When we last left the negotiations between Chrysler’s senior bondholders and Barack Obama’s auto task force, Thomas Lauria and his clients alleged that the government used intimidation tactics and threatened to sic the White House press corps on individuals if they didn’t give up their rights to allow the unions to win in the bankruptcy. Congress took an interest in this”madman” theory of the Presidency and got access to some e-mails floating between the task force and an analyst. Rep, Steven LaTourette (R-OH) reads from the e-mails, in which the auto task force calls Lauria — their attorney — a “terrorist” and refuses to negotiate after a Chrylser expert consulted him:
Ms Underestimated writes: The important part comes at the end: an email exchange between Matthew Feldman, attorney on the President’s Auto Task Force, and Robert Manzo, Chrysler restructuring expert. Manzo is basically pleading to further negotiate to prevent bankruptcy, but Feldman is having none of it. Here is the exchange: Robert Manzo, Chrysler restructuring expert: “I hope you think it’s worth giving this one more shot.” Matthew Feldman, attorney on the President’s Auto Task Force: “I’m now not talking to you. You went where you shouldn’t.” Manzo: “Sorry. I didnt’ mean to say the wrong thing and I obviously did. I was trying oto make sure that if we had to contribute to the solution you knew we had some room. Sorry I did not realize the mistake!!” Feldman: “It’s over. The President doesn’t negotiate second rounds. We’ve given and lent billions of dollars so your team could manage this properly….And now you’re telling me to bend over to a terrorist like Lauria? That’s B.S.”

God Damnnit.
I’ve had enough. Find me a place to move. I can’t take much more.
Owellian - real terrorists are friends. Citizens are terrorists. War is peace. Love is hate. It’s 1984.
Shouldn’t that have been “man-caused disaster” since they did away with the word terrorist?
Don't move. Channel your anger and tell everyone you know what bothers you and get them to do the same. Remember that Sarah said "rise up."
This is war.
Obama and his admin are just a pure, unadulterated thugs.
No, don’t move, then they win. We need change, change you can believe in.
Of course it can be used when referring to people who are trying to take money from the democrat unions.
If ex-Bush lawyers can be sued for opinions, why can’t Obama lawyers be sued for opinions?
There is no place to move. This is the last place. We must take a stand; fight or surrender.
Terrorist? Tell that to the 9/11 victims, families, friends and survivors...out of line..but typical.
And what the h*ll is this?
“...threatened to sic the White House press corps on individuals if they didn’t give up their rights ...”
We don’t need to ‘move’. We need to stand up and fight like we never have before and throw the thugs out of office!!
Chicago thuggery politics...
Change we can believe in
“This is war.”
I’ve been saying it’s war for years. Glad to see others are finally recognizing that we are at war. It’s not just the WOT (that Obama is trying to disclaim), but it’s the much older war with the Left, the psycho-war in which our freedoms survival, and sanity are at stake.
We must rise up and put down everything that is the Left.

Has anyone heard from the White House "press corps" on this?
His fundamental change is to bring down the free market and traditional America and he is busily going about it before our very eyes.
We are at a pivotal crossroads in our nation's history. A very steep, very hard and dangerous roads leads one way...an abject fatal precipice leads the other.
FREEPER NOUMENON'S ASSESSMENT OF THIS POINT IN HISTORY - POST 15
The biggest problem this particular regime has is its inability to find and hire quality personnel. These dregs and charletons are going to be the ruination of everything and everyone they touch.
You are right and have been for awhile.
Timing is everything. Letterman has drawn the first blood at a time when regular folks are fed up with him, 0bama, the whole liberal thing.
Remember that Sarah said "rise up." This is war. The double-standard must die.
There is nowhere left to move. We either fix the mess here or the world enters darkness...
Can’t we just buy an island somewhere so we can live in peace?????
Good Call...Rats can use Websters Dictionary...the rest of us have to use the PC Police Redacted version!
Excellent question..
Also...Are the press corps willing accomplices? ((Smirk))
I’m going to bed.
(Yeah that’s right, I’ve been up all night. My head is going to explode. Did I already mention that my country is going down the drain? Are you sleeping well these days? Well, I’m not either!)
*pounding my head on monitor*
I’ll have a fresher point of view tomorrow.
I hope.
Ministry of Truth, or Mini Truth.
Just an fyi—
Calling a lawyer a TERRORIST! That is an INSULT to all true terrorists EVERYWHERE! LOL.
Terrorist is the new black.
You’re NOT the only one. (And sleep well)
While I believed 9/11 changed our perceptions on social issues, I think you are right. It’s very wrong to make terrorist politically incorrect.
Liberalism (leftism) has been destroying this country systematically and incrementally for DECADES. Do you really think people are going to "rise up" now, after everything that has happened? I doubt it. The people are asleep and dreaming. Liberalism has doped them into oblivion and obliviousness. We few here are all that's left of the mentality and values that made this country great.
We allowed the press to become pro-leftist, anti-liberty, AND anti-Christian. Our first mistake. We allowed the leftists to indoctrinate our children in public schools over the past five decades. Our second mistake. We then allowed the leftists to slime their way into the highest office, not once, but twice now. Our last, but probably fatal, mistake.
Since November 2006, and especially over the past five months, this country has been on a rapid downslide into destruction, led by the known socialists/communists in our government. What makes you think anyone will give a damn to "do anything", much less rise up, about it now?
Unless you can think of a way to wake the idiot majority of Americans up from their la-la-liberal-land slumber, I'm afraid we are doomed.
Suggestion-
If you are serious about moving, take a look at this map:
Look at this interactive map:

