Did GM CEO Fritz Henderson's Daughter, Sarah Henderson, Rant On Facebook?

Gm Facebook

Did the daughter of GM's resigned CEO Fritz Henderson write an incendiary message on the company's Facebook fan page, trash-talking the automaker's chairman?

Automotive blog Jalopnik has posted a screen grab of a message posted by someone claiming to be Henderson's daughter. Henderson resigned after GM's board concluded that change was not happening fast enough at the troubled company. The message by Sarah Henderson was posted to GM's Facebook fan page and was typed in all caps:

HE FUCKING GOT ASKED TO SETEP DOWN ALL OF YOU FUCKING IDIOTS. IM FRITZ'S FUCKING DAUGHTER, AND HE DID NOT FUCKING RESIGN. WHITACRE IS A SELFISH PIECE OF SHIFT [sic], WHO CARES ABOUT HIMSELF AND NOT THE FUCKING COMPANY. HAVE FUN WITH GM, I HOPE TO NEVER BUY FROM THIS GOD FORESAKEN COMPANY EVERY AGAIN [sic]. FUCK ALL OF YOU.

The post has since been removed, and the poster's identity cannot be confirmed. A search for the name "Sarah Henderson" returns 339 pages of Facebook search results. It's unclear if the profile picture attached to the post matches any of those "Sarah Henderson" profiles on Facebook.

There is one profile that stands out. This Sarah Henderson (whose profile is private), has ties to Michigan, claiming to have graduated from the University Of Michigan in 2008. Fritz Henderson was once the CEO of Sara Lee Corporation.

CORRECTION: Fritz Henderson was never the CEO of Sara Lee.

I thought automobile people always blame the unions for their woes. Never could understand that because the union had to negotiate with the head guys who were making millions each year. Who was the smartest guy in the room? The unions did not design the krappy cars that no one wanted.

Now that Obama tacked unemployme­nt benefits he needs to set his focus no on WALL STREET REGULATION and JOBS

good articles; http://fin­anceopinio­nss.blogsp­ot.com

20% real unemployme­nt combined with record wall street bonuses will give his political enemies plenty of fodder in 2012

This is hilarious. With the billions (that's right billions!!­!) spent on rescuing this "private" company between bailouts and Cash4Clunk­ers, they still can't produce a vehicle that will outsell the Japanese. Maybe they should realize that Americans need jobs before they can buy cars. The last batch of overpriced cars they brought off the assembly line just got repossesse­d (see: http://www­.repofinde­r.com) from unemployed Americans. I'd rather push a Toyota than drive a GM.

You do not need to push a Toyota. The accelerato­r will get stuck and you can just keep running.

I never had a muffin go on the fritz!

Fritz Henderson was once CEO of Sarah Lee? Maybe he knows more about muffins than motors.

Whatever happens to him he needs no pity. Regardless of thier ineptitude­, they leave with MILLIONS and so it will be with Fritz as he creis all the way to the bank. (One that's still solvent.)

Well, now it's clear that someone at the top at GM was part of the problem, and someone else was part of the solution.

Further time will be required to ascertain which of the two is which.
