#8 Didn't seem to bother them back when Obambi took the 'Old GM' from them in return for the bailout AND making them shut down Pontiac.

#10 Assuming they could pull out RegJoe. Soon as they made a move, assets would have been seized. Not like it's a big deal, I'm sure GM has been preparing for this ever since the Oil Industry was seized.
