The Associated Press: Obama fills econ team, says business will revive
While Obama declined to say specifically what changes he might make to the Bush administration’s plan, he had a message for the Big Three auto companies: “The American people’s patience is running out” and management must “seize on this opportunity” over the next few months to come up with a sustainable plan for survival.
“There are going to be some painful steps that are going to have to be taken,” Obama said.
But not, apparently, any painful steps the autoworkers’ unions must take.
