So just yesterday one of the Big 3 automakers said they are selling two of their corporate jets? A little too late now isn't it? After the Big 3's CEOs arrived in Washington via private jets they were immediately given the roast over as to why they are so out of touch. They tried defending their use of private jets because of "Security concerns." Really? Like they're celebs or rock stars? Who cares if they get kidnapped? It's not like their companies could get any worse off in their absence. I know a ton of MBA candidates who would easily fill their position and this is even before they get a golden parachute. I guess I'm just pissed at the Big 3 because when I first went to buy a car the dealership turned me down saying that I needed more credit or a co-signer. Well GM,Ford and Chrysler I can think of several c-signers to help you out with your problem. How about Exxon, Mobile, Chevron, Shell, BP, Citgo, Conoco and Sunoco to name a few?

Why not ask Alaska to bail you out? The governor there can 'drill baby drill' for you once you get a hard on from her offer. Just a thought. Maybe if Detroit made vehicles that depend less on oil and more along the lines of hybrids America wouldn't be passing you up for better product overseas. So file for bankruptcy and reorganize and maybe we'll come back to buying your product. They only bailout Congress should even consider is that of helping your employees retrain so that they can build vehicles that don't resemble their CEO: dinosaurs.
