There will be no "merging". The talks are on hold until "markets stabalize", whenever that is. Chrysler doesn't need more manufacturing capacity. They have a factory down the road that isn't even operating at full capacity.
The "merging" talk is just a bunch of smoke to try and stop the share price plunge.

clouds555, you really don't want a socialist government.
I find it interesting that McCain supporters fear socialism in the U.S. under Barack Obama, yet the CURRENT administration is now considering direct purchases of some bank stocks by the government.

McCain's "former" campaign financial advisor is Phil Gramm, who could be McCain's Treasury Secretary if he wins. While advisors in both parties can share blame for the current disaster, Phil Gramm is the chief architect of the bill that started the deregulation mess.

truecitizen, Barack Obama worked for ACORN only once as an aTtorney.
Discredited Republican voter-suppression guru Ken Blackwell is attacking Barack Obama with naked lies about his supposed connection to ACORN.
• Fact: Barack was never an ACORN community organizer.
• Fact: ACORN never hired Obama as a trainer, organizer, or any type of employee.
• Fact: ACORN was not part of Project Vote, the successful voter registration drive Barack ran in 1992.
In his capacity as an attorney, Barack represented ACORN in a successful lawsuit ALONGSIDE THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE against the state of Illinois to force state compliance with a federal voting access law. For his work helping enforce the law, called “Motor Voter,” Barack received the IVI-IPO Legal Eagle Award in 1995.
Ken Blackwell is best known today for disenfranchising Democratic voters in his dual role as Ohio Secretary of State and chair of George Bush’s Ohio campaign in 2004. To see him shed crocodile tears for the integrity of the vote while making accusations about Barack and ACORN with absolutely no basis in fact is disturbing.
Blackwell’s attacks against ACORN and community organizers continue a vile Republican pattern of mockery and viciousness against this noble profession. Community organizers are the very individuals Republicans should be celebrating for helping people to help themselves rather than depending on the government.

RAF, you only quoted two people. I would hazard a guess that not all Democrats agree with those quotes. Try again.

From what I've read, Cerberus wanted to trade Chrysler's auto operations in exchange for the rest of GMAC (Cerberus currently owns 51% of GMAC). The talks have been ongoing for a year, but are now stalled. This is a non-story.
"The talks have stalled because of the recent turmoil in the financial markets, according to the Journal. Its sources said negotiations could resume if markets stabilize because both GM and Cerberus want to quickly divest the assets under discussion."

I'm actually glad Barack Obama was given an arabic name at birth. It makes the racist fear mongers easier to spot now.

KariBlake, if you think Barack Obama "came out of nowhere", how do you feel about Sarah Palin? I know she isn't running for President, but if experience is a concern of yours, is she really the best pick as VP?
Your claims that Barack Obama is somehow a muslim are false. Do you seriously think he got to decide where he went to school in 3rd and 4th grade? Does a 3rd or 4th grader get to choose what they are taught, or even comprehend the difference?
From the same article you linked: "How observant Obama himself was, or if he was a Muslim at all, is murky. With the school records missing, eaten by bugs, one has to rely on people's shifting memories."
The fact is, Barack Obama has been a Christian all of his adult life. If anything, learning about another culture as a child should be a plus.
"Barack Obama has never been Muslim and never practiced Islam. But rumors about his religion intended to frighten some voters persist, and they mostly return to one point of fact: his name. "Barack" is the candidate's Kenyan father's name; Obama's middle name, "Hussein," is his grandfather's name. Hussein embraced Islam—after first converting to Christianity under the name "Johnson." According to Obama's memoir, Hussein valued discipline and strength and found Christian forgiveness to be sentimental. Obama has described his father as atheist or agnostic. His Kansan mom, whose grandparents were devout Protestants, lived a secular life. Obama's only personal contact with Islam came as a boy when he moved to Jakarta, Indonesia, with a stepfather who mixed his Islam with Hindu and Animist traditions. In five years there, Obama attended a Roman Catholic school, then a public elementary school, where he sat through a class each week of religious studies. As an adult, Obama turned to Christianity in the late '80s in Chicago, at Trinity United Church of Christ, where he was baptized, married—and baptized his kids. As a new U.S. senator, Obama took his oath on the family Bible."
