    Does this mean he has to give back his retirement bonus?

    Tax payers got duped. I am very disappointed in Obama's auto task force.

    When is Wagner coming back?

    Just read this in USA Today..
    They are a hard sell for GM because their product is crap.

    Seriously.. you took my tax money and gave it to this company?

    Maybe they brought him back so they know what not to do. That is, ask Bob, "Now, Bob, what would you do in this situation?" and then do the exact opposite. Might work :)

    That's the only way bringing Lutz back would help GM

    Just proves the government is as incapable of running a car company. Chance of Government Motors long term success just hit zero. Kinda reminds me of that wildly successful product "New Coke".
