneys are working the Congress, the Senate and the American people. Boo hoo on us when it should be boo hoo on them. They have no shame. They have had 30 years to solve the problem and still refuse to consider a REAL solution. Sorry workers but it's better for them to go Chapter 11 or 13 or whatever so they don't rape the American people anymore. We don't want their damn cars because everytime we go for their cars we screw ourselves and stupid is as stupid does. DON'T GIVE THEM ANOTHER DIME. Why should we be screwed over and over again. You know they are working on a solution and that solution in their minds is how can we find an acceptable "stroke" for the Congress and Senate. Make those guys walk to Washington because that's what the rest of us are doing to cut corners. Go away so-called Big Three your days are done and so is you doing us. I will never buy American cars again because I will not support or encourage the robbery of this Nation done by FORD/GM/CHRYSLER. Just stop them NOW.

The auto industry's EGO's need to be replaced with Japanese Know-How, go charter 13 or 11 and reorganize with the Japanese cut-the-fat no nonsense business approach and so be it.

The auto industry is asking for a bridge loan, something to tide them over until they can pay back. Yet the media repeatedly frames a loan request as a bail out. I'm not against the preconditions at all for submitting a more green manufacturing plan, though it's doubtful that a thorough proposal could be realistically worked out within a two week deadline. If only the financial giants in their 700 billion could have had a modicum of the preconditions expected from the auto industries at 25 billion.

He should not tell more untill after 20th of January.
So, do not place Your proposals before the that time.

It appears that barry is acting 'present' over the past couple of days. If he wanted to help the economy, it wouldn't hurt for him to go out and give the political/market watchers some idea as to what his detailed plans are. It didn't go unnoticed that when palosi, reed and franks were gabbing it up last week that the DOW dropped like barry's senate race opponents.

"In the crowded eatery, one reporter asked him about the troubled auto industry, just days after Detroit executives went to Washington in hopes of $25 billion in federal aid.

"I got the corned beef," replied a smiling Obama."

He did this 129 times in the Il State Senate. Get used to it!

OBAMA does not know how to make a joke!

he never had a sense of humor and for sure does not know that you dont make a joke about economy like that when most of us want him to lead.

Donald R.Harris

well, run for office, ... start yer own blog....
run on the "no screen names on the blog' ticket,,
yeah,..or maybe the 'tell everyone else what to do' party..... 'Donald'..

The media gets chafed because the President-Elect (he's not the prez yet, Jake) thinks it is inappropriate to discuss complex economic issues while getting a sandwich at a deli.

Sorry, you'll just have to wait until Monday like the rest of us.

DETROIT NEEDS TO CLEAN UP THE ACT---MORE EFFICIENT CARS---AND SOMETHING THAT DONT FALL APART---WANT TO BUY A TRAILBLAZER ANYONE.--A TRUE PIECE OF AMERICAN CRAP.

Jail for Paulson. Jail for Cox. That's if you really want to see the market bounce back.

THE MAN JUST WENT TO GET SOMETHING TO EAT.

THE REAL QUESTION IS WHAT IS BUSH DOING ABOUT IT! "HE IS STILL IN OFFICE" COME OUT OF HIDING AND SAY SOMETHING! OH, I FORGOT, HE KNEW ALL OF THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN YEARS IN ADVANCE AND DID NOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP THE PROLBEM!

I DRIVE A TOYOTA ANYWAY

I'm going to go a little off topic here and just say one thing to all those people that use a screen name to make a comment if your going to comment at least have the back bone to sign your name to it. That's like not voting and then complaining about the election, you don't have a complaint coming!!!!

Concerned in Ohio

maybe instead of 'venting' about workers you should try the top management.....

"An ABC News investigation reveals that the top three automakers have together spent several hundred million dollars to buy, maintain, and operate a fleet of top-of-the-line private jets for their top executives. "

For all those who voted for ""Hope instead of the Reality of Experience. I hope you won't find out you got aObummer!

"A story that might allow Americans to see for themselves why the loans to the auto industry is necessary to avoid an economic depression that will effect everyone. "

The loans aren't necessary. All they do is go to pay for the 5 to 6,000 UAW auto workers in the "Job Bank" that get paid to do crossword puzzles all day.

meanwhile..... in Iraq and Afghanistan brave Americans are still dying.....

meanwhile..... in America thousands go hungry, do without medical care and can't heat their homes

meanwhile..... in America, no one seems to know what to do about the economy as people lose their homes, jobs and the rich get more corporate welfare

but hey, everyone's priorities are different....
some people need to complain about the president elect getting a sandwich

ABC News should be ashamed that the depth of coverage for today on a looming domestic auto industry crisis that will turn 3 million workers out on the streets, is about what the next president had for lunch. I would think that the huge impact to the economy if the Big 3 go belly up would make a very interesting new story in itself. A story that might allow Americans to see for themselves why the loans to the auto industry is necessary to avoid an economic depression that will effect everyone. Please take the lead and put forth real news instead of this trivial garbage about corporate jets and corned beef.
