Colbert Report: GM CEO Lutz needs to be FIRED-Global Warming Denier

[Ichingcarpenter]

He threw out the Lies of the global warming deniers. 'CO2 is not causing Global Warming'


I find him an arrogant prick.... His 32,000 'scientists' disproving global warming is an outright lie.

Watch him here:http://www.colbertnation.com/home

1. And GM wants 25 billion of Taxpayer's monies?

I think we need to make this an issue.

2. Fire Lutz have the government become part owner in GM

is the only way that money should be loaned.

Lutz makes $3,239,980 a year from his salary and compensations.

3. Rick Wagoner is CEO of GM

Bob Lutz is Vice Chairman of Global Product Development. You can fire him anyway, though.

7. "Vice Chairman of Global Product Development"

So he's the brains behind GM's total reliance on SUVs. And he still has a job.

8. The whole board needs to be taken over ... their compensations alone

are ridiculous and an affront to union workers.

Watch Lutz's body language, voice and his poor salesman ability.
He really didn't even try to sell the car and vision.

4. Bob Lutz: Global Warming 'a Crock of Sh*t' and Hybrids Don't Make Sense

Maximum" Bob Lutz is a man who always speaks his mind, no matter how outlandish, which is why it should be no surprise the General Motors honcho says global warming "is a total crock of sh*t."
Lutz made that crack during a private lunch with reporters in Virginia, according to D Magazine, and followed it up by saying, "I'm a skeptic, not a denier. Having said that, my opinion doesn't matter."

–Hybrid cars like those made by Toyota “make no economic sense,” because their price will never come down, and diesel autos like those touted by Chrysler are also uneconomic. The only place in Europe that diesel-driven cars are big, he said, is where diesel fuel is half the cost of regular gasoline; in most places there, the costs are comparable and diesel has little market penetration.

5. Bob Lutz is an idiot.

He's the same guy that claimed GM had no way of predicting the consumer trend toward higher mileage autos. He should be fired. The fact that he still has a job tells me that Rick still doesn't get it.

6. Rick will get a retirement plan that will pay him at least $4.6 million a year

How much of that loan to GM will pay for that?


The carmaker’s pension fund is under-funded by more than $45 billion, according to the Post. But Wagoner has nothing to worry about. He has a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, which allows a company to use after-tax dollars "that rightly belong to shareholders to shower riches on the CEO instead,” the Post reports.

Best of all for Wagoner, this payout comes from funds that are separate from those underpinning the retirement programs of ordinary workers, which means he’ll pocket his $4.6 million-plus a year even if GM files for bankruptcy.

News of the CEO’s big pension payday comes after Delphi Corp., GM’s largest parts supplier, collapsed, jeopardizing the pension fund set up for the company’s 30,000 workers.

9. wow, another ignorant jerk! Great! they just keep popping up all over the damn place. n/t

[stuntcat]

10. "like many noted scientists"

those words are ALL most people have to hear to decide to wait ten more years before they make ANY change.
This world's so fucking lost, I've been let down more every day, I'm just glad my years are half done.

11. Its an EXXON debunked talking point

But the question is as the CEO on Global Product development for GM
did he sound like someone excited about his new product?

Or someone at a used car lot?
