Harvard, Obama
Harvard, Bush
Harvard, Wagoner

Is that a hint?

Er....good point.

Gets worse if you dig into it further, for example, Chryslers CEO is Harvard
and a former Secretary of the Treasury under Bush is in the fold. Even Dan
Quile(?) is in there somewhere with Cerberus, Caryle and GMAC well
represented.

If perception could convict, these people would be brought up on charges of
treason.

Just last week GMy closed a truck manufacturing plant in Ontario.
I think the Canadian gov't should forget about stuffing billions into
this dead horse and encourage the best of the Asian companies to build
plants here.

The Asian automanufacturers will go where the labor laws are most
favorable. This means as far away from the UAW/CAW as they can get. The
European and Asian auto manufacturers have already proven that there is a
viable non-union workforce in the southeastern US.

They will go where they can get a favorable position on cost, efficiency and
quality with a view that is longer than Wagoner's nose.

Practicing business the way it should be. Something the CAW/UAW will never
understand while they have their hands out for taxpayers moneys.

From the people that brought you melamine in baby formula? You buy one
first.

Well, the UAW have been building them for years. Look where they've
gotten GM.

Stand corrected. How the hell did he get through that program, or any
program for that matter. My regard for Harvard has just dropped
several notches. I count many graduates as my friends and have
generally been impressed with their thinking skills, world view. They
failed Bush in a big way. He's gone on to successfully wreck several
businesses and a country.

Bush actually had slightly better grades than his contemporary Gore,
but I agree they were both well connected and that is how they got
past admissions.

It's one thing to get past admissions, it's another to graduate.

Both Yale and Harvard are known for rigor. I haven't a clue how Bush
could have mustered any rigor beyond drinking and snorting in the most
concentrated fashion.

Gore is obviously capable of rigor.

Gore flunked out of divinity school and law school.
