Ms. MAYNARD: This afternoon, when Fritz Henderson, who's the chief executive of General Motors, came into the room for the big press conference, he said that he'd passed a portrait of Alfred Sloan, the legendary General Motors president, and he said he asked himself what would those past leaders of General Motors do in his situation. Well, those past leaders of General Motors were never in his situation. They never had to make a call like this, to go into bankruptcy, and really, in the end, it wasn't Mr. Henderson's call. It was President Obama's call.
