   
GM Stock Price
The history of the GM Stock Price is one that has its share of turmoil. In the company's more recent history we
have seen films done by native Michigan resident Michael Moore do a film on the General Motors Chief Executive
Officer Roger Smith and some of his practices as a business person.
The truth is that no matter what you thought about the fairness of Moore's film it definitely had an impact on
the GM Stock Price and the history of the company as a whole. It is hard to say how much political clout tends to
impact the GM Stock Price. Some political analysts would say that John Dingell of Michigan is the strongest
advocate for General Motors in the entire Congress.
The same political analysts who express the point about Dingell's strength also note that John Dingell's wife
Debbie holds a job at General Motors. There should be no doubt when powerful people hold a position within the
company that it has a definite impact on the GM Stock Price. John Dingell cares greatly about GM.
Many analysts are currently telling investors to stay away from General Motors as if it were a radioactive
beast. I hate to speculate on exactly how much political power can impact the GM Stock Price, but the company did
lose a real advocate for their cause in Congressman Joe Knollenberg.
Knollenberg was big because he was a friend from the Republican side of the aisle that did a good job of
balancing the needs of workers and the needs of the business people inside of the company itself. You have to be
able to find the balance between management labour. People who look at the GM Stock Price may or may not truly care
about positive fuel standards. You need fuel standards that are solid in order to save money.
The person who replace Knollenberg simply does not have quite the same level of experience in knowing exactly
the needs of General Motors are. The fact that the federal government has taken over the company that is General
Motors means that the role of federal representatives needs to be stepped up.
The Congressional delegation earned a great voice in Gary Peters who has plenty of ideas as how to help the GM
Stock Price. President Barack Obama was right to fire General Motors Chief Executive Officer Richard Wagoner.
Wagoner was not willing to make the necessary changes to make the GM Stock Price grow. Wagoner also seemed to
somewhat resist the idea of building more responsible cars in order to combat global warming.
Wagoner simply was too resistant to green technology at a time when the whole world is going green. You have to
keep up with modern times if you are going to be the Chief Executive Officer of a major car company as a way to
prove to people that your brand was up to date. The truth is John Dingell has spent the most time helping the car
companies fight the idea of omission controls within the auto industry, Dingell is no longer the Chairman of the
Energy, Commerce and Energy committee having been replaced by a fellow Democrat who could also care about the
process of getting greater fuel standards instead of just showing concern over the GM Stock Price.
