They have now been saddled with the "Goverment Motors" moniker for damn near a year now. Tea Baggers and other right wing, anti-Obama fans have stood fast by not buying GM product. They had to cut four brands, and thousands of jobs loose. They went through sevearl very public trials in front of goverment officials.
I want to hear more about this virtual stock stuff.

Tea Baggers, how Keith Olbermann like...you seriously are a sheep sometimes. Do you honestly expect people to run out and buy a GM car right now? Some people REGARDLESS of political affiliation didn't agree with TARP and other forms of bailouts....but yet you expect them spend THEIR money on products they don't want? It's so damn arrogant to EXPECT people to go out and buy a GM product merely based on the fact that they're in trouble. It's called free-will and a supposed free market, if GM can't hack it against other companies then that's their problem, not ours. GM, IMO, makes better cars than a Toyota or Nissan but do you wonder why they can't make a profit? Do you want WHY they have the stigma they carry? Their PR sucks moose ****, they've ****ed over countless customers, supplies etc. How many dealerships/supplies/creditors got ass-raped with no KY through the bankruptcy proceedings? Do you know or do you not want to talk about that because reality is hard to face?
There's more to a company than its product and that's where GM fails miserably. I'm sure you'll spin it that I'm just some wacko Conservative who hates GM or that it's just some big conspiracy against the poor victim GM...the fact is A LOT of people are still mad about TARP and it's absolutely ludicrous that GM would make such bold statements that they paid back ALL of the loans when it's coming out that they haven't. That right there is enough to make me never EVER buy a product of theirs again. It's further proof they've learned nothing.
So what's next? Is it the "tea-bagger's" fault GM is still losing money?
***For the record I'm not part of this Tea Bag movement, it's mainly a sham of a movement with no direction. While they bring up some VERY valid points they offer no alternatives, just whine, bitch, whine, and bitch some more. I just find it funny you echo what douche's on MSNBC say.****
