The point being that it's a tad absurd for him to say on TV that he plans on participating in the plan that he himself came up with without pointing out the fact that it is, in fact, his plan! Bill Gross has working both sides of the fence on a number of occasions recently and he needs to be called out on it. His actions with regards to GMAC were highly questionable.

I would have just wanted to see one of those guys to tell him to shut up and just say that they don't know what is the right choice to make instead of giving all those softball run around answers.
