I-I-I, Me-Me-Me

My Auto Task Force
And so today, I am announcing that my administration will…
In this context, my administration will offer General Motors adequate working capital over the next 60 days. During this time, my team will be working closely with GM to produce a better business plan.
I am committed to doing all I can to see if a deal can be struck…
Now, I know that when people even hear the word “bankruptcy” it can be a bit unsettling, so let me explain what I mean. What I am talking about is..
What I am not talking about is a process where a company is broken up, sold off, and no longer exists. And what I am not talking about is having a company stuck in court for years…
It is my hope that the steps I am announcing…
let me say it as plainly as I can …
I’m directing my team to take several steps.
I want to work with Congress to identify parts of the Recovery Act..
I am designating a new Director of Recovery for Auto Communities and Workers…
I-I-I wish he-he-he would STFU-STFU-STFU. Obama knows how to make a car that millions of Americans without any money are going to buy while placating the unions?
When does the head of the Union get fired? Oh, yea. The inmates are now running the asylum. Go rent ‘Gung Ho’ and let me how that turns out.

I noticed that during the press conference. Very unsettling.

I fully anticipated some heads to roll after the bailouts but I assumed that the people replacing them would be, you know, qualified by some succession management plan.
Not some bureaucratic Car Czar crony who made the right donation. GM’s stock is going to officially be worthless and all those people are going to be laid off now after they got bailout money and it is all going to be Obama’s fault.
You’re welcome, Michigan. You asked for it!
The UAW has negotiated their way into the unemployment line and evidently every other US auto manufacturer is about to follow suit.

Michigan gets everything they deserve.
And I’m sure glad that this new pres of ours isn’t a narcissist, or I might be worried. I mean, couple that with the fact that he’s completely cool with infanticide, wants to disarm us all and his buddies have a history of wanting to kill 25 million of us who disagree with them.
Thank goodness he really cares, or I might be worried.

Greetings:
I went to high school with a guy who was, as we used to say, “full of himself.”
When he would go into his act, someone else would start up this little ditty:
And I say to myself,
I’m wonderful, wonderful,
Oh, so wonderful am I.
It didn’t have much effect on him, but it sure was fun.

I read his two autobiographies. In the books he does not come across as full of himself.

I caught that, Cranky. That is subtle comedy gold. Nicely played.
March 31st, 2009 at 1:06 pm
Cranky, I only caught half of that. Checking for blonde hairs now…

Thanks folks, I’m here the whole two weeks!

“You’re welcome, Michigan. You asked for it!”
Yep, it is the honest truth. A lot of union members around these parts get paid so well that it makes those of us with college degrees and 18 years experience wonder why the hell we went through all the trouble only to become salaried.
And those union members vote time and time again for the democrats.
Just a note… I’m a card-carrying narcissist, and Obama makes the rest of us look bad. It’s terrible. Now I have to work twice as hard to appear half as egocentric.
Cranky, you have just raised expectations! Well done, in a non-narcissistic way.

It’s all settled now. Obama’s picked some Terrapin egghead who has experience getting people on the dole to fix GM. He and his crack team have a plan to fix GM in 60 days.
Where have these people been all my life?!? I’ve been working on my basement for a year and a half. They can solve world hunger over lunch.
People are starting to ask why the UAW head didn’t get sacked. They responded that it’s because he’s done such a fantastic job this year.
Apparently my premise was wrong. I was gauging “fantastic job” as something other than your company being in the shitter and needing government cheese to keep the lights on.

Brian, I guess you simply needed an adjustment to your expectations and viola! suddenly a shit sandwich means happiness and prosperity!

And here I was thinking that a frosted dog-turd is still a dog-turd, michele. I just need to turn on my rainbow/unicorn/hope/change machine and I’ll be happyprosperous. Sweet.
