1. To help Government Motors
2. Toyota is mostly non-union
3. Toyota factories are mostly located in the South (red states)
4. Distraction for ramming through Obamacare
Let's check the Big 3's record on recalls that never got this much attention. Just google "largest auto recalls" and see who usually has plenty of them. That's not to say Toyota doesn't have a safety issue to deal with but I think there's a lot more to it mostly due to the Chicago thugs in the WH.
The lady who was crying yesterday during her testimony,,, SOLD the car. New owners have since put over 25.000 miles on the car and found NO PROBLEMS!
no surprise Hussein Obama to do something like this.
Yeah, but of course Hussein and the rest of the radical left wouldn’t DARE CONSIDER trampling on OUR rights or liberty!!! HA!!!
Not standard pratice BUT this tactic has been used before. Generally by the IRS. Was done to Ketchikan Pulp Company many years ago when I was living there for a ??????CLAIMED?????? Enviroment incident that did not happen. All it took was one disgrunted terminated employee and the Storm troopers came a knocking in the same fashion. Another example. Ellio Gonzales and Yanet Reno ring a bell???????
Wow. My paranoia about this administration is going off the charts....
Didn’t I hear Rush say today that since last week when the Chinese sold off a large portion of our debt that the Japanese now hold the largest portion of it?
Ve are here to make you safer.. You vill do as ve say or ..
I bet you Ford is next on his hit list.
It still won’t work. I would walk before I would ever buy a GM vehicle again. The tyranny is escalating fast.
You know, the simple fact that the government has their hands in GM and Chrysler just SCREAMS conflict of interest when it comes to a foreign business (even if they are in the wrong, which they may be...). It just reeks of possible impropriety on a business ethics level, and is just one more reason why the government should NOT have their hands in “private” companies and international industries.
I would expect this kind of action in the USSR; I don't expect it in the US. Obambi is trying to eliminate the competitors of Government Motors, and is using the federal JBTs to do so.
Methinks they may have gone too far, and done so much too publicly.
This action, so visible, will, IMHO, certainly discourage others from investing here.
After owning a Jeep product continuosly since 1993, I will NEVER buy another Government Motors car again. I am disgusted on what this country has come to.
It has begun and more to come in ways we can not even want to think of.
I want to go on record as being the one who said, from the very first post, that Toyota should come clean, apologize, fix the problem, and move on. But they didn’t, and this is the result.
I feel pretty certain that the Gov’t will conclude that the pedal wasn’t the main problem, software was.
I don’t see the “humor” in the key words, is it missing? /S
Hi, everyone,
Not sure if this has anything to do with it; but, the chickens in a way are coming home to roost in at least a couple of ways. Firstly; the prostitutes in congress are finally reaping what they sowed when they decided to let the Japanese buy them off back in the day and helped destroy the American car companies in favor of the Japanese ones. Secondly; did they really expect that the Japanese would be running the company the way we ran ours by letting the unions call the shots. That is part of what this is about. The congress is trying to appease the unions. JMHO
