Sorry ... but nothing could be further from the truth. Osborne is the head of Ford's 4th largest enterprise in the world and almost $14 billion in revenue and tens of thousands of jobs - it is a real-world position with real world responsibilities and an annual paycheque in excess of a million bucks, not including stock options and other perqs. Many of Osborne's predecesors were also on Ford's global executive board although it doesn't look like Osborne is.

But even if it was Bill Ford himself, one person alone simply can't make a unilateral decision to make or import a vehicle, and the sad fact for us is that decisions made about North American production are typically made with respect first to the American market.

BTW - although his assistanct certainly has access to his email (her name is Janet, nice lady) Osborne might very well open his email himself - all the Ford execs I worked with did to some degree.

I am almost certain that Janet was my Dad's secretary back when he worked there.
Is she an older woman(than me, maybe not you :D ) and quite attractive brunette?
