Threats, threats, threats… yawn

Prior to Barack Obama’s announcement today outlining the conditions for which government loans will be made to GM and Chrysler, I think both those companies thought they were the ones calling the shots. Well, that was before today’s forced resignation of GM CEO Rick Wagoner by Barack Obama as a condition for funds.

Neither Chrysler, or GM, are in any position to start making ham-fisted demands. This is the time for serious soul-searching and a humble acceptance of responsibility. Yes, it’s true neither Chrysler or GM caused the economic collapse, they are still responsible for not being in a better competitive position when the economy died.

So, please spare us the drama and get back to work, Chrysler. Otherwise, here’s an apple and a map. Don’t let the door hit your behind on the way out.
