...question is whether any U.S. automobile manufacturer will live long enough to enjoy it. President Barack Obama would rather bridge General Motors to the future than see it collapse, but he has now made it clear that the GM we know and don't really love is finished. So is GM CEO Rick Wagoner, who was told to hit the road, his three decades of service to GM - and strong support within the industry - now considered a liability. "This is not meant as a condemnation of Mr. Wagoner, who has devoted his life to this company," Obama said in condemning...

...Obama even risked accepting the invitation of one British hack to give election advice to Prime Minister Brown, subverting the mischievous intent behind the question with a thoughtful response. "Over time, good policy is good politics," Obama said. Moreover, "you can wake up in the morning and look in the mirror." From a President only 73 days into his job to a politician who has served, respectively, as Chancellor and Prime Minister since 1997, such a response might have seemed presumptuous. Instead Brown smiled, apparently happy to bask in the reflected glow of Obama's optimism. Hope, as Obama continues...
