Yeah I had posted it from CNN....dunno...maybe he rethought. I can kind of see what they are worried about....the gov't stepping in and putting higher tarrifs on imports. The irony here is that the "imports" are mostly made by GM and Ford....but they are "American Companies"

Bottom line is that they really are bad companies, who have lost any and all advantages that they used to have. It is no longer enough to be "American" you have to build a quality product and they are LACKING. This is just insane, maybe they should take the time to improve their cars instead of whining about things like employee healthercare. Last time I checked, the "foreign" companies are opening plants and paying American workers with american wages and benefits and are just doing fine.

Bottom line, GM and Ford have inferior products and the solution should be making those products better.
