Say Hello to Socialism

Well, hopefully not, at least not all aspects of it.  But what's up with our government firing people at will?  The government has not right to fire CEOs.  

"Obama spoke after the White House forced GM CEO and Chairman Rick Wagoner to step down. The president said the move was not a "condemnation" of the chairman -- rather a "recognition that it will take a new vision and new direction to create the GM of the future." 

He said his interest lies in giving the company the opportunity to make "much-needed changes" so that it can emerge profitable and competitive. 

"Let me be clear. The United States government has no interest in running GM. We have no intention of running GM," Obama said. " (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/first100days/2009/03/30/obama-auto/)

What?  Are you serious?  WHAT??  Now don't get me wrong, the guy needed to be fired, because apparently he's doing a pretty crappy job, but should that be done by the President???  This is not good.......
