I can see president Bush/treasury stepping in at the last minute and providing enough money to get them through the holidays and into the Obama administration. He's said he wouldn't a couple weeks ago, but he's got nothing to lose now and it might even help his approval rating.
The sad part is Ford. Which was in the best shape and started their aggressive re-structuring plan a few years ago was just starting to see the light of day, will probably need some help too because of the fallout from the other two filing for bankruptcy.
