If the Big 3 fail, couldn't we simply encourage smaller U.S. car companies to do what those three should have been doing. Heard of the Karma? I know that Honda has a hydrogen-powered car in SoCal in production.
What were Ford, GM, and Chrysler thinking? Maybe they should fail, just as Citi should (Even global conglomerates should fail.)!

In 1955, when racism was still a big issue in the United States of America, Ella Fitzgerald became the first African-American to perform at the Mocambo, after Marilyn Monroe had lobbied the owner for the booking. The booking was instrumental in Fitzgerald's career. Marilyn would promise the owner that she would appear every night (and be on time), and this way also fill the house--and she did, she was there every night, and she filled the house and: she was always on time! Their close friendship lasted for many years and Ella would sing Marilyn Monroe's famous 'My Heart Belongs To Daddy' in honor of her wonderful friend Marilyn Monroe, who died almost 34 years before she passed on in 1996, at age 79. Barack Obama Quotes: 'They say I need to be seasoned; they say I need to be stewed. They say, 'We need to boil all the hope out of him -- like us -- and then he'll be ready.' 'I have nothing to hide, I enjoy being myself. I'm not going to change who I am just because it's Halloween." -appearing as himself on Saturday Night Live as part of a skit that featured Hillary Clinton dressed as a witch at a Halloween party * 'It's like I was shot out of a cannon. I'm so overexposed that I make Paris Hilton look like a recluse.' 'Hillary is not the first politician in Washington to declare 'Mission Accomplished' a little too soon.'

LINCOLN'S GOOD KARMA LEGACYLincoln is one of a handful of presidents that touch me. I've been reading yet another biography of the man, and it leapt out at me from the pages. When Lincoln ran for president, he was a relatively new and unknown candidate from Illinois, a back-woods lawyer having only served one term in Congress. Not favored to win, he was under-estimated by pundits and opponents, and it was his gift for words and persuasive speaking that was his strongest asset. He was eloquent yet unassuming. One of his great addresses was at Cooper Union in NYC. His primary opponent was presumptive, and his loss to Lincoln shocked everyone. He healed many political divisions, by embracing those of opposing parties (ultimately appointing some of them to his cabinet). He avoided pitfalls by being patient, preserving and measured in his responses, short of being taken advantage of. Sound like anyone we know? How ironic and karmic that Lincoln would free the very people who's lineage would eventually carry his torch in a most passionate and inspirational way.
Did I miss any parallels? Please clue me in.
Lincoln could, and Barack can. Yes we can.
