EYE OPENING EXPOSE OF INCOMPETENCE AT GM

This book is a real eye opener at the growing incompetency of many of General Motors' top executives, too many of whom do not know the nature of the automotive business. Too many CEO's who ran the company came from the ranks of accountants who know little or nothing about building cars that people want to by. It outlines the many screwups of Roger Smith that made the UAW such a militant union that it has been.I would urge that President Barack Obama buy and read this book so that he gets a better idea of what has been building up over a period of years. I think this book will give Mr. Obama a better idea of the nature of the beast he is dealing with and General Motors is one hell of a sick beast.
