No Date Set: President Promises Big Three Meeting After Elections
No Date Set: President Promises Big Three Meeting After Elections
Date posted: 09-06-2006
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The White House said on Tuesday that President Bush has rescheduled his meeting with the heads of the domestic automakers to discuss such issues as alternative-fuel technology and trade issues.
The new meeting will be held after the November elections, at an unspecified date.
The failure to reschedule the meeting — originally slated for May and then canceled — has been widely regarded in Detroit as a major snub on the part of the administration.
The new meeting was prompted by complaints that Bush was scheduled to attend a GOP fundraiser in suburban Detroit on Friday without penciling in Bill Ford, Jr. — or Ford's just-named new CEO, Alan Mulally — Rick Wagoner or Tom LaSorda on his calendar.
What this means to you: What's a meeting if you haven't set a firm date? If Bush has time to meet with the American Idol contestants, he'd better make some time for one of the nation's most crucial industries.
