Check out these quotes from an AP story about Wagoner's firing:

But Wagoner is now a high-profile casualty of government intervention, forced out as part of the Obama administration's sweeping last-ditch effort to save the century-old auto giant.

The management shake-up, according to several industry analysts, shows that the administration is serious about forcing GM to change more quickly and dramatically than it did during Wagoner's nearly nine-year tenure as CEO.

So is Obama calling the shots in Detroit, or am I simply misinterpreting what's written here?

No 1/4 Black Hitler is calling the shots and will lead to ruin.
