Recall needed for this GM exec: Runaway hubris

Unbelievable. Such arrogance...from bailed-out (not long ago), job-slashing "Government Motors'" "top" exec.  (Link to AP news story follows...)

No one businessperson is "worth" $9 million annual. (Yes, sir, more egregious examples to "shoot for" offending-ly exist ...) And this guy wants MORE ... for his fellow "geniuses"!?  A few of whom possibly "managed" their (former) business so wonderfully... that massive taxpayer/stockholder 'assistance' was necessary. To pull a lumbering dinosaur of a company ( ...Think: Old GM's 'Hummer') out of the ditch.
(You're not "clean out" (of it) YET either, bud....A profit may AT LAST materialize for 2010; that would be "GM's" first since 2004.)

So disgustingly typical. What an (fill in the blank)!

Watch: This guy will soon say he was "misquoted" or something.





P.S. Hey $9 mill.-a-year "wonderboy": Old GM would have done better (and maybe survived without bailout) if they had merely "copied" (or "aped"; a more fitting image?) what successful Toyota did. You know...like you're belatedly pretty much trying to do now....
