The Obama administration, has taken away GM's ability to choose what cars to produce, Chrysler's choice of how to spend its marketing dollars, Chrysler's hedge funds ability to retain their contractual rights. They have the congress trying to take away your right to make your own medical decisions, threatened California for exercising its right to deal with unionized state works, and of course they are threatening our right to select which radio stations we can listen to.

This type of thing is nothing new in politics. Anyone remember how Nita Lowery was going to be Sen Moynihan's successor ... until she got a "call" from the Clintons? IIRC Lowery basically said "I'm not going to discuss it" in a very angry and bitter tone and kept her mouth shut over what had transpired.
