While I do not support the call for removal of the Big 3 CEOs by Congress (who are just plain idiots, IMHO), who would you get to replace them?
No Business person of any caliber would pursue or want to step into any of these companies and have to deal with Congress, labor, fiscal, economic, sales, image, and the host of other problems.
No CEO would want his legacy to be, "I saved GM but had to cut 25,000 workers, slash pay, shutdown manufacturering divisions, and eliminate our dealer network".
I think the best decision would be to maintain current leadership and allow them to prove once again why they are in the positions they are in. These individuals did not get to where they are by being morons. Maybe they've just had their heads up their ass for a while but I'm pretty sure they have been extracted as of recent!!
Remember too that a "known evil" is sometimes better than the "unknown".
