President Fires President: Obama Forces Out General Motors CEO

The Obama administration has forced the longtime head of General Motors to resign and said yesterday that it would withhold additional federal aid to the auto industry unless the ailing companies undertake changes they so far have been unwilling or unable to make.

Wagoner's nine rocky years at GM were characterized by multiple failures-- from ignoring the trend toward lighter, more fuel efficient vehicles, to running up massive debt with little to show for it, to greenlighting multiple versions of the Pontiac Aztek, which is hands-down the ugliest car to ever disgrace our nation's roadways.

Now in the previous presidential administration, such gross incompetence would result in being named the head of FEMA, but Obama is playing by different rules. He's decided that not only does he get to name a cabinet, sign bills into law, and control the military, he also gets to fire people who don't even work for him!
