Shock!Big Dem Donor Group Allowed to Keep 6 Chrysler Dealerships Open..Local Competitors Eliminated

Are we looking at the biggest political scandal since Watergate?

Big Dem Donor Group allowed to keep all 6 Chrysler dealerships open.... Local competitors eliminated by Obama's task force!!

Earlier it was reported that the Obama Administration may have targeted GOP donors in deciding which Chrysler dealerships would have to close their doors.

Now there's this...

RLJ-McLarty-Landers is owned by three men.

One was the former Chief of Staff for President Clinton.

One is the founder of Black Entertainment Television and a huge Obama supporter.

All 6 of their Chrysler dealerships will remain open.

And, get this... Their local competitors have been eliminated!

*snip*

Joey Smith reported tonight that a Democratic donor group in the Midwest and South will not have to close any of their Chrysler dealerships:

The company is called RLJ-McLarty-Landers, and it operates six Chrysler dealerships throughout the South. All six dealerships are safe from closing. The dealer locations are:

Bentonville, AR (northwest Arkansas) Lee's Summit, MO (south of Kansas City, MO) Branson, MO Olathe, KS (near Kansas City) Bossier City, LA (near Shreveport) Huntsville, AL

The interesting part is who the three main owners of the company are. The owners are Steve Landers (long-time car dealer, 4th-generation dealer), Thomas "Mack" McLarty (former Chief of Staff for President Clinton), and Robert Johnson (founder of Black Entertainment Television and co-owner of the NBA's Charlotte Bobcats). Landers has given money to Republicans in the past, but McLarty campaigned for Obama in 2008, and Johnson has given countless amounts of money to Democrats over the years.

More... The decision to close the dealerships was made by Obama officials and not Chrysler.

Doug Ross first reported on this scandal and has several updates.

Shock? Not at all. This is to be expected when the government runs a business.

In the long run, it will be better for those whose Chrysler dealerships were eliminated.

These profitable and successful dealers will be sought after by Ford and other automakers.

I know of no one who will ever buy a GM or Chrysler.

The way Obama’s election campaign & lap-dog press went after his rivals during the campaign was unprecedented.

Think about this, Obama was NOT an almighty, long term, powerful politician when he was running, he was only a US Sen for 4 yrs.

But he wielded power like he was as powerful as Stalin in USSR.

Now that he's in control of the Exec Branch of the US, just think how much power he has now!

Obama is one nasty and vindictive little scumbag.

I still cannot believe the revelations that I read with each passing day.

The guy is as filthy as raw sewage, and he is as evil as hell.

I hope that Rush keeps this front and center!

If true, this is enormous.

It bodes poorly for America and the rule of law.

Welcome to New Kenya! Africa U.S.A. Where the law of the jungle has replaced the Law of the Land!

“I know of no one who will ever buy a GM or Chrysler”

Maybe republicans in those areas should make known publicly that they will not do business with these dealers.

Pure, classic fascism.

This story has enough weight behind it to have long legs. I hope it causes tons of damage to the Obama administration.

I wondered about campaign contributions from the get-go. This is scandalous!

The Dems can do whatever they want to the car dealers because most Americans think they are beneath dirt and just a bunch of con men.

So they are getting what they deserve, is what Americans think.

This is the probably the attitude that the Dems are getting the approval ratings with, for their leader Obama the liberal socialist.

Not all that surprising—many of the administration are after all from Illinois....

There’s another Deep Throat out there wondering when he should come forward and with whom he should speak. Let’s hope that there are still journalists out there who care about the truth and have the moral courage to investigate this corruption and expose the Obama administation.
