      i hear this alot and no doubt the sideshow that American politics has become has made some good people to decide to take a pass on running for the presidency.

      BUT............ in reality, nothing has changed, candidates are coming from the same backgrounds they have always come from with the same accomplishments - governors, senators, the house of representatives. what was John Kennedy before he ran? Nothing more than Barack Obama - other than he served during a war. How is John McCain not as good a candidate at the time he ran as Ronald Reagan or George Bush Sr when they ran.

              yes. at the very least he would not have handed over the entire auto industry to the unions.

                well, that is indeed a huge mistake that will come back to haunt him. having unions run a company will either destroy the union or the company. or both

                  Yea...... it is hard to imagine how someone else could have done worse. Nationalizing the auto industry and a large part of the banking industry all in 100 days. Combined with trillions in budget deficits, runaway spending, socialized heath care and massive cap-and-trade taxes he may single handily manage to destroy the country in under 6 months. I would guess you could not easily find someone who could have done any more damage than he has (and plans to).

                        while i don't neccesarily like the idea of giving equity to the retirees of chrysler, it's not accurate to say he handed over the entire auto industry to the unions.

                        May 1 (Bloomberg) -- The United Auto Workers? equity in Chrysler LLC is small comfort compared with the damage the automaker?s bankruptcy inflicted on the union?s bargaining power, labor analysts said.

                        UAW President Ron Gettelfinger said in a statement the union?s retiree health-care fund had accepted a 55 percent stake in Chrysler in return for cutting in half the automaker?s $10.6 billion cash obligation to the fund.

                        The UAW now has 26,800 members at Chrysler, one-fourth as many as in 1979. Its Chrysler equity could turn out to be worthless, leaving retirees with curtailed health insurance, if the company?s fortunes don?t turn around quickly, said Harley Shaiken, a labor analyst at the University of California at Berkeley.

                        ?What?s at stake is auto being the pre-eminent industry generating middle-class jobs in the country,? Shaiken said. ?The union will have a tough fight in the future to make sure competitiveness results in high-wage jobs rather than coming at their expense.?

                        While the UAW gained representation on the Chrysler board through the agreement, its power will be limited because shares owned by the trust fund will be voted by independent trustees, Shaiken said.

                          I understand why you're easily confused. It takes more thought to understand it than just grabbing the first quote you come across.
                          but I don't mind teaching people who want to "set the record straight"
                          http://www.usatoday.com/money/autos/...wnership_N.htm
                          """The United Auto Workers union will own 55% of a restructured Chrysler LLC and its retiree health care trust will get a seat on the board if union members vote to approve contract concessions this week."""

                          Thats controlling interest for those of you setting the record straight.

                          """The deal likely will serve as the template for a pact with General Motors Corp."""

                          so 2 of the big three will be owned by the unions.

                          question for those of you looking to set the record straight:
                          what happens when its time for Ford to negotiate the next contract with the UAW? you know, the UAW who is no longer just Ford's labor force but is now also its biggest (and larger) competitor?


                          but hey, thanks for setting the record straight.
                          no need to reply. it takes thought, not the ability to cut and paste, to have a conversation.

                            ya know Ron, when i had dinner with you (and a few others) several years ago in las vegas, you were very nice in person. yet your board persona is quite the high schoolish keyboard warrior. makes me wonder which one of you is real- because if the one we had dinner with is the real one, this side of you makes you come across cowardly in person.

                            either way, good luck to you.

                                    The funny thing about people who are against unions is that they have never belonged to one. The UAW has done alot for my extended family and I have alot of aunts and uncles that retired from Chrysler, Ford or GM. If you ask one of them what they think they will tell you that the union is the best thing that ever happened to them.

                                      I don't think anyone is arguing that they're great for the workers... thing is that they're doom for the companies.

                                        I feel that back in the day unions were good for the working person. But now I am not so sure about that..And yes I have been in a few unions...

                                          now they're better for the non-working person

                                            Actually, I was a union member (CWA) for [approximately] 25 years and quite active. By the time I retired I had had my fill of unions and felt that they are only beneficial to lazy people that have a lot of seniority.

                                              I could see that


                                              My Dad worked at Chrysler as a management and got forced out by the union because he busted 2 guys smoking pot in the hallway and had them escorted from the plant grounds... the next day they broke all of the windows in his car and slashed all of the tires. The plant put him on permanent layoff after that.
