You know want else is funny? Revisionist history.
your attempt to establish inaccuracy as fact strikes me as sad instead of anything close to amusing.
firstly, i guess we're to accept in your lil world, 65 or so days is the equivalent of "a few weeks" rather than over 2 months as the rest of the world tracks time.
more importantly, from your own sources,
polirxo.xom'a headline was:
GM CEO resigns at Obama's behest
chi sun-times article ends by contradicttng its original claim & premise:
Wagoner said in a statement early Monday that he was asked to "step aside" during a meeting with Obama administration officials on Friday, and he consented.
the ny post did the same thing much more quickly, like in its second paragrah:
Wagoner, who had been at the helm of the automaker for eight years, hit the road after the administration threatened to withhold bailout money from the company if he didn't.
you've never been fired or fired anyone else?
i can only speak to one having never experienced the former. perhaps it's just me (although i suspect otherwise) but none whose employment i terminated were "asked" or "threatened" or merely "resigned at my behest".
ask implies a choice by its nature as does threaten (altho not, perhaps, involving so much latitude). things done at my behest are most likely considered favors but might include acting on my recommendation all the way to responding agreeably to my serious suggestion.
on the other hand, maybe you're confused about what constitutes being fired because for years when you heard one after another of your former bosses utter something like, "ain't it bout time for you to go home?" you did. next day, when he didn't call you with an invitation to return, you considered yourself outta a job and began applying elsewhere.
