Meet the guy managing your 50 billion dollar (so far) investment in what formerly was General Motors. His name is Brian Deese, he's 31 years old, and has no experience in the auto industry. For more, here are excerpts from Glenn Beck's, "The One Thing."
"Deese grew up in a Boston suburb, the son of a political science professor at Boston College. He moved to Vermont and attended Middlebury College, where he studied political science and also took time to host a campus radio show called "Bedknobs and Beatniks," described in one write-up as "a format of music, news, discussion and banter."
"He graduated college in 2000 and then it was onto a pair of non-profit think tanks: the Center for Global Development and the Center for American Progress.
"Eventually Deese went to Yale for a law degree, but a few credits short of graduating, he went "on leave" to work on Senator Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, quickly becoming her top economic policy staffer
"Last summer, Deese moved to the Obama campaign as a deputy economic policy director and, just before this current gig, he served on Obama's transition team as an economic adviser.
"He was apparently the only full-time member of the auto task force from election night until about Valentine's Day, which Deese says was, "a little scary."
"He "never spent much time flipping through the endless studies about the nature of the American and Japanese auto industries."
It's worth mentioning, though Beck doesn't say so in the piece, that the two think-tanks the kid worked for were George Soros operations.
It's just a damn shame the Administration couldn't have found a grown-up who knows something about making cars. I have family and friends that work at GM...
