Certainly enough to be fired, if one goes by the typical reasons that CEOs get fired. I'm not really saying that the federal government should or shouldn't call shots in the auto industry; just that SINCE they bailed out the auto industry, they have the right to call whatever shots they want. Otherwise, it shouldn't be bailing them out at all. This is obviously at least as bad an option as bailing them out though, and there are people who could advocate for both sides - I'm just asking for consistency.

Wagoner had accomplished quite a bit, i.e. for one thing reducing the work force by half. He was replaced by an existing GM guy. And why did you want the federal government calling the shots in the auto industry as they largely do in public ed? Still, much room for debate I agree.
