Replying to: circlew (Nov 24, 2008 2:03 pm) I might join you. I would like to see the Smithsonian before I die. Never been to DC or had any real desire except the museums. |

Replying to: gagrice (Nov 24, 2008 2:09 pm) May I respectfully recommend the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers and the changing of the guard. I also recommend Lincoln Memorial. Union Terminal is interesting for people watching.

Replying to: gagrice (Nov 24, 2008 2:09 pm) Arlington is quite a humbling experience especially in a full burial ceremony. I will never forget it and the sacrifice that is beckoning to you even today. I salute all of these souls and their families. I really appreciated the Lincoln Memorial and the WWII Memorial. Hopefully, the Big 3 CEO's will take a swing past Arlington National to give them a clearer baseline from which to lead the necessary change and forget their huge compensation and EGO. Regards, OW

Replying to: dieselone (Nov 24, 2008 8:48 am) The short list of my dislikes of Bush has grown over the bailouts. Another $350 Billion for citigroup? but nothing for GM? I think Japan owns a good chunk of Citi.

Sorry, these guys did it to themselves. If we individual taxpayers were in need of a bailout because we couldn't pay our bills, you think the feds would bail each of US out? Don't think so . . .  Originally I was for a bailout because I thought it would save jobs, but let's face facts, the Detroit 3 were going to cut a good portion of those jobs anyways! Let them get themselves out of trouble . . . if they can.

Replying to: circlew (Nov 24, 2008 2:31 pm) We can only HOPE they take a cut. Or maybe they should just commit hari-kari! BTW, I wonder if the B3 CEOs watched the SNL skit (surely they did). That had to sting . . . or perhaps not.

Replying to: kernick (Nov 24, 2008 10:34 am) 2 yr old for $10k is BS. With 100k miles on it....maybe. Even the Accord loses over $4k in depreciation in year 1. I could have had an Impala for a price that would have virtually made depreciation a non-factor. Nobody pays MSRP, that's just the number that would give GM a viable business plan
