Dictator Obama Forces CEO Chairman out

Support the government forcing his "resignation"? Anyone would be crazy to think it's ok for King Obama to do half the things he's already done... but he absolutely has no right to take away a man's job, no matter what the situation. Socialism? How about dictatorship?

I really just heard about it this morning and haven't read anything, I just seen the scroll at the bottom of the screen. I honestly don't know if I support it or not but, I lost my job almost 2 years ago and haven't been able to find another one since. My college degree is worthless when unemployment is about 24% in my area.

Regarding The Constitution - I can understand why some of you are confused on this subject since your were brainwashed for eight years by Georgie Bush. Georgie Bush and his cronies abandoned The Constitution on the day that he was sworn into office. The swearing in is simply a pledge to uphold The Constitution, that is what the President does, with the exception of G. W. Bush. President Obama will do that, however you have no understanding what that means. When have you ever seen a President hit the ground running and in two months have a new plan to solve a very real problem each week and share the details about it publicly? This man is no slacker. This is a serious time in our country and the problems were left to him by G. W. Bush and the Republican Congress. While the Democrats were in office the last two years of his Presidency, Bush VETO'd everthing that he opposed. His opposition was not thought out and everything he did was on a whim. No care for the lives of his citizens, the economy, or our reputation and standard as a World Power. All of these things were inherited by Obama and it is something that he is trying to fix. The Republicans are doing nothing but whining. There is still too much Partisanship in Government and the whining here, is a contribution to the problem. GOOD LEADERS MAKE ADJUSTMENTS AS SITUATIONS CHANGE. LIFE IS FLUID, THUS THE LEADER NEEDS TO BE. As far as I am concerned they can all be fired since the creation of a need for billions of dollars to survive for a few months is ludicrous. Look to the foreign car companies. They are surviving in this country. AIG's management should be fired with no compensation package, no more than you or I would get in the unemployment line. The CEO of GM got a very lucrative severance package. Lucky him. I am not interested in hearing any more whining from any of you. I for one am willing to see what Obama can do in the next four years. I certainly am not going to make judgments in the first 60 days. Very few people here would have their briefcases unpacked by now.

This is one of the reasons he get away with everything he does. You write about a very scary subject and instead of talking about it you talk about collages degrees. I don't care how Many degrees you have. I want to know how long are we going to put up with this. He's only been in office 100 days and already America is in the toilet. He keeps blaming Bush but fails to admit it was the demoncrats(not a miss spelling) who got us into this mess. In 03 Bush warned them Fanni ma and Fanni mar were doing wrong. He was told that he was saying that to make the demoncrats look bad. America had better wake up soon or we will be praying to Allah. He has still not shown his birth certificate. If it was a Republican you better believe there would be screaming from the left.

If you are talking about the CEO of GM I heard that on Fox news yesterday. I don't know if Obama forced it or not but the way they talked on Fox he was a big part in the CEO being fired. Personally I don't think this is fair. The CEO of GM takes orders just like the people that work for him. The big investors are the ones that actually run GM and a lot of other big business in the US. They also run this entire country through our government. These people are the reason we are still driving 3,000 lb cars that get 20 MPG or less. They also control the oil market and it would cost them some of their profit to allow the Auto makers to build cheaper cars that will get more MPG. The CEO of GM just runs the day to day of operations of GM. He has nothing to say about the kind of cars that they build. Art

I really do not know a whole lot about this, but if the man was doing his job the right way, and if the company was not asking the government for bail out money because of their incompetence, Their would be no reason for them to be asked to step down. In my opinion it is no different from anyone else getting fired from any job because they are not doing it. Thats the way it goes if you don't do your job, You get fired. Why should it make a difference just because its a rich CEO. They asked the government to step in and help them, so now they should not cry because that is what is happening...........

I just got back to mylot and as soon as I saw the topic..even without the name I knew it had to be ParaTed2k. I wouldn't say Obama is a dictator...I don't know that he forced the CEO to get out.. I think he asked him..There is a big difference.. He didn't threaten him with jail time or anything like that.

This may be a little off topic, but what happens to GM car owners all over the world. I own a Chevy here in India and am not sure what is gonna happen to GM India. Can someone enlighten me.

I think Obama went to far with this. I really think he has socialist tendencies. This should not be a function of government. I think there are too many intrusion into businesses.

That does not sound right. The only way a CEO Chairman deserves to lose his job is because the other members of the society vote him out and only if he is neglecting his duties. Obama has not right to fire this man. What? Did he actually insult or say bad things about the 'beloved leader?" Was he too conservative? Did he actually say that throwing money after bad was a bad idea? Did he say that Obama's policies would lead to ruin? Did he actually encourage people to stand up to the great dictator? Come on. I am wondering. I would like to see the link that shows where this injustice was done.

Bailout, stimulus, blah. Some iffy things, only a few decent things, the rest is all bad -- worse than what's already happening. Better off with someone IGNORING the problem, and that bit surprises me the most. But I hush, and watch, and wait...and pounce on what looks the most glaringly fascist and hope that, given time, people get the picture. It is...unfortunately, a game I seem stuck with playing. The other day my thought was this; "Why can't the government ever try to help us without trying to control us first? I'm sure they could do it if they wracked their brains hard enough." My Mom, hearing me mumble this, answered; "Because, honey, they haven't been asked to do that in years."

ParaTed - You never disappoint. My response is included in my comments to Kenny Rose. We do not give out Billions of tax payers money and let the companies run the same as they have. I guess you have not noticed the anger of the country in response the bonuses to AIG's RETENTION BONUSES (11 people had already left). I guess you did not listen to the people when they voted in the last TWO ELECTIONS nor did you listen to the inauguration, 2 MILLION PEOPLE stood stilent with hope listening to Obama. There were no fights, and people cheered at the right moments. I am sure that tells you nothing. I surely am glad that I rarely read my daily newsletter, since things have not changed here on myLot.
