Obama, the Republican 5th Column?

There were not and are not millions and millions of employees in those companies, whose unions are just as guilty for this mess as anyone. And whichever company picked up the pieces would have also picked up many of the employees that worked for them.

I'm sure people in GM car dealerships, auto parts, and so on all don't count.
The unions aren't responsible for Fannie and Freddy's irresponsible lending practices, the US auto car company's refusal to make good and competative vehicles, or any reason that anyone thus far can provide for contributing to the economic depression we've gotten into.

And you're certain that any company that would hve picked up the pieces to all these companies would have picked up the employees also? Right... right... just like how the Bush tax cuts created jobs over the past decade... oh wait...

Why is it that conservatives think people in government power are the devil but people in charge of multi-billion dollar corperations are saints who can do no wrong? Apparently power and money is only corrupting when you're running a state or nation.

Did they get bailed out? GM cut many of them loose based on the politcal affiliations of the owners and not on the strength of their sales. Are the parts company still supplying parts to GM? Or did some new entity take over?