I think this is a great indicator for where the real problems are going to arise in 6-9 months when the benefits begin to run out.
Good luck
While we feel your pain, remember... Madam Du Farge didn't leave France. The fun part hasn't started yet...
Good one!
Anyone who disagrees with the Fascists from the American Neo-Left are now to be labeled as Terrorists, Torturers, Nazi’s, etc.
Actually Nazi os so yesterday, they now prefer Terrorist and Torturer so much more....
Check tag.
The word “terrorist” is now reserved for those who would dare to disagree with Obama.
just more of zero’s thuggery against Americans while he apologized for America....
“Do you really think people are going to “rise up” now, after everything that has happened?”
Not my point. I wasn’t discussing whether people are going to rise up now, I stated “MUST RISE UP”.
The negativism in your post reminds me of the Liberal in the sitcom throwing her arms into the air and screaming “I give up” when confronted by total insanity.
There are options such as not giving up. That is the option I will persue.
I’d like to think that we still have a chance to undo the damage that’s been done, but unfortunately, it’s still being done and I believe it will be in the category of devastating to our country. It’s true that revolution comes from the minority. But what point of devastatuib abd destruction does it have to get to for this revolution to finally begin? There IS such a thing as waiting till it’s too late...and since timing is everything, I’m sticking to my doom & gloom stance. I think the time to fight has come and gone. I think the country will just continue to sit by while we are destroyed from the KNOWN enemies within.
We have no real leadership, other than Sarah Palin. If that’s not a sad and pathetic indication of how far we’ve fallen, I don’t know what is. One woman, one conservative in the whole damned country that shows guts, balls and honesty. I’m feeling pretty sick these days.
Pardon my rant.
Show me a leader that will lead us towards fighting this heinous Marxist takeover and I will follow. I never give up, but since there IS no such leader, my observation stands. How long do we sit around and wait while the country is taken over and destroyed from within? Until several cities are nuked? Until radical Islam launches an all-out assault against us, enabled by their new Muslim President of the USA? What the hell are we waiting for, if not that?
Hell no I’m not giving up. I’m just damned mad and frustrated that we’re just letting it all happen while we pontificate daily about what’s happening and do NOTHING ELSE.
I suspect that if I type what is in my mind this minute, that I will be permanently banned from this joint.
Send me a private message then. I’m betting that we agree 100%.
Sounds to me like we have TERRORISTS and BULLYS and ABUSE OF OFFICE all over uhbama's White House auto task force.
WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING ON?
This email demonstrates that we NO LONGER HAVE AN OPERATING WHITE HOUSE THAT FOLLOWS RULES OF DECENCY AND DEMOCRACY.
What is that SHIT about " uhbama doesn't do 'second rounds'???????? What IS that crap?
And this PIG of a lawyer from uhbama's inner sanctum of 'take control of Chrysler' has the NERVE to call Chrysler's negotiator a TERRORIST??????????????????????????????
It makes me sick to read the email above with the groveling going on....I wish that Attn Manzo, the restructing attorney had told that PIG with his snout in the government trough to go take a flying leap and stuff the 'No second negotiation' crap up his great big you know what, and then to do the same for his blue lipped boss.
That’s one scary map isn’t it. I checked the stats for 2 yrs, and then the latest...which was march of ‘08. To see it in county by county form gives us a better perspective. Thank you for posting that link. So are you thinking that when the benefits run out...the crime in the red areas will increase 10-fold?
