Me either.

Obama wants to screw over the retirees now and take their money away from them on top of all the investor so he can pass out money to his buddies.

His dirty little hands are destroying us from within.

How dare he go after the retirees money.

Not anything new, for sure. As I own a 1981 stepside, shortbed, that's enough. Only used for hauling jobs. I buy Volvo, only. I've got an 82 with 281K+, still get 30 mpg, and a 73 1800ES, don't know about the mileage at the moment, haven't driven it in quite some time.

I'm not even letting the knowledge that General Motors is planning to build cars in China and import them into the United States, influence my decision.
I will buy the best car available for the best price that fits my needs and requirements. If GM makes it, so be it.

Yep, Obama is just pure evil. EVIL I tell you! He's a socialist, a communist, and he was sent here by aliens to destroy the United States!

I have always been a Ford girl, always felt they made a better product, considering they aren't having to be nurse maided by the government and aren't cutting to shreds their employees, seems I was correct.

I agree with you, it is not right to hurt the employees and retirees because they could not handle their money correctly.

Sad.

I already heard that people who are already retired are having their health insurance taken away from them, something they worked alot of years for.

The closest I have been to buying a GM car is my Toyota Tacoma which is built at the NUMMI plant in Fremont, California. So, I can't say 'again'. I was/am opposed to the bailouts so buying a GM car is very difficult to fathom at the moment. But, if I were to purchase a GM vehicle in the future, it would be a Corvette Z06 - that would be nice...

My 2000 nissan frontier has 200000 and probably cost half of what your f150 cost. Please convince me why I should have spent twice as much.
I'd rather save my money and not pay union workers.
