Former ATT chief tapped to head GM

Well here we are expecting a leaner meaner GM to come out of bankruptcy and who do the pick as the new Chairman? Why Ed Whitacre of SBC/ATT fame.

How is GM supposed to get smaller when you hire this guy to lead? He resurrected ATT from the ashes of MaBell. His resume is built around putting humpty dumpty back together again, Is that what we need? Don't get me wrong Ed is a sharp business man, however, he does not have the right set of skills or perspective for this task. Why do I care? Mr. Obama has made me an owner.

Who knows, maybe Pontiac is not dead yet after all... or Nash, American, or Pierce-Arrow.
