1. I'll believe it when Bush signs it
It has been on and off "imminent" for at least two weeks now.

2. Agreed...CNN thought it real enough to drag out the "breaking news" banner and music.
and talk about it.

7. Bush sure has been draging his feet on this. For what reasons, I think I know, but we will see. It
might already be too late.

3. What concessions will be asked from the unions?
and will it be significantly different than the "deal" they were offered by the Southern Senators?

5. Here's my prediction: it'll be enough to say he did something, but it won't save GM
I expect the terms of the car manufacturer rescue plan to contain several outrageous demands and be stinting enough in capital that the Republicans can at least force a radical, union-smashing restructuring of GM.

6. He'll just use the time to publicaly Bash Unions
I got $50 Bush tries to blame the whole thing on the worker's and their unions and places some language in the Excutive Order to order the unions to take a pay cut

Scum Bag

I'm sending some shoes
