    Obama (and W.) want to help GM: GM needs to REORGANIZE!!! NOT GOVERNMENT DEBT!!!

    PLEASE!!! This is VERY important!! They need to use chapter 11: we will all be MUCH better off in the long run. If you think we should lend them billions of dollars because they are "too big to fail" then you really miss the point.

    GM is financially way out of balance; they will be much stronger after bankruptcy than after a "bail out" consisting of loans. There are much better ways to help the economy with tax payer capital.

    REALLY IMPORTANT!!!

    The plural of president-elect is presidents-elect, not president-elects. Come on, you can't catch something as glaring as that? Who proofreads these articles, anyway, before they're posted?
