Yes, its absurd.
I guess I was having some wacky paranoid dream, thanks for waking me up. I dreamed that the government passed salary caps on major bank executives salaries, then I dreamed that congress proposed a 90% bonus tax, then its gets even MORE bizzare, I dreamed that the President of the United States guranteed warranties on Chrysler and GM cars and to top it all of he fires the president of GM. WHoa! That was wild. I can't even imagine in my wildest dreams Obama would further ensure GMs stability by manipulating gas prices or legistlation that would push people to buy GM. This is America after all.

The House can propose anything but this wasn't signed into law was it?

A temporary program aimed to boost consumer confidence in an organization that the taxpayer has a large stake in.

Actually they asked him to step down because GM didn't meet the obligations they agreed to by taking taxpayer money, but...

I could of course bring up my dreams from the last 8 years, but Bush isn't in office any more so I'll pass...
