New CEO at GM criticizes Obama, brags about being a Republican

Dan Akerson is no closet Republican; the former head of the Carlyle Group's private equity arm gave $2,300 to Sen. John McCain in 2008, along with $28,500 to the Republican National Committee, which has criticized Obama for spending $50 billion to rescue GM.

3. I wish the unions would out this guy to the general public.
If the UAW would start a campaign quoting these assholes, we'd get our car manufacturing wrested back from the uber-wealthy who don't care about this country and we'd get unions and their necessity back into the forefront of American thought.

4. Let's call a spade a spade. These guys not only "don't care about the country,"
they're positively helping to bring this country down through their greed and rapaciousness.
