I had a hard time when O made these _loans_ for automakers. Torn between if
it was the right thing to do or not. The thing I saw as a positive, was
these were _LOANS_, not _GIFTS_ like the previous administration gave out.
Considering the outcome of the automakers, O did the right thing, and the
taxpayer made interest on the _LOANS_ to boot!

Nonsense, the bankruptcy was a gift to the unions who came out
owning the single biggest part of the automakers. I have some trouble
with general idea (although I don't think there was much of a choice for
the government being the arm for debtor-in-possession financing). It was
the end run around traditional bankruptcy law that I was completely
against.


I agree, a job well done!
I agree with a "so far". We aren;t out yet.
