Yeah, from the perspective of them getting easy access to the taxes I've paid, I definitely agree that they got a bailout. Maybe I should have said that they were 1st place in the field of losers that was the American auto industry. And while that isn't particularly inspiring, it may lend support to the notion that I was trying to propose, which is that they have at least some ability to handle potential crises that were evidently easy to fall into (at least for GM and Chrysler, who comprised the American car industry, aside from Ford.)

In hindsight on the whole comment, though, I'm probably just pleased with Ford right now because I'm quite impressed with the Focus RS, but that certainly doesn't prove that their leadership is strong.
