To put Mulally and Wagoner in the same category is a grievous insult to Mr. Mulally. Wagoner has been sucking the GM hog dry for his entire career, has been Commander in Chief since 2000 while Mulally was brought in to fix the problem.

Wagoner belongs in jail for the equity damage done to GM. In Mulally’s case, it may be that he was brought in to Captain the Titanic after it had already hit the iceberg, but he seems to be making a valiant effort.

If a bailout materializes, I’d suggest a combined GM/Ford/Chrysler corporation run by Mulally. He has now had a glimpse behind the curtain of Detroit but has not been there so long that he has been tainted. Any executive in the combined company who has an accounting, PR, “Brand Management”, Marketing or legal background should be shown the door and let the manufacturing and engineering people do their jobs.

I don’t understand a lot of the words typed up there. I guess I’m not best/brightest?

When watching CNBC and listening to Phil, I thought he was really a spokesman for GM and Ford and not a reporter at all, just my opinion, and I am not a reporter in any sense either.

To state that Mulally’s actions and Wagoner’s actions are the same is absurd. Mulally has been brought in and has been making changes, we assume, as best and quickly as he can against the old established guard and ways. Wagoner has done his best to perpetuate their way of life and when he gets an inkling that this might not be the case, he simply sticks his head in the sand and holds out his tin cup, repeating over and over ~~There’s no place like home~~ ~~It wasn’t me, it was the one-armed man~~ that Chapter 11 is not an option. The actions of the two men are pretty far removed. Sad to see those who can’t see the real picture unable to make the separation.

all of NBC “money channels” along with “money honeys” have been off the mark. I am surprised anyone is listening or watching (well maybe watching “honey moneys”).
Robert, other shows have better babes, get over it.
