A Simple Way to Turn Around GM
Put Bill Gates in charge.
He runs Microsoft like it will go bankrupt in 18 months, and has even said that to his employees. I think he is too agressive, but I'd love to see him in charge of GM, as thinking out of the box and risk-taking is exactly what they need to do.

After all, it's only a money game to see who has the most cash after the dust settles....

If Gates Declines....
If Bill Gates declines to "chair" GM, I'd like it to go to basketball coach great Bob Knight. 
Difference between Gates and Knight: Gates only figuratively talked of "cutting off Netscape's air supply" - Knight literally chokes anyone in his way.

Re: A Simple Way to Turn Around GM
As an anti gates guy I could rant and rave. Instead I will tell you that gates got his money in very unethical ways. And the company stays afloat only because of the leverage they have over major PC manufacturers.
Why not raise the dividend on their stock to give some of their surplus back to the stock holders? Because gates makes enough money selling a couple million shares a day (look it up). He doesn't need the money and you sure as heck aren't getting much of it. Their stock has been pretty flat the last few years.

Why Bill Gates?, The cars would crash for no known reason! He has very little innovation, I say Steve Jobs! At least Apple has come out with cool looking hardware and they don't crash...as much..lol
