Mike Murphy and Peggy Noonan Trip over Live Mics on MSNBC

If Bush was the president and said he was going to save the economy by doing the very thing that got us here (overspending!) you would have been furious and condemning him as continuing to do same old stupid policies. Yet, Obama has spend more in 8 months than all presidents combined and you praise and defend him for it ?!? You are so self-deceived, biased and hyprocritical no one should listen to a word you print.

One of the best videos on YouTube for sure.

Oh, Christ. Obama has made it perfectly clear he does not want to be the Car Maker in Cheif. He inherited their mess and refused to see hundreds of thousands of more layoffs further cripple the economic health of the nation. [But conserveratives were FINE seing them go under becaue they dont give a sweet shit about the working class] As for the worlds best health car system 1] not for 40 million uninsured and the US lags re infant mortality, obesity, longevity and preventative care.

In taking over the auto companies Obama completely dumped on bondholders while giving major ownership shares to the UAW which, with its outrageous work rules and excessive wages, wrecked the U.S. industry in the first place. Polls show that more than 80 percent of the public are happy with their health care and don't want the crappy rationing system that Obama wants to impose. People in this country are able to get medical treatment whether they are insured or not.

The UAW did not decide what kinds of cars and trucks the company would produce or how to promote them. GM was grossly mismanged by executives making absurd slaries. They consistently resisted developing fuel efficient cars and CAFE stands. US troops were not responsible for the disaster in Iraq, US leaders were [ ubtil Petraues]. ENRON employees were not resposible for the companies gross corruption and ultimate implosion, highly paid ENRON executives were.

Yes, there is plenty of blame to go around in the GM debacle. However, the UAW did negotiate contracts with wages and benefits far out of line with workers making Japanese cars in nonunion facilities in southern states. This made it impossible for GM to make profits on any products other than high-priced cars, and large SUVs and pickup trucks. I suppose the big three could have resisted the contracts more strongly.

Why is Ford, which has been making 'greener', more fuel efficient cars than GM [ and Chrysler] doing so much better than GM.?

Do "green" cars make up a significant percentage of Ford's sales. I thought its strong sales products were pickup trucks and suvs. I think the public resents GM and Chrysler to some extent because of the bailout money that they accepted.

If Bush said he was going to save the economy by overspending you would condemned him for continuing old stupid policies. Yet, Obama has spend more in 8 months than all president term & you praise and defend it ?! You are so self-deceived, biased. 1/10th of one percent of the trillion dollar stimulus package could have bought all 40 million uninsured their own health coverage. This is not about caring but about control..the government wants every part of your life to be subject to their power.

He did inherit an economic mess, but his solution of massive federal deficits as far as the eye can see is only making it worse. As for the health care system, he should leave it alone instead of turning it into the hideous ration system that currently exists in Canada and Great Britain. Hopefully Obamacare will fail.
