SNL did a "Bailout" skit, which has created some rather awkward problems for NBC. They spiked the video and tried to shut it down on the Internet. But aha, there's still some sites that have it.

As much as I hate Obama, I want him to succeed because his failure would be America's failure.
With that in mind I have a little bit of advice for him.

If you go around telling everyone the sky is falling, then don't hold a press conference to explain your plan to prevent the disaster, it's bad.
If you then hold a press conference but only refer questions about your plan to the next press conference, it's worse.
If you then have your Treasury Secretary hold the press conference where the questions you've put off are are suppose to be finally answered, but all he does is lay blame and offer empty answers to basic questions, it's beyond stupid.
Then all you've accomplished is told people they should be scared and then proved to them that they should be because it's obvious no one has a real plan.



For Blitz,
You're correct, those more modernized plants in the US ran by Honda an Toyota are not unionized.
My point was these foreign companies have no problems coming into the US offering good pay an benefits
without constant crying about environmental standards and union wages.
I completely agree with you about the job banks being stupid but the fact remains the companies entered into a contract with the unions to do this. It was the company who continued to offload work knowing full well this would be the result. The unions put this clause in the contract to prevent job losses from automation and outsourcing but it was the company that made it happen.
BTW that article you linked to is old, job banks were almost completely done away with during the last major round of contracts.
