I went to snopes.com, the rumor-checker site, and there was this email, verbatim. Snopes claims the rumor is false. Believe what you will.
“Believe what you will.”
As someone who “followed” the court reporters on twitter and the business cable channels during the bankruptcy, I found it absolutely unbelievable that those dealers were closed, without being compensated for the businesses. Then their business was given to the guy across the street.
Then Chrysler was already shopping for dealers to take over the open points (another name for franchise) left by the closed dealerships.
I was absolutely appalled that the Supreme Court did not hear the case from the Indiana “pensioners”.
At the time, after all the arm twisting that I had seen, I thought, “My God, Obama has the Supreme Court, too!! We are doomed.”
I would not be surprised at all that after some amount of time, we will find this to be the Obama-gate. The corruption is so deep and so infested, it is more than acorn and we will discover and reveal the truth in the end.
