Introducing the new Government Motors logo

By Michelle Malkin  •  March 30, 2009 12:48 PM

The always brilliant Doug Powers has created the new Government Motors logo.

Beep, beep!

You got a better one? Let me know. We could save the feds (er, ourselves) millions of dollars on Auto Recovery Logo Design bills.

Bucktown Dusty has the scoop on the first GM/Obama hybrid design.

Dan Cleary tweets: “Soon, cars will have ‘Obamameters’ built into the dashboard (holographic images of BHO saying ’service engine soon’…”

    Are GM products going to have “smart-meters”? Will they allow you so much driving time per day before autoshutdown kicks in and leaves you stranded?

    Will each one come with a Relect Obama 2012 bumper sticker?

    it is people like you that Obama feels he can do anything he wants. it doesn’t take anything more than a one nut bilge rat to understand that Barry Soetoro’s ultimatums to restructure are nothing more than his normal blathering , when he will actually protect the unions at all costs while socializing an industry.

    Hey wait a minute, I’m a former Trabi owner and I’m offended. The Trabi beats anything Obami could ever ‘create’ hands down. :D Remember, his baseline is the gas-sipping, oil belching Model T.

    You don’t have problem with the government forcing a private company to change leadership? How intrusive do you want the government to be? While I’m on a roll, how much more of your money are you ready for the government to flush down the toilet? What’s wrong with you?

    Hope is not a plan; not all change is good. WE are the civilian national security force. We need A Nation of Riflemen now more than ever. The resistance is here; the resistance is now. RESIST!!!!!!!

    Responsible Americans didn’t want GM to get any public funds. I did my part to help GM – I bought a 2008 Chevy pickup truck. The hat-in-hand begging from the government makes me wish I’d bought a, may my late father forgive me, Ford.

    So just what in the heck is our president up to? I mean, what is it going to be? Bailout or bankruptcy? First he bails GM out. Now he says no more bailout, it might have to be bankruptcy. Remember back when Obama was waxing eloquent about how we could MAKE MONEY on this deal? So this is leadership? Oh, and to top things off, he fires the GM CEO and jets away to England and the Czech Republic while the stock market is tanking. Wow, with all of this leadership inspiring us, I should not be worried at all, right? Now where did I put that phone number for gold and silver?

    What is the matter with the left? You Kool-aid drinkers seem to think throwing billions at a company already wallowing in debt is OK…even if the union thugs at the UAW make no concessions.

    …yet the CEO is the only one thrown under Obama’s bus. The UAW “leadership” should be right next to him…but then the campaign donations to your favorite socialist would dry up wouldn’t they?

    They WILL get billions again, in order to keep the UAW arm of the Democrat party afloat.

    Responsible people would have allowed GM to go under rather than pi$$ing away billions…before trying to hold them accountable.

    It’s like the AIG bailout all over. Slip in language allowing bonuses to be paid, then act indignant when the masses find out and try to hold someone accountable.

    I opposed the auto bailouts from the start. What should’ve happened is bankruptcy and reorganization, and then we could’ve started talking about what’s to be done with the retirement/benefit/comp costs that are driving this problem. So the cradle to grave job benefits bubble has not been reported as bursting, because that would ruin the whole nanny-state-palooza that the Congress and O Administration have planned.

    Now we have one company (Chrysler) that’ll be merged with Fiat, and one (GM) that’s to be run by Fiat. I have a prediction: FAIL.
