Fritz Henderson, GM's president and chief operating officer, stressed on NBC's "Today" show that bankruptcy isn't a viable option.

Choosing bankruptcy, he said, would further erode consumer confidence in the automaker and "we want them to be confident in their ability to buy our cars and trucks." Leave a comment

"After being reamed for showing up at the first set of hearings in separate Earth murdering jets rather than on public transit like everyone else does when they have no money, they obviously figured some token symbolism was in order. So the CEO of General Motors carted down an environmentally-friendly Chevy Volt, on the back of a truck, and unloaded it to drive the final few miles into DC.

The CEO messed up. He should have driven the Volt all the way from Detroit to DC, with news cameras in tow. We could have watched his journey as he stopped every 40 miles and plugged in his car’s rechargeable lithium batteries at some random American’s house. Then maybe America would have understood the conflict between liberal idealism and reality. In a future dominated by electric cars, it takes a village -- to make a road trip."
