HOW THE FUCK DID WE GET HERE?
The Obama administration asked Rick Wagoner, the chairman and CEO of General Motors, to step down and he agreed, a White House official said.
On Monday, President Barack Obama is to unveil his plans for the auto industry, including a response to a request for additional funds by GM and Chrysler. The plan is based on recommendations from the Presidential Task Force on the Auto Industry, headed by the Treasury Department.
The White House confirmed Wagoner was leaving at the government’s behest after The Associated Press reported his immediate departure, without giving a reason.
The President of the United States of America is literally forcing a company to fire their CEO so they can get more bailout money instead of letting them fucking fail. HOW GOD-DAMN MANY LINES DOES THIS ONE ACT CROSS? Buying union votes, tampering with private industry to such an astonishing degree, strong-arming, robbing taxpayers...the list goes on and on and on.
Jesus Christ. I hardly know what to think anymore. I can’t believe people are willing to accept this as normal and necessary and the way things should be happening. You’d have to be some kind of dumbass to think this was a good idea. Regardless of how incompetent Wagoner may be, it is NOT the President’s place to staff a company. Fuck, it;s not the President’s place to bail them out over and over again.
This is ridiculous. It’s beyond ridiculous. It’s criminal, and we should not accept this as the new way of doing business in these United States.

B...but it’s hopeful! And changeful! And Obama knows best for us!
I hate to invoke Godwin’s Law, but seriously, is this what living in Germany felt like from 1930 to 1939?
