简介:
The first insider - and high-level - account of the Obama administration tells the dramatic story of one of its most controversial and precedent-shattering decisions: to assume control, force into bankruptcy, and completely restructure Chrysler and General Motors. The President arrived a few minutes late. He had the air of a man in the business of calmly executing his decisions, not second-guessing them. Waiting on a conference line were Michigan's two senators and two of its congressmen. Delegations from our task force had been meeting regularly with them-tense, often testy sessions in which we were lectured about the importance of helping this critical industry. The President worked through his talking points, then paused to let the legislators speak. John Dingell, the longest-serving member of the House in history, was statesmanlike. The others were audibly on edge. Congressman Sander Levin seemed to interpret the President's allusions to bankruptcy for GM and Chrysler as just a negotiating tactic. "I understand that you have to refer to bankruptcy to get people to the table," he began. The President interrupted in a measured tone: "I don't want you to leave with that impression. I'm telling you that because it's a real possibility."
