If you’re into the whole two-party system thing, chances are you’ve noticed that General Motors, and Chrysler have been hot topics for both sides. Both Republican and Democratic candidates have been attempting to take credit for the companies’ recovery out of their 2009 bankruptcies, while making efforts to visit assembly plants and write fallback speeches about The General and Pentastar. Because topics like the TSA, privacy rights, and the Federal Reserve are apparently too boring and uninteresting for America.
So in what appears to be a move to avoid any more undesired scrutiny and politics, and to downplay its significance in the upcoming election, GM has taken a more neutral stance, and will prohibit all presidential candidates from visiting any of its facilities until after the election has passed in November.
Is this move agreeable? Or do you think it won’t change anything? Voice your opinion in the comment section below.

Sounds like a solid plan. Stay neutral and keep to doing what they do best.
A lot of people still have heartburn over the bailouts and I think it wise to stay low. The best thing GM can do is to be successful and show that the bailouts and peoples trust was well placed.
They should also ban all presidential candidates from TV.
Oh god I agree with the above statement, I can’t bear to here, ” This is the worst economic recovery blah blah blah…” anymore
It is the worst economy I have seen in my 57 years and the outlook doesn’t get any better with the deficit we keep building.
Good idea IMO. GM is enough of a political football as is.
good move, very good move
Of the two candidates, Obama is the one who actually has driven a Chevy Volt (only for a few feet) and mentioned that he will buy one when he leaves office. Romney wants to kill the Volt. So now we know how they stand.
GM workers, keep the quality in all your vehicles, especially the Volt, and choose well when you vote.
Hahaha haha ha ha…… Obama for president. Good one.
Stand up for the one who took a stand for you. Use your voice and support the one who saved you so that you would be around to speak.
Who are you talking about?
