General Motors may be looking more like Government Motors every day. Fritz Henderson is stepping down according to a report from CNBC’s Phil Lebeau, citing sources. What is not clear is if Henderson was asked or told to resign in the symbolic falling-on-the-sword maneuver or if Henderson just couldn’t take running the company under the constraints with the government being involved in every decision.

Either way, this is another blow for the government’s “oversight and pay shouldn’t matter” stance it has when running giant corporations. American International Group, Inc.
