it seems like gm is going to pay up big time. there is talk of a $3 billion fund, but we will see if she says more about that today. >> they will be focused, as was margaret carlson. between gmparallel and christie, paid exonerated can do more harm than good. hadstie did not get what he taxpayers pay for. no report can save gm from what it did. perhaps if mr. feinberg comes in and doles out money. what is mary barra think she is doing to change it? the think she still has possibility of a really bright future. she came on as ceo in the middle of january.

it seems that as soon as she took the reins of this company, she started to act on this important issue. there are a lot of interesting coincidences. until theot come government had exited its stake in the company. this seems to be her first order of business. she wants to get this behind her. an errort make up for that caused the loss of human life. she wants to get it behind her the best she can. she wants to spin it forward. gm said this is the older that made these errors. the new gm is customer oriented. we are not cost oriented and quality and safety are our focus is. >> thank you, matt miller. he will do anything to get into a baseball game. he is going to go see the orioles and the red sox today. something like that. matt miller in washington. important testimony by mary barra. >> date to.
