Days after GM's CEO Rick Wagoner was forced out by the Obama administration, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner left open the possibility that such moves could happen again. When asked if he would leave open the option to pressure a bank CEO to resign, Geithner replied: "Of course."

In a separate interview with ABC News, Geithner said there was no difference in the way the administration has handled the auto and finance industries.
Is that why the banks and Wall Street investment houses got their trillions with no questions asked and no strings attached, while the auto sector had to present Washington with detailed business plans for recovery, re-structuring and bail-out re-payment strategy for a 'mere' $25 billion? What a corrupt mess.
