I have to admire Congressman Barney Frank. He must have a gift for persuasion and negotiation skills. ABC News of Newport RI reports that Frank was able to issue a statement this week announcing that he had convinced GM CEO Fritz Henderson to reconsider closing a parts distribution center. GM announced earlier in the week that the plant that employs 80 people in Norton, Massachusetts would be closed. GM called Frank Thursday to tell him they now plan to keep the plant open for an additional 14 months.
How was Frank able to convince GM to keep the plant open? We know that Congress is not going to use undue influence on GM now that they have a controlling interest in the company. After all, it was none other than President Obama that said, They (GM) — and not the government — will call the shots and make the decisions about how…..
So how did Frank do it? Like I said, he must have a gift for the art of persuasion.
The UAW has announced that it is very appreciative of Frank’s help, according to blogger Doug Ross.
Congratulations Congressman Frank!

well, if WHO is running GM then I guess we can look forward to the return of the boxy design - but hell, those police boxes will be able to go anywhere...

Barney Frank knows what men want and how to please a man who wants something, this thread just seems like a lot of jealousy from the OP........
In 1912, the world famous Austrian gynecologist, Dr. Hermann Otto Kloepneckler, M.D Ph.D. published the following:
"The best engine in the world is the vagina. It can be started with one finger. It is self-lubricating. It takes any size piston. And it changes its own oil every four weeks. It is only a pity that the management system is so damn temperamental."
