He’s Fired!!!
Such spinning in the political world is going on now and I am sure there will be more to come over this week.
Well if you haven’t been listening to the news over the past few days, actually this past Sunday, is when the proverbial feces hit the fan.
Yes Virgina, Congress and President Obama have asked the CEO of GM (General Motors) to step down. That’s it dude you’re outta here!
Rick Wagoner, CEO of GM has been relieve of his 9 plus year tenure at GM.
In a news conference on Monday, March 30th President Barack Obama laid out the plans to move forward and why Wagoner was removed from his tour of duty. When I saw the news on the net on Sunday I was numb. Not from the shock of him being let go but from the thought that something is being done, someone is listening and it is going to be darkest before dawn.
There was no condemnation against Wagoner. There was a urgent recognition for a new change over next 60 days for the money to produce a better business plan and clean up balance sheets.
I couldn’t wait to hear what President Barack had to say! I was waiting and waiting. Here it is below see and hear for yourself.
So my mind went wondering. Why? Well I know that if you ask the government for something the government is going to want something in return. Can you say student federal grants? Title 1 monies and the list can go on. Some would call that accountability of some sort. I am not quite convinced of that but it behooves one to be aware of this commitment up front if you are asking the government for help. Just like when you apply for a loan, credit card, mortgage etc you get the point.
Is this something that Wagoner expected while continuously asking for billions and billions of bailout money? Was he paying attention?
What of Chrysler?
Stay tuned for Part Two……

THE ASU HONOR needs to be given in Shirley chisholms’ name: she was the First and the Best trailblazer for Change in america and american Politics. The scholarship should be dedicated to The Firt geound breker in american modern history Congresswomwn/U.S. Representative and presidential Candidate Shirley Chisholm.
Does Race still Matter? How Barack is rewriting…. (U.S. News & World Report’s)…No…How the Media is rewriting the rules.If I see another magazine cover with Barack Obamas’ face plastered all over it… I may just throw up…don’t you think the public is sick of the over exposure of Barack Obama and the under-exposure or cover up of world history- political pioneer Shirley Chisholm’s contributions to this country. let us not get into the issues of the dummying down of America by the media, but let us get into having the media publish the realities of the political history of this country.On the Issue of Race, let us not just publish the latest political celebrity on the cover page for the hopeful sake of sales.Let’s give America – the new generation, a political leadership/history lesson on the person who was the original Change Agent and Broke down all of the barriers which Black Americans and women face and changed America forever…Congresswomen Shirley Chisholm.Now I know white America likes to live in denial of many things.But Shirley Chisholm took the old America of the past 50’s and 60’s and created a NEW ERA in American politics.Let us give credit and justice where credit is due….Although Barack Obama is the latest Black American political figure, he is very, very, very, very far from being the greatest…Shirley Chisholm gave America the change to become a united country so let us not keep the country divided covering up her magnificent, ground breaking and unprecedented campaign.She was the underdog who changed the Presidential Completion of America Forever and made world history, She brought Black America and Women into the world of Presidential and World Politics.. and let us admit and not forget that she may have not won the nomination but she was still a winner for those who were looking for change in the American political Landscape.
