  I may not have voted or supported him, but I know and respect the man's business knowledge. We should listen to him.

  Romney is a right-wing nut, but I couldn't agree with him more on this. It was only 4 years ago that Rick Wagoner stood up and devoted GM to large, gas-guzzling automobiles, despite the reality that consumers were moving towards more fuel efficient cars. Let him hang. Let the CEO's and management of all three companies hang, then rebuild it.

  I'm not a Republican, but he's hit the nail on the head here. Unfortunately, since UAW lobbyists have the Democrats wrapped around their finger, I seriously doubt they will follow sound advice like this.

  Very sound advice and he's showing is Bain & Co. stripes. He must have read the most recent issue of The Economist, whose sentiments he echoed here. I didn't vote Republican and disagree politically with Romney, but Washington should heed his recommendations. A bailout is just paying political debts to the UAW that will buy another year or two before GM, Ford and Chrysler start shaking the cup again for more taxpayer money.

  In many respects, Romney would've made a fantastic Treasury Secretary. He has Paulson beat just by walking in the door. Too bad there is so much anti-Mormon phobias going around.
