This video offers us the interview with CEO of the General Motors.

 The reporter Adam Lashinsky said that the government owns 32% of General Motors and  that's often characterized as a loan that needs to be repaid to the U.S. government.

 Daniel Akerson explained that they've paid back all of their debt, and that around 23 billion dolars has been returned.  He also said that government is large shareholder of General Motors and that U.S. government  doesn't have representation in the boardroom. They brought in a new board after the bankruptcy and reconstituted the board with old directors. Daniel Akerson has spoken to the president twice.The president visited one of their Detroit area plants with the president of Korea when the free trade agreement was signed between the United States and South Korea.  He thinks that the president is a supporter of the company.
