The auto companies have a business model which is totally unworkable. • Too many employees, too highly paid. Automation is to autos what computers are to millions of other jobs. • Too many dealerships — 15 times as many as Honda and Toyota. • Too many different models — to many parts to make and stock. Cadillac SUV competes with Chevy SUV, Saturn, etc. I opened a magazine last night and the first spread had an ad for GM's Saturn. There were five autos including a sedan, a sporty convertible, a crossover, an SUV and a van. Beside each one was …

If young white voters are "less racist" does that mean Obama was elected because he is less black? Why is half black/half white considered the "first black president"? I am half Swedish if elected would I be the "first Swedish president"? ----------- Ok, with that nonsense out of the way, let's look at real life. Real world results and consequences are not graded on the curve. This is what I see as grading on the curve: Obama the orator : Following the guy who still says," 'merica" and "nuke-yu-ler" and whose principle segue is "aaaa"? Is it a mandate when following …

Obama got my vote once, but not this time. He's obviously bright and very polically savvy, as your article points out. It's not just what he says and does, but what he does not. I resent his blatant pandering to the voters with simple handouts of money. "My tax cut is bigger than his tax cut." "I'll give everyone health care, etc." Can you tell me anything Obama did while in the Illinois legisalture (other than advance his own career)? Can you point out anything while in the US Senate? Come to think of it, has he ever sat in his …

To David Sirota, Yes, MCCain has been running a dumb campaign. Obama, on the other hand is running a smart one. Unfortunately, one of them will be the next President of the United States, not because of what he will do, but because of the campaign promises and avoidance of revealing the either real person. Both appear to be so entrawled with the idea of becoming president that they are willing to say (or is not to say more accurate?) whatever it takes to fit the image their handlers think will win the "game." McCain's pasted-on smile and attempt to hide …

"Vacation time shouldn’t be the privilege of a few, but the right of all." Funny thing... In my copy the fundamental rights list ends with,"...the pursuit of happiness." Not everything people want should be considered a right. This is just plain stupid and why our country is falling behind. We are nearly becoming another Europe where "rights" to a cushy life (short work week, early retirement, etc.) have had them in double digit unemployment and high inflation prices for decades. I was self-employed beginning at age 19 and, with the exception of three years working for a corporation and my military …
