The MI democrats asked for this bailout. McCain refused. Obama Endorses. Would this help Detroit? Or is it putting a band-aid on a laceration? The way the auto industry is going, is it worth it?

My tax money to bail out wasteful unionized companies who pay their executives multi million dollar salaries + bonuses ! Obama is a greenhorn who is just a little too wet behind the ears to be in charge of the white house.

Waste of money. Might as well patch up a leaking dam with some bubble gum.

That was only a loan guarantee, I haven't read what Obama's plan is.

Many, when the $$$ go overseas, refer to it as foreign policy.

When it goes to Americans they refer to it as welfare or Mothers hide your daughters........................socialism
