Claire ex-axHmm... confused, when it was Bush who loaned GM $9.4 billion, not Obama.
But Sleuth's comment about the unions and Obama is interesting; some people are saying that the unions are the reason Obama won't waive rules imposed by the Jones Act to bring in some of the world’s most advanced oil skimming ships from overseas to help in the Gulf.[/quote]
True, but it was the Obama administration that engineered to 'kinda sorta' special Chapter 11 bankruptcy during 2009 that left the US government and the unions in control and the 'legitimate' creditors out in the cold.
I would have to say that one of my chief beefs with Mr. Obama is his fondness for and reliance on labor unions. He is no "New Democrat" wrt the unions.
