The White House says neither GM nor Chrysler submitted acceptable plans to receive more bailout money, setting the stage for a crisis in Detroit and putting in motion what could be the final two months of two American auto giants.

The Obama administration, however, has decided not to require the automakers to immediately repay government loan money they previously received, since that would force both companies into Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

A senior administration official told FOX News, "calling in the loans would not be a productive exercise for the American taxpayer since the companies don't have the money [to repay the loans] and it would simply put the companies into uncontrolled Chapter 11."

what...Obama does something smart and no takers!? I personally dont think they should get any money, force them to go bankrupt and restructure, taxpayer dollars shouldnt go to saving greedy ceo's fuckups and mistakes. The car companies need to get with the times, as many have said GM is about 30 years behind and wagoner even admitted that under his watch they put out shitty cars and didnt care.

I agree - 100%.

I also think the President dabbling in GMs affairs is frightening - but hey - they're "government owned" now.

Soon - all of us will be too.

Say hello to 1984.
