Still some thing missing here… I’m not buying Obama/Task Force gloom & doom crap.
Why isn’t Chrysler screaming that Monday’s announcement put them at a huge disadvantage in it’s negotiation with Fiat???
Speaking of Fiat… Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne was aware the rules (percent’s) were going to change last Friday: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Fiat-CEO-touts-benefits-of-apf-14770043.html : and doesn’t appear to have a problem with it. Nor has Fiat denied the “frame work” completion statement … come to think of it, neither has the Treasury who has supposedly given its O.K.. ???
So… Obama tells Chrysler & the public “30 days to merge, or Chrysler’s done!”. You couldn’t possibly whip-up a merger of these two companies in 30 days, unless, this deal was/is in its final stages! Now… does this statement give him a much needed “win” for forcing a merger and saving UAW jobs? OR … set up the tax payer for the addition bridge loan funds??? If Chrysler lands on that road... it'll serve both!
How about this “Win” for Obama… Obama forces out Wagoner, puts his team in GM… and saves the legendary company from BK and thus saves the UAW, suppliers… blah, blah, blah. I can see the red cape hang’n from his shoulders as he signs off the bridge loan.
And how about this little conspiracy theory: Obama & Gettelfinger agree to a small concession as long as… Wagoner is dumped! This gives Gettelfinger justification on the soon to be negotiated concession and a little revenge on Wagoner for UAW members.
Oh yeah another thing… if Chrysler is in worse shape than GM… why the hell are we getting half (30 days) the time to regroup that GM is getting??? WTF… who made up that rule???
ONE LAST THING … why are all of us domestic car folks getting our panties all in a bunch??? Think about it… Chrysler fails & Fiat w/the financial help of our Government steps in immediately for the hand-off. GM BK’s in a Government assisted structure…. and Obama then introduces America to a Socialized Domestic Auto Industry! You import folks should be chit’n your pants on this one!!! NEVER again will we hear the media Trash Talk the domestic car companies!!! And… Motor Trend announces more awards for the domestic car companies than ever before.
Yep, you guess it… I’ve had a couple beers! My attitude is better X-Man… come on April!!! ;)
