Bush to offer business advice to big three auto companies today.
The big three going to a man that has failed in every business he's ever been involved in, including running and ruining the USA?

By the time the idiot in chief gets done advising the Big Three, even the "New Car Smell" will be a high dollar option on the sticker price!

2. If they take any of his adivce, they may as well go ahead
Edited on Tue Nov-14-06 07:01 AM by Ice4Clark
and file bankruptcy now. A man without business sense or vision, advising the auto industry, who'd a thunk it?

4. Advising the Big Three
Time to buy Japanese. If not for an accident of birth, this Bozo would be lucky to rise to the position of assistant produce manager of a supermarket.

6. I guess the Big Three needs to know how to blow up frogs or
drive drunk.

25. Ewww. I hate Japanese cars.
:puke:

They're so - ugly - and have no personality. Just like American cars that pretend to be foreign.

7. Will this be the same kind of advice that enabled Bush to run Harken and Arbusto
energy companies into bankruptcy?

Geez, that means the Saudi royal family will come in and bail out/own the Big Three.

9. This is a wonderful idea
They need to listen to him very carefully, then do the opposite of what he says.

33. Bush thinks that Dodge, is something you do with your duty as a
flyboy for the Texas Air Guard!

Bush is too stupid to even be a crash test dummy!

32. When I first scanned this headline I thought it read;
"Bush off to bother big three automakers today."

Honest to God, I had to do a double-take...

36. Malcolm Forbes
was asked by a group of newly minted MBAs what the best piece of advice he could give to someone just getting into business and he replied:
"Pick your father"

Man, did he ever nail little georgie (his own kid too, imo).
