Obama is spot on about Detroit

It's disgraceful how badly Detroit has delivered in recent years. While other automakers were moving towards fuel efficiency Detroit made every effort to be combative and go in the opposite direction. The end result is tens of thousands of lost jobs and years away from competing on a global scale. It is in everyone's best interest to get Detroit producing sensible products that are environmentally friendly and that people want to buy instead of smearing environmentalists.

As a side note, whoever at GM thinks selling cars in Europe under the Chevy name is a good idea is kidding themselves. Chevy has a terrible reputation over here and the cars - whatever they are - look flimsier than a Yugo. Did GM hire the same team that sent the worst of Renault to America in the 1980s?
