No wonder they need money. Anyone who would make such a blatant PR gaffe like this shouldn't be in charge of selling anything.

Of course they say it's for "security purposes". Yeah, sure it is. The security of their own egos.
It pretty sad, but I'd say its hypocritical to tear into the auto execs when we have oil execs right in our backyard that have an even more disgusting display of wasting funds and reckless spending of cash on a day to day basis....most of which will be the first to plead for help as this decline worsens.

I have no sympathy for any of these corporations - minus the bottom end workers who will loose there jobs in order to maintain the high salaries of many of these CEO's who will have the privilege of hanging onto there jobs until the bitter end.
