“Is it possible that the Administration is this stupid or are they that arrogant and/or criminal?”

Yes.

It likely will be. The dealers will sue, and now the government owns a ‘private’ company. The plaintiff’s attorneys will ask the defendant to show cause for the closure, since each dealer buys their franchise from Chrysler.

Well - I’m glad they’re taking their time with this.

They really need to get this right and treat it a little Devil’s Advocate approach.

If this can be proven - it really ought to end with impeachment and have a massive impact on next year’s elections as well as ‘012.

Speaking of red counties....I live in one of the few red counties of NYState.

The presidential helicopter program was awarded to a branch of Lockheed Martin that was stationed here.

Obambi just shut the whole durn thing down even though his chopper is 30 yrs. old.

How much ya wanna bet he’s trying to reopen the program in Chris Dodd’s backyard?

Not if a motion is filed in the bankruptcy court.

If members of a class are being treated unequally there is grounds for objection.

Essentially Obama is making a thought crime class of creditors. A clear violation of the 1st amendment freedom of association as well as the bankruptcy rules.

Who would care? “Moderate” republicans would continue to cower in fear, and would continue to insist on supporting Obama’s agenda!

from the article:
This story is about ready to explode. All the ingredients are there for a gigantic political scandal that would shake the Obama administration to its foundation and perhaps take down several high ranking officials. All that's needed is one connecting piece of evidence that would tie the White House Automotive Task Force to some political arm of the Democratic party.
We need to keep digging, patriots!

What other methods have been used against Chicagoland gangsters? Tax evasion? hmmmmmmm...

"No facts please, we're Democrats."

Sen. Bunning asked Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner about Administration influence in deciding which car dealers lost their business.

Secretary Geithner stumbled a bit.

Well, what if interoffice communications surface showing that indeed the Administration did pick the victims. Will that prove Administration shenanigans?

Not to worry. I have the solution to this.

During the savings and loan scandal hearings Clinton Treasury official Josh Steiner brushed aside incriminating statements in his diary by simply testifying that he "lied to his diary." "No problem! Thank you, Mr. Steiner. Next witness."

Secretary Geithner, just say that you and your staff lied to the interoffice memos!

Just trying to help. Don't have to thank me.

though you all might like this (probably one of those snopes things, but it still sounds good):

Subject: Excellent Letter
TEACHER SLAMS OBAMA
April 17, 2009
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington , DC 20500
Mr. Obama:
I have had it with you and your administration, sir. Your conduct on your recent trip overseas has convinced me that you are not an adequate representative of the United States of America collectively or of me personally.
You are so obsessed with appeasing the Europeans and the Muslim world that you have abdicated the responsibilities of the President of the United States of America . You are responsible to the citizens of the United States .. You are not responsible to the peoples of any other country on earth.
I personally resent that you go around the world apologizing for the United States telling Europeans that we are arrogant and do not care about their status in the world. Sir, what do you think the First World War and the Second World War were all about if not the consideration of the peoples of Europe ? Are you brain dead? What do you think the Marshall Plan was all about? Do you not understand or know the history of the 20th century?
Where do you get off telling a Muslim country that the United States does not consider itself a Christian country? Have you not read the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution of the United States ? This country w as founded on Judeo-Christian ethics and the principles governing this country, at least until you came along, come directly from this heritage. Do you not understand this?
Your bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia is an affront to all Americans. Our President does not bow down to anyone, let alone the king of Saudi Arabia . You don’t show Great Britain , our best and one of our oldest allies, the respect they deserve yet you bow down to the king of Saudi Arabia . How dare you, sir! How dare you!
You can’t find the time to visit the graves of our greatest generation because you don’t want to offend the Germans but make time to visit a mosque in Turkey . You offended our dead and every vet eran when you give the Germans more respect than the people who saved the German people from themselves. What’s the matter with you?
I am convinced that you and the members of your administration have the historical and intellectual depth of a mud puddle and should be ashamed of yourselves, all of you.
You are so self-righteously offended by the big bankers and the American automobile manufacturers yet do nothing about the real thieves in this situation, Mr. Dodd, Mr. Frank, Franklin Raines, Jamie Gorelic, the Fannie Mae bonuses, and the Freddie Mac bonuses. What do you intend to do about them? Anything? I seriously doubt it.
What about the U.S. House members passing out $9.1 million in bonuses to their staff members - on top of the $2.5 million in autom atic pay raises that lawmakers gave themselves? I understand the average House aide got a 17% bonus. I took a 5% cut in my pay to save jobs with my employer. You haven’t said anything about that. Who authorized that? I surely didn’t!
Executives at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will be receiving $210 million in bonuses over an eighteen-month period, that’s $45 million more than the AIG bonuses. In fact, Fannie and Freddie executives have already been awarded $51 million - not a bad take. Who authorized that and why haven’t you expressed your outrage at this group who are largely responsible for the economic mess we have right now.
I resent that you take me and my fellow citizens as brain-dead and not caring about what you idiots do.
We are watching what you are doing and we are getting increasingly fed up with all of you.
I also want you to know that I personally find just about everything you do and say to be offensive to every one of my sensibilities.
I promise you that I will work tirelessly to see that you do not get a chance to spend two terms destroying my beautiful country.
Sincerely,
Every real American
P.S. I rarely ask that emails be ‘passed around’...PLEASE SEND THIS TO YOUR EMAIL LIST...it’s past time for all Americans to wake up!

This is precisely why The Founders, in their great wisdom, placed our protections against capricious government power into our Constitution — which Obama and the Democrats are currently deconstructing, currently with little opposition. It was precisely to protect us from such evil doings by evil people.

I hate to say it, but yes, I think it is over. Look at the socialist blitzkrieg since January. It’s been totally unopposed. The financial sector and major auto manufacturers have been essentially nationalized. 0bama’s spending commitments mean that we will be taxed into poverty to pay for it. All real productive elements of our economy are only about 18 months away from shutting down due to taxation, regulation and restricted markets. We are not far from de facto government rationing of just about everything we once relied upon getting in a free market. And even then there will be things we once took for granted that are simply not available.

The press continues to cover for 0bama and his regime, as they are already the propaganda arm of the communist party. The drumbeat of “bad news” has cowed the American public; they are now afraid of losing their material possessions, which mean more to them than their liberty. Well guess what? We’ve lost our liberty, and the material possessions are not far behind.

Yeah, I know I’m being defeatist but Rush Limbaugh warned us years ago. Once the left gets back in power, he said, they will stack the deck so that they never have to fear losing power again. Well, the deck has been stacked.
