I am somewhat disturbed or maybe just a confused old man. How, in the These United States of America, can a President ask for and get the resignation from the C.E.O. of one of America’s largest companies? The C.E.O. of General Motors has stepped down. The lever used, is the amount of monies that this government or political ideology is offering to them with strings attached. Freedom, in my never to humble opinion, is freedom from the Government asking or telling who can be in charge of a company. What about some of these Banks and other finical institutions who or which are receiving these assistance dollars. Can or will the government tell who is to be the C.E.O. and have them except these demands. If I follow this equation and it keeps moving down the dollar chain. Can the Pastor of a Mega Congregation be asked to step aside? If the Mega Church the then the trickle down would be to smaller and smaller churches. How about the mechanic down the street, can the same thing happen to him?

I quit. Just my rant for the day;
