Pelosi Opposes Welch as "Car Czar"

As part of the auto bailout bill, Democrats want to appoint a "car czar" to make sure Washington can implement the automakers' business plans. But given the chance to appoint a no-nonsense business leader like Jack Welch, Pelosi says no thanks. She would prefer a Washington insider who will roll over for the Democrats' (and their union allies') political wishes.

I don't know if Welch would want such a position, but I can guarantee he would be far better than anybody that Washington could appoint.
