Comments on: The Carmakers’ Failure To Sell The “Bailout.” http://portagemedia.com/socialcommentary/2008/11/17/the-carmakers-failure-to-sell-the-bailout/ Social Media, Online Marketing, and You Mon, 07 Nov 2011 15:33:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: Terry Bean http://portagemedia.com/socialcommentary/2008/11/17/the-carmakers-failure-to-sell-the-bailout/comment-page-1/#comment-158 Terry Bean Fri, 12 Dec 2008 04:44:59 +0000 http://portagemedia.com/socialcommentary/?p=149#comment-158 Interesting that the good Senator asked "Where are the Lee Iococca's" considering that Mr. Iococca recently wrote a pretty solid book entitled "Where have all the leaders gone?" In it he mostly pans Bush and Congress, but he does do a little number on the car companies too. It's too bad that we don't have a leader like him either in politics or in the auto industry at present. I am not happy with the events of this day and I shared some of my thoughts about it on my blog. It's a very strange time to be a Detroiter. The mixed emotion from "good, let 'em fail" to gut wrenching "I can't believe they didn't pass this" is going to require a lot of empathy and healing over the coming days. I am happy that the decision isn't final, but, it doesn't look good. Perhaps we can get enough of the Democrats over their illnesses or back into session so we can get the 60 votes needed. It's crazy. I would like to see the roll call for today. Nice post Jeremiah.
