I’m probably jumping the gun here but does this sound eerily familiar? Surely President Obama isn’t planning on giving unions the old heave-ho, is he? After all, he has backpedaled on his election promise of repealing DADT.

Obama, bust unions? Nah, surely not! No hidden right-wing tendencies there. But if he starts lying through his teeth, toe-tapping in public bathrooms, wearing diapers during sex, saluting the Ten Commandments, losing billions of dollars in an illegal and unnecessary war he started for no damn good reason, and/or wiping his butt with the Constitution… then we’ll know for sure he’s become a full-fledged republican!

White House questions viability of GM, Chrysler

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is sending a blunt message to Detroit automakers: To survive – and win more government help – they must remake themselves top to bottom. Driving home the point, the White House ousted the General Motors chairman as it rejected GM and Chrysler’s restructuring plans.

Obama is set to elaborate on that message Monday when he announces what his White House told reporters over the weekend: Neither GM nor Chrysler submitted acceptable plans to receive additional federal bailout money.

GM chairman Rick Wagoner became the most conspicuous casualty of that decision, forced out Sunday as the White House indicated Detroit must make management and other changes if it hopes to survive – and that the Obama administration will have a hands-on role in those changes. [...]

Obama said the companies must do more to receive additional financial aid from the government.
