Brian Deese, who interrupted his law school career, is the little-seen force behind the revamping of the American auto industry.
But that, in short, is the job description for Brian Deese, a not-quite graduate of Yale Law School who had never set foot in an automotive assembly plant until he took on his nearly unseen role in remaking the American automotive industry.

Lemme see if I got this straight. GM is on the verge of bankruptcy so asks the government for a bail out. The government tosses in billions, fires the CEO and instills government bureaucrats to run it. Three months later GM goes bankrupt.
Yet the union gets off pretty good. Why didn't the government just pay off the union directly?

A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

I'm predicting a massive failure of the Obama Administration: unemployment and inflation both much worse than Jiminy Carter. This bodes well indeed for the rise of conservatism in American politics for decades.

I asked Republicans that question for 6 years while repubs had complete control.When does it finally become the responsibility of the brilliant and the enlightened, the Party in complete charge?
The Iraq war started in that window but now it is somehow Pelosi's fault?

I wasn't aware that they had complete control, claimed intellectual mastery or had the economy in a tailspin. Nice dodge of my question though.
Are you making the absurd claim that the economic failings and mess we are in have come about since january of this year?When does it finally become the responsibility of the brilliant and the enlightened, the Party in complete charge?
This is about the success or failure of an entire nation. The time for partisan politics as usual is gone. If this folds us up there won't be a later.
You are either part of the problem or part of the solution. Choose wisely.
