Question: Why ask the Auto CEO for his resignation, and not the Banking CEOs?

[FrenchieCat]

But who said it was over? :shrug:

Obama met with Mr. Wagoner for the first time on March 12th, 2009.

Obama met with Bank CEOs for the first time on March 27th, 2009.

Was Obama supposed to fire whomever he had determined all on the same day?

As for what has been done thus far in reference to CEOs:

AIG, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Merrill Lynch CEOs have long been replaced.
Their dismissal was a stipulation for those institutions accepting government monies.
The current CEOs are cleaning up the mess.

Compensation/bonuses are capped for financial institutions who have received bailout funds.
This measure was part of the Stimulus bill.

So why all of the analysis that only go minute to minute, instead of us waiting and watching?

The Media is doing this, but I'm noticing some are doing it here too.

Obama doing something on one day doesn't end there.
Have we simply become non thinking reactionary fools?

1. I wonder if the bank CEO's are a little "concerned" now. hmmm. n/t

[FrenchieCat]

5. The only ones who wouldn't wonder

aren't thinking.

I was discussing all of what is going on DU and in the media with the play by play reactionaries.

He told me that the only action one need to follow are Obama's actions, not what every one has to say about them. He stated that Obama became President because he's smart and because he's got skills.

2. Most of the financial CEO's were already forced to resign.

Merrill Lynch's CEO: Forced to resign
Fannie's CEO: Forced to resign
Freddi's CEO: Forced to resign
Citi's CEO: Forced to resign
AIG's CEO: Forced to resign
Bear Stearns's CEO: Unemployed
Lehman's CEO: Unemployed

What people are missing is that the financial CEO's were held accountable long before Rick "$70 Billion Lost in Two Years" Wagoner was.

3. It's like people missed the last year. n/t

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

4. Yeah, it's a transparent canard.

Total bullshit.

[FrenchieCat]

6. and notice our newsmedia not reporting this.....

in fact, they are implying a disconnect where none exist.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

7. I'm more interested with the freepers promoting it on DU.

[FrenchieCat]

8. and on my television, like Schuster just did.

Guess it is time for a letter to that sorry ass of an excuse passing as a reporter!

He's just like the rest of them,
just plays us better.

10. Divide and Conquer

I guess democrats are more susceptible to it than republicans are.

[FrenchieCat]

13. Many whoop and holler for the "Freedom to Criticize",

but don't know shit about the facts or lackthereof they use for such criticism.

Make's one want to puke! :puke:

[Uzybone]

9. Most of the financial henchmen are already out

How is the issue of the day on the internet "left" about why Obama hasn't fired bank CEOs, instead of will this plan work and how can we save the unionized workers? Have we lost all perspective?

[FrenchieCat]

11. Because a lot of simpleton who pretend to know things they don't

are to be found on both sides of the aisle.....that's why.

They wait to be fed their minute by minute pieces of disinformation,
and wait for the media to lead them by the nose.

[FriendlyReminder]

12. I think it's an absolute shame that the Board of Directors didn't fire the guy

months/years ago.

[FrenchieCat]

14. He's been there since when? This Wagoner guy?

[FriendlyReminder]

26. Started at GM in the late 70's and rose to the top in 2000. Chairman of the Board in 2003

[leftofthedial]

15. Why not ask Wall Street workers to take huge layoffs and pay cuts

before giving the banks hundreds of billions as was required of auto workers?

[Undercurrent]

16. Sheesh!

I've been hearing this claptrap all day in TV. Hyperventilation central (well next to DU hehe).

Anyway, many heads of financial institutions have already been given the bum's rush. But that's not good enough for the knee jerk crowd. They want Obama to do everything personally on TV, or it means Obama is weak/in bed with whoever/a skunk...name your insult.

[FrenchieCat]

17. Now, we are comparing this industry vs. that industry,

just like the media wants us to.

Because at the end of the day, nothing like good ol' unreasonable outrage to
solve a crisis. :eyes:

So many pieces of shit, so little time.

[Undercurrent]

18. I know.

The media is good at one thing. Whipping the rabble into a frenzy. It amazes me how people fall for the same old trickery time and time again.

[PopSixSquish]

19. Now Miss Frenchie Cat - Please Don't Start Researching Stuff and Posting It

you'll spoil all the fun...

BTW - I always figured that once the Election and Inaguration were over and President Obama and the administration got down to the actual business of governing, DU would have a collective nervous breakdown. I hate being proven right.

Your little girl is so sweet (not so little anymore as I understand it) I smile every time I see that picture.

[FrenchieCat]

20. Thanks.....

They do grow up fast.

And she is still as sweet as she looks! :)

[invictus]

21. Why? Because the banking CEOs are richer and more powerful.

nt

[FrenchieCat]

22. No. Because you are misinformed.

Sad.

[HopeOverFear]

23. ....and I give you, Exhibit A LOL

[Top Cat]

24. Thanks FrenchieCat.... We seem to want everything righted today and not willing to give the Pres. a

chance other than to second guess everything he does. I'm beginning to wonder how in the HELL he won with so much criticism so early from those that helped elect him.

[uponit7771]

25. FrenchieCat = DU's Lazy MsM checker. Thank you for your sober well informed analysis, I was waiting

...all day to read something like this not believing a DAMN thing the Sloppy MsM puts out...they are so lazy\sloppy\bought off\biased.

[taught_me_patience]

27. Ken Lewis was pressured by the government

to purchase Merrill Lynch. If they force is resignation, he'll tell-all about all the shady deals that were going on in the background. Basically... "keep your job and keep quiet"
