A few things......the US owns 61% of GM as of now, and "may" sell "some" of its holdings when GM sells some preferred stock this year, but NOTHING is firm.

Whatever the outcome of that venture.....your statement is akin to saying that how can you criticize George Bush as such a bad man when there is all that good he has done with AIDS in Africa.

READ OBAMA'S OWN WORDS in his books.....dont listen to his campaign stuff, but try to get to know what he really believes. Prior to becoming President, he had no job, no mentor, no associates that were not considered of socialist ilk,and that is a fact.

Now, not sure what defintion of socialism we are using...that is always his cop out. He favors redistribution of wealth...he favors control of business and more government control of our life...that,for me, is close enough !!!

My gosh, this label was on him before he was the candidate..this is nothing new...everyone knew but didnt care....this is not some new label for this man !
