YouTube viewers give General Motors's bailout-begging video 1.99 stars out of 5. Web video services provider TubeMogul tells us that's the lowest rating of any video to crack YouTube's top 100 this week. This despite the fact that the the video's top referrer is a GM-owned site.  Social media marketing 0, Angry public 1.

It may destroy our economy, but it is the unions at fault.

Isn't it interesting that democrats are pushing for non-anonymous union ballots (how democratic!), when they themselves are using a secret ballot to determine the fate of Joe Lieberman? (It doesn't matter that the outcome was to allow him to stay; it is the principle that a secret ballot is essential to democracy, and democrats only want the ballot secret when it serves them.)

numbers are just proof how bloated these automakers are..13,000 dealerships and 2 million retirees are too many to support for a company that isn't making a dime...

well made video though must admit...pretty scary if you didnt know any better.

Any bailout will go directly into the pockets of the owners... The industry is collapsing due to mismanagement and abuse by senior officials, and a slow steady change in consumer preferences.

Automakers know they are "too big to fail" and thus take necessary risk, thinking that they don't need to do what consumers want them to because the government will prop them up when their business model becomes un-profitable.

Wow. No amount of money will save these bloated companies from their self inflicted ills. The credit markets shutting down just sped up the inevitable. I think the big three need to be put down or at least reorganized with new management so they will start making cars that Americans would buy and could afford to put gas in. Toyota and Honda have been doing it for years now.

The government should put that 25 billion into building commuter trains for any one of the cities in our country that suffer from traffic congestion. I'd tried my second car for a faster commute any day.
