Top Senate Republican opposes $14B auto bailout pushed by White House, congressional Democrats

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The top Senate Republican says he''s against a $14 billion bailout for U.S. automakers, breaking with President George W. Bush.

Minority Leader Mitch McConnell says the measure "isn''t nearly tough enough" on struggling automakers. The Kentucky Republican says a primary weakness in the measure is with the so-called "car czar." McConnell says that post wouldn''t have the power to force the car companies to make the tough concessions needed to ensure their survival.

And McConnell says the government shouldn''t intervene in some industries and not others.

The measure is the product of a hard-fought deal between Democrats and the Bush White House. It passed the House on Wednesday night, and Democrats were trying to push it through the Senate as early as day''s end.
