I just saw Obama in Green Bay today, so I now know what to say about the proposed big three US automaker bailout.  And Lutz' latest stupidity on the Colbert Report.  He thinks "global warming is a crock of shit".

If GM had not killed the original electric car, way back 8 years ago.  And instead, installed a backup generator and better batteries, thus producing the still promised but never produced "Volt".

Back in the day it would have saved US from this economic disaster.  Oil prices would have stabilized with decreasing demand, no oil war would have been joined. 

 Then Lutz would have credibility wether or not he believed in GHG climate change.

GM and Lutz have zero credibility  on anything relating to any of this, plugin hybrids or climate change.  Now they want billions in bailout money, because that credibility is gone with GM profitability.

But they want to use the money for more efficient ICEs, not plugin hybrids.  So screw Lutz and the boardroom he rode in on.  Maybe Walmart will buy their brand name and build plugin hybrids in China?  Paying for golden parachutes for Lutz and his fellow human hemorhoids?

As Barack says, "Enough!"

The only way these idiots should get a dime is in social security.  Retire every Detroit boardroom and executive moron before any bailout is given and get a firm agreement to mass produce millions of plugin hybrids for government use.  

Sorry Lutz no parachute of gold, no 42 million dollar prize, like McCain advisor Fiorino got for wrecking Hewlet Packard.  No freedom medal like Tenent got.  Not even a "heckuva-job-brownie".

Put some engineers in charge and they will get the job done without a free lunch.  Taxpayers give them billions, we get millions of plugin hybrids for government use, over the next 20 years.  The engineers put the autoworkers back on the job.  And tell the accountants and lawyers when to jump and how high.

Engineers in the boardroom, instead of salesmen?  Yep.  Do it or go under, make them an offer they can't refuse.

A similar ultimatum for wall street. You want a bailout, we need regulation, the culprits responsible for insider trading manipulation and fraud offered up for prosecution, and taxpayer ownership equal to the bailout money.  So we can recover that bail money when the economy regroups.

Time to stop playing nice with thieves.
