CHICAGO (AP) - President-elect Barack Obama isn't saying if he'll make any changes to the auto industry loan package announced this morning by the White House.
But Obama is warning auto companies that "the American people's patience is running out." He says the automakers should "seize on this opportunity" to come up with a plan to make their companies sustainable.
Obama also said a final restructuring package shouldn't just include concessions from the workers. He says they shouldn't be the ones "taking all the hits." Obama says everyone involved with the auto industry has to be "part of the process."
Obama says his economic team will talk with management and workers to find out how the industry and its jobs can be preserved not just in the short term, but in the years to come.
