He was asked by the Whitehouse to resign and he did. I guess the president knows more about running GM than the Board does

Wagoner has been in charge for 9 years.
GM's performance over the past 9 years has not been great and the decisions made over that period have resulted in what we see today.
9 years is enough time to make an impact and Wagoner's leadership have led GM to what it is today.

If it were a bank GM was approaching for cash vs the federal Government...
I would think the Bank would ask for "regime change" as well before loaning a coulpe of billion dollars.

Considering the size of the bailout, I think the government has the right to get some influence..........Think of it almost like buying themselves 2-3 seats on the board.

Or would you guys prefer that they go bankrupt without any bailouts?

with bankruptcy they could renegotiate the contracts right?
