If you made Pelosi or Rangel the tsarina or tsar of the auto industry, they would run it into the ground with burdensome regulation, pay off the unions with public money for early retirement (at 150% of last wage, plus OT), and then convince the press that they had done a great service to the environment and to public transit.

This is a no-win situation for anyone who doesn’t hold high office with a D before hir name.

While JAY LENO is a fine comedian, being famous does not qualify him as an expert on the automobile industry. The nature of the question indicates one of the worse media problems. Why are we assigning expert status to people who are NOT EXPERTS? Since when did a politician become an economics expert just because they are politicians? Since when did an actor become an “expert” just because they are celebrities? Since when did a media figure become an expert just because they are on tv? Im still waiting for a satisfactory answer.

On a side note I find it troubling that politicians keep trying to appoint Czars. And yes I have a problem with more than just the term itself.

The problem I see with the idea suggested is that market-based creativity and results-oriented expectations would come along with the package of Jay Leno.

If we don’t know anything else about the Obamians, we know they are firmly opposed to both of those.

Man, that was an excellent list. I personally would choose Chip Foose for the exterior, Jobs for the instrumentation, and Lauren for the interior. I think you should get the Carmax people to handle the dealerships. Awesome place! no haggle, no pressure.

You are also going to need a labor guy. I say the go for the use Goodell(NFL Commish, no nonsense, make people accountable type.

My vision person would be whoever it is that handles Hyundai. Talk about going from a “throw away” car to now making a car that rivals the best luxury sport names in the business. There my friend is your brand image.

Politicians can’t manage themselves, this whole mess is pretty scary.
