White House Refines Position on Auto Industry

[MrGeestacks]

who is this assclown.

[GemHudson]

No justice. No peace.

No green car. No bail out.

But being free in your enterprise is to sell what they are not buying into.

[AmericanDemon7]

Dana gave me a bj back in high school. cute still

[emforty2]

ask urself who makes JUNK and whos in Trouble ?

[jorkjica]

I've been driving my Chev pickup for the last 20 years and its running strong. US autos have improved tremendously and that may be their problem: they produce just the same quantity as they did when they could rely on planned obsolecence. Toyota has had huge recalls as well.

Am I the only one who has a huge crush on Dana Perino?!

[trustusyeahright]

I think dana is hott. Older american cars were great, but they have lost it. The jap cars made here are better. Pains me to say it, but hey

[Kold2market]

Big3 Auto should turn to Big3 Oil for Bailout Exxon etc... After all Big Oil are the direct benefficiaries of the Big3's gas guzzling SUV's.

OR ask Saudi Arabia, or any of the foreign country where they have manufacturing and assembly plants in... like the new plant in Russia.

Leave the US Taxpayers alone!

It's not enough we buy your SUVs and the oil at $150/per fill up, now you want our tax dollars to bail your sorry asses out?

NO WAY!

[Thief13x]

HEY WHAT ABOUT THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY? WHEN DO THEY GET A CUT?

this is the biggest load of shit I've ever seen. The legacy airlines were just like the big three, and the government never bailed them out. So what resulted? SOUTHWEST, JETBLUE

don't be stupid you fucking government!!!!

[smpalazzolo]

Don't you all care about your fellow American's jobs? 1 in 10 people have jobs related to the US Auto Industry. With restructuring, WE CAN make the next generation of cars.

[Thief13x]

your damn straight, and WE CAN do it WITHOUT a bailout. The top 3 falling will make room for a new generation of auto companies which WILL scoop up all the employees. With all the government incentive programs for green this and that, it'd be a steal. WHY ARE WE BAILING OUT THE TOP 3?!

[Xantheus07]

Like other people said let the Big 3 FUCKING DIE. Another car company will emerge in the vacum they create one that doesnt have to be shackled with unions.

[smpalazzolo]

I'm sorry, you are wrong. You don't know what you are talking about. Unions protect people, help families, help send people to college, and much more. You don't know what you are talking about.

[Xantheus07]

Unions arent doing that haveing a JOB is helping families, helping send people to college and much more.

[smpalazzolo]

I live in Metro Detroit. You probably aren't from Michigan. The UAW has helped my family much more than you could ever understand. People who work in car factories come home hurting, so they get paid well, or else they wouldn't do it. Toyota only pays as much as they do to remain competitive with UAW factories. Do you think Toyota will continue to pay well if the UAW busts? I don't.

[blite13]

The workers come home hurting? LOL, too funny. Your Masters are busting your unions, great change is coming to America. Your masters(big business and bankers) are bringing you to your knees, they won't stop until you beg them to. Then they will know you are ready to give up your constitution. It's their goal, one world under one government and America has to die for them to reach their goals. So what we are seeing is the destruction of America.Stop blaming each other and find out who is doing it

[trustusyeahright]

yeah $30 per hour to screw in lugnutz. no way. There are two things about unions that they will be getting away with no more. They dont want to hardly work and when they do they want way more than the work is worth as far as auto workers go. Seems like the most overpaid union i can think of. look at what teachers get that is a good union

[smpalazzolo]

I think everyone should get paid well. I'm sorry you don't get paid what you are worth. Or, you know you don't actually work hard, so you think no one else does, and therefore, shouldn't get paid well. This sounds like the root to your argument.

[ZoomBFX]

The auto companies did it to themselves.

Let them suffer

[christian025]

And just what is that better way? It doesn't matter how much money American automakers get as welfare from the American tax payer. If they continue to make the same crap they do now, we're wasting our money. Some industries just need to fail to get that verticle shock they need to change.

[leepakim]

Dana is so hot and cute. i hope that Obama keeps her as white house press secretary.

[JUKIO01]

i think he already chose someone, its some guy

[leepakim]

shit.

[sultar881]

now you can see the auto makers will never suceed . down with oil burning cars down with capitalism, the revolution is here

[ContrastY]

How can a share of Coca Cola be worth more than a share of Ford Motors?

[turbomonkey2k]

Easy, a Coke tastes better than a Taurus

[ContrastY]

Well, if you want to make jokes about it fine.

I dont think our economic state is a laughing matter.

[freedomintheus]

FRAUD,TREASON!!!

[mike29571]

Agreed. But the ship has already hit the iceberg, and this is just the band. It sure is nice having soothing music - as look for a lifeboat to climb into.

[isegoria1]

JUST DRILLING HOLES IN THE SHIP AS FAST AS THEY CAN. When Barack gets into office the ship will already be sunk.
