Hitler wrote the specs for the peoples car (Volkswagen), Will 0bama give specs to GM?

Hitler gave his design to the head of Daimler-Benz, Jakob Werlin, and stressed its importance. "Take it with you and speak with people who understand more about it than I do. But don't forget it. I want to hear from you soon, about the technical details."

The job of designing "the peoples car" went to Ferdinand Porsche - who came up with a rear-engined, air-cooled design.

Ha,ha, Well I believe Hitler may have had some Desire to have a cheep peoples car built, but I don't think he was an engineer like the ones who made the VW, and I think if General Motors were asked by the President to build a cheep car, their designers could, but it's all about making profits for them and their share holders, so they would have to know what would sell and make a profit.

no...he answered this directly. He does not want to run a car company.

Hitler Seized VOLVO as he did all the Businesses in Germany--nay sayers are too ignorant to investigate what evil Hitler and Mussolini did-by nationalising companies.

Obama couldn't find his buttock in the dark with both hands.....and look at how badly he ran Illinois.
Imagine his ineptitude in business with a huge Auto biz.

Lawyers are the dumbest Business people I know...short of doctors--

we're screwed with osama at the wheel of America's Corporations. He hates Free enterprise, you know. Just listen to his approval of Hitler methods which he is implementing as we write this.

He seems to want to control everything. Then of course he will!

[croaker] he lied to you and you bought it. he told the American people one thing and did the exact opposite. he stole a company and gave it to the auto unions. he made a private company a state company. when did the government run anything well? But he is doing it.

the sheep fell for this one, big time.

Hitler did influence the production of the Volkswagen. He wanted a more fuel-efficient working man's car.

I could see Obama sounding off about the same thing; there's nothing wrong with it unless he lends billions of dollars of federal money to the car companies and tries to influence them to do his bidding......I hope he makes them red, it's my favorite car color.

[Darwin]

That is a lie. Hitler did not write the specs for the VW.

The President does not have that authority.

[NeoNerd]

What a cutting, incisive argument. Hitler was involved with Volkswagen, so Obama is as bad as Hitler for being involved with GM. Bravo!

You do not know what you are talking about clueless. You have bottomed out

[bob]

Hitler gave them those specs because he wanted them to build him military cars by those specs. He wasn't trying to regulate production standards for civilian vehicles.

Obama should give them better specs than what they are operating on now. If the slants can build a fuel efficient car, why shouldn't we?

But your comparison is entirely illogical.
