President Obama won't just be getting a daily briefing on general foreign activities. Another on terrorism. Another on the war. Another on the second war. A political consult. On average 20 different meetings every day. And that's when you're not traveling.

But now, in our twisted new reality, President Obama will be getting a daily "Oh shit gotta save the American Auto Industry!" briefing. I mean, he is in the position to become a modern day Henry Ford. The who system has to be taken upside down and shaken. It's a TOUGH fix.

So ya, good luck Mr. President. I don't envy you.

6. Since "we the people" will own most of GM,
will we get an owner's discount the next time we buy a GM car?
