Statement on GM CEO Wagoner Resignation and Auto Restructuring

Detroit is a last bastion of honor.  Earlier this week, the President and the Treasury Secretary met with the Wall Street Chieftains who crashed our credit markets and dragged us to the precipice of a global depression.  The White house pledged to work with these Wall Street CEOs who, even now, defend their bonus packages.

 

“Now, Mr. Wagoner has been asked to resign as a political offering despite his having led GM’s painful restructuring to date.  Mr. Wagoner has honorably resigned for the sake of his company’s working families.  When will the Wall Street CEO’s receiving TARP funds summon the honor to resign?  Will this White House ever bother to raise the issue?  I doubt it.”
