Big 3 CEO's (and UAW CEO) answering questions on CNBC (yesterday) - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

*TAG UR IT* · 11-19-2008, 11:49 AM

Turn it on CNBC. It's been on for a while. GM, Ford, Chrylser, and UAW CEO's are answering all questions (the best they can) to get the funding necessary to continue on.

This time around, Wagoner was able to make it clear about, "Polls and statistics show that, IF a company were to go bankrupt, 80% of people would not buy from that company. What do you think would happen to us then?"

And another point was made that the playing field was NOT level...like Scott had been saying.

Good stuff....turn it on!

He probably already has....which is why they signed that contract in 2007...

These senators...especially that Shelby guy...are really ticking me off.

They threw 700 billion to the administration...but they're making a cataclysmic deal over 25 billion like it'll bankrupt the government.

We are trying to watch the incredibly important topic surrounding the life and future of the "Big 3" on CNBC right now. However, commentators CONTINUE to interrupt with the most unimportant topics at THE most important times! I am sick of this! We want to hear and understand what these CEO's have to say in response to VERY important questions and they continue to CUT THEM OFF! Just play the coverage and COMMENT AFTER the session is OVER!!! THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!!!

My complaint to CNBC since the CONTINUE TO INTERRUPT at the most inopportune times ... this is driving me nuts!!

If we watch it online, do we get cut off by commercials and commentators?!?!?

Pay attention everyone. These are the people leading our country. Some good some bad... And some just plain uninformed. Where was all this rhetoric when we truly bailed out the banks at 700bill vice a loan of 25 bill..

We are the country that we are in spite of oursleves.

playhard67 · 11-19-2008, 01:06 PM

You voted for these people! If you want them to do something, call their office! It's a democracy. They do what you want. If you don't tell them what you want, they guess. If you guys aren't calling, emailing, or visiting your elected officials, you should delete every post complaining about the job they're doing.
