I don't know how many more times I can handle seeing "your" in place of "YOU'RE"--as in "YOU ARE"--before I explode.

Bob Corker wants US auto companies to act like foreign car companies?

That's unAmerican! Put him in a VW and tow him to Europe.

I might know the reason why he's not firing the bankers. Now, I haven't verified this info, but it sounds like its probably true:

[zndprophet]

-Chuck Prince - CEO of Citigroup, resigned on 11/04/07 after CDO and MBS losses sent Citi into its current tailspin

-John Thain - CEO of Merrill Lynch resigned from a position as new owners Bank of America took over on 1/22/09

-Martin J. Sullivan & Robert B. Willumstad - the two preceding CEO's of AIG, the former of which resigned in 06/15/08 and the latter three months later

-Dick Fuld - CEO of Lehman Brothers

-Jimmy Cayne - CEO of Bear Stearns. 3-27-08.

So Obama could fire all these guys who have barely been in charge for months, and didn't oversee the crash, but that really wouldn't solve anything. I'm sure it would make people happy, but it's kind of like shooting someone who's already dead.
