CNN: Rattner had been Managing Principal of Quadrangle Group LLC, a private investment firm with more than $6 billion of assets under management that specialized in investments in media and communications companies. Rattner is a former reporter for The New York Times.

A source close to Rattner told CNNMoney that he is not returning to Quadrangle.

That was Brian Deese. He was in charge of the GM bankruptcy.

I don’t know what Ratface Rattner doesn’t blame his problems on TurboTax (or Quickbooks or whatever). Worked for Timmah!

It hasn’t been mentioned on the ABC radio news, yet. Are the Lamestream Media types going to shush this up?

And it’s likely that none of them will be convicted of anything. Ain’t that a sad commentary?

Does Obama know any honest American Citizens? or any honest people at all, regardless of where they live on this Planet?

Steve is an extremely smart and astute man who has been extremely successful in the Business World, as compared to OBOZO who has done ZERO his entire lifeincluding taking creditfor writing his “Memoirs” which in fact most probably were written by Bill Ayers to create a backround and story for his soon to be created “PUPPET.” Mr. Rattner knows a Looser very quickly and one can bet he has zero tolerance for them.

Well, we can safely assume he knows nothing about the car or manufacturing business! or OBOZO would not feel comfortable with him and couldn’t tolerate him as one of his handpicked Czars!

You must be clairvoyant, this passed the wires not too long ago:

"he will be replaced by former steelworkers official Ron Bloom."

The Obamessiah THUGOCRACY continues on it's merry, corrupt way at OUR EXPENSE.
