Cheney: Bush passed buck on GM
By: Andy Barr
June 3, 2009 10:57 AM EST

Former Vice President Dick Cheney says that former President George W.
Bush did not want to be the one who “pulled the plug” on General
Motors and instead decided to pass on the issue to President Barack
Obama.

“I thought that, eventually, the right outcome was going to be
bankruptcy,” Cheney said of the company during the second part of
interview with Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren that aired Tuesday night.

“[GM] had to go through such a dramatic restructuring to have any
chance of survival that they had to be able to renegotiate labor
contracts and so forth,” he said. “And the president decided that he
did not want to be the one who pulled the plug just before he left
office.”

Cheney said that rather than acting on GM, the Bush administration
“put together a package that tided GM over until the new
administration had a chance to look at it.”

The former vice president stated that the choice was made in order to
aid the Obama administration, thinking that forcing GM to restructure
late in the Bush term would have dumped on Obama the “first crises the
new administration would have to deal with.”

“These are big issues and [Bush] wouldn't be there through the process
of managing it, but in effect, would have sort of pulled the plug on
GM,” Cheney said, adding that he and Bush wanted to allow Obama’s team
to “decide what they wanted to do.”

At the time, I was posting about how if these idiot
republicans were demanding that GM go bankrupt...
they should let it go bankrupt under George Bush.

They didn't like that idea.

Every republican was demanding that GM be
given just enough to let them hold on until they
could go belly up under Obama so they could
blame Obama for GM going under. I knew
what was going on, and I posted exactly that
at the time.

Republicans do not do a God Damn thing that
benefits America. Not one single damn thing!
All they do is start wars, burn down black
churches, shoot people in others, torture people,
spend America into debt while getting absolutely
nothing for the money they spent, and generally
calling anyone who wants to help America to
become more profitable for working Americans...
a traitor!

Under what delegated authority is the Federal government permitted to
dictate the means of production for a private entity?

Just one of the many crises that Bush/Cheney left for Obama and
America. The fact that Cheney is still speaking out in public just
shows he has more balls than brains.

Every time I have heard Cheney speak this year, he uses the phrase "Tax

that have to pay a bit more are those with high salaries. As for the
"Spend" part, over 90% of the National Debt was created by Republicans.

You left out the most important part....GM is Obama's failure at this point. Both
Chrysler and GM should have simpley been allowed by Obama to go through a bankruptcy
and then reorganize. Obama chose otherwise and guess what? Ended up with two auto
companies for himself and his union buddies....AAC

Only under communism.

Conclusion: there is no such delegated authority, therefore the actions
by the Federal government are illegal and contrary to the established
designs of this nation.

LOL...just freaking amazing.

Your fearless leader Cheney just said that Bush passed the stinking
pile of crap to Obama.

Do I need to get a child to explain it to you?

Obama is trying to save what is left of the industry...after Bush ran
it into the ground for eight long years.

It wasn't Bush's to pass. GM is a private entity. Are you advocating
communism?

Obama has absolutely NO delegated authority to save the industry. Obama
stepping in is nothing short of communism.

Gore had more to do w/ nuking the auto industry than anyone. Thank him.

The facts are not on your side, my friend. Instead of perpetuating
propaganda, educate yourself and take an enlightened stand; you will be
a better person because of it.

Not even comparable. Was the regime then nationalizing General Motors

Nope, but it did control what, when and how was produced. The situation
was other, and the needs of the society (directed to the war effort
then) were different, but that doesn't change the fact that during WW2
the American was a planned econom, without being communist.

Unconstitutionally and illegally. You better wake up, TMT. When the
fedgov blatantly seizes power on that level, your personal freedoms are
at risk of becoming whatever a bureaucrat deigns to grant you.

The CEO's of major US corporations are the ones who seem to have
no understanding of how business works. The were given free reign
from 2000 until 2006 (no EPA suits, no SEC enforcement, a muzzled
FDA) and look what the corrupt bastards did to our economy. I'll take
my chances with some government checks on these crooks.

Spilman,

The fedgov passes law after law, and forces the businesses to adapt to
whatever ridiculous fashionable, politically correct mandates that the
congress critters want. CEO's are paid to ensure the profitability of
their companies. Should they then simply let the company go under, or
should they adapt to what the fedgov wants?

When the fedgov got into the housing market, and forced banks to make
subprime loans, it touched off one hell of a domino effect of business
collapses. See the foreclosure market, the construction industry, and
the states' lack of tax revenues.

When the fedgov set up the tax codes so that a biz can put its
manufacturing offshore, lay off Americans, and so make a profit, it set
up other businesses to go under once people no longer had the
well-paying jobs and incomes to buy consumer goods. See houses and cars.

When the fedgov continues to do deficit spending beyond any hope
whatsoever of paying off these deficits, it touches off a huge wave of
inflation. See food costs, up 20% since a year ago. See all of those
old retirees, trying to get by on a $500 per month SS check.

When the fedgov failed in administration after administration to set up
a true energy program to ensure the US' independence from another
country's control, it set the stage for that $4.00 per gallon gasoline
debacle that will come again soon. Did you see the pretty solid gold
necklace that Obama was just given by an Arab? Where do you think the
money for that bauble came from? Have you seen all the pretty buildings
that the Arab princes are building in their countries? The US can no
longer afford such things.

Look up in the sky. The vultures are circling the dying carcass of the
Republic. Pretty soon, the vultures will land and it won't be a good
time here in the remains of what was once the world's best country.

You really don't know what you're talking about. Typical democrat. The unions
ruined the auto industry with their outrageous demands.

As for the economy. The country had a robust economy until 2006, the year the

It is true, Cheney did say that he and Bush decided not to make a

I agree it's true...however, the decent thing to do was to let the incoming president
decide how he wanted to deal with the problem and not stick him with a decision he
didn't want. That's why they did what they did.

Had Bush made a decision that Obama was stuck with, we'd still be having this
conversation, however you democrats would be complaining because they hadn't let
Obama make a decision regarding a matter that would impact his administration...AAC

"Lenin called them "useful idiots," those people living in
liberal democracies who by giving moral and material support
to a totalitarian ideology in effect were braiding the rope that
would hang them. Why people who enjoyed freedom and prosperity worked
passionately to destroy both is a fascinating question, one still with us
today. Now the useful idiots can be found in the chorus of appeasement,
reflexive anti-Americanism, and sentimental idealism trying to inhibit
the necessary responses to another freedom-hating ideology, radical Islam"
