What was left of GM after bankrupcy now seems to be, like Lazarus, risen from the dead, no thanks to Mitt -- schooled in the bloodless culture of Bain Capital --who was prepared to bury the corporate corpse. The Obama administration, fortunately for the managers and workers of GM, breathed new life and capital (which is being paid back) into the patient and spared it the ignominy of failure.
