Subject: Chrysler's Railroad

This could be a scandal of epic proportions and one that makes Nixon's Watergate or Clinton 's Monica Lewinsky affair pale by comparison. Why was there neither rhyme nor reason as to which dealerships of the Chrysler Corporation were to be closed? Roll the clock back to the weeks just before Chrysler declared bankruptcy. Chrysler, like GM, was in dire financial straights and federal government graciously offered to "buy the company" and keep them out of bankruptcy and "save jobs." Chrysler was, in the words of Obama and his administration, "Too big to fail," the same story with GM.

The Feds organized their "Automotive Task Force" to fix Chrysler and GM.  Obama, in an act that is 100% unconstitutional, appointed a guy named Steve Rattner to be the White House's official Car Czar- literally, that's what his title is. Rattner is the liaison between Obama, Chrysler, and GM.

Initially, the national media reported that Chrysler had made this list of dealerships. That is not true. The Washington Examiner, Newsmax, FOX News and a host of other news agencies discovered that the list of dealerships was put together by the "Automotive Task Force" headed by no one other than Mr. Steve Rattner.  Now the plot thickens.

 

Remember earlier we said earlier that there was neither rhyme nor reason why certain dealerships were closed?  There is actually a very interesting pattern as to who was closed down. Again, on May 27, 2009 , The Washington Examiner and Newsmax exposed the connection. Amazingly, of the 789 dealerships closed by the Federal government, 788 had donated money, exclusively, to Republican political causes, while contributing nothing to Democratic political causes. The only "Democratic" dealership on the list was found to have donated $7,700 to Hillary's campaign, and a bit over $2,000 to John Edwards. This same dealership, reportedly, also gave $200.00 to Obama's campaign. Not does it seem to make sense to you?

Steve Rattner, the guy who put the list together... Well, he happens to be married to a gal named Maureen White.  Maureen happens to be the former national finance chairman of the Democratic National Committee. As such, she would have inside access to campaign donation records from everyone in the nation, Republican or Democrat. But of course, this is just a wacky coincidence, we're certain.

Then comes another really wacky coincidence. On that list of dealerships being closed down, a weird thing happed in Arkansas , North Louisiana , and Southern Missouri . It seems that Bill Clinton's former White House Chief of Staff, Mack McClarty, owns a chain of dealership in that region, partnered with a fellow by the name of Robert Johnson. Johnson happens to be founder of Black Entertainment Television and was a huge Obama supporter and financier. These guys own a half dozen Chrysler stores under the company title of RLJ-McClarty-Landers. Interestingly, none of their dealerships were ordered closed - not one- while all of their competing Chrysler/Dodge and Jeep dealership were! Eight dealerships located near the dealerships owned by McClarty and Johnson were ordered shut down. Thus, by pure luck, these two major Obama supporters now have virtual monopoly on Chrysler sales in their zone. Isn't that amazing? Go look in The Washington Examiner, the story's there, and it's in a dozen or so other web-based news organization... This isn't being made up.

Now if you thought Chrysler was owned by Fiat, you are truly mistaken. Under the federal court ruling, 65% of Chrysler is now owned by the federal government and the United Auto Worker's union- Fiat owns 20%. The other 15% is still privately owned and presumably will be traded on the stock market. Obama smiles and says he doesn't want to run the auto industry.

As horrifying as this is to comprehend, and being as how this used to be the United States of America , it would appear that the president has the power to destroy private businesses and eliminate upwards of 100,000 jobs, just because they don't agree with his political agenda. This is Nazi Germany stuff, and it's happening right here, right now, in your back yard. There are voices in Washington demanding an explanation, but the "Automotive Task Force" has released no information to the public or any of the senators demanding answers for what has been done. Keep your ear to the ground for more on this story. If you've ever wanted to make a difference about anything in your life, get on the phone to your national senator or representative in the House and demand an investigation on this.

Benjamin Franklin had it right when he said, "All that's necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."

Car Czar No More

An amazing thing happed as this story was going to press. Obama's Car Czar, Steve Rattner, resigned on July 13 and was promptly replaced by former steel workers union boss Ron Bloom. According to CBS News, Rattner left "to return to private life and spend time with his family." Treasure Secretary Tim Geithner said, "I hope that he takes another opportunity to bring his unique skills to government service in the future." By the way, Rattner is under investigation for a multi-million dollar pay-to-play investment bank scandal in New York . Uh-oh! But, we're certain that had nothing to do with his resignation. And, according to several news sources out there, there are rumors he's being investigated for what could be pay-to-play scandal involving the closing of Chrysler and GM dealerships. Really? Again, that couldn't have anything to with his resignation- that's ridiculous! Like CBS said, this guy just wants to spend more quality time with his family. Obama has 32 personally appointed "czars" that answer to no one but him, all of whom are acting without any Constitutional authority. But hey, we're sure they all have "unique skills," as Tim Geithner likes to say.

I`m always skeptical of this type of stuff as it always seems to comes from the "other" side and is therefore tainted in that view but this one does sound pretty bad and  with Rattner resigining looks bad also.I`d still like to hear the story from the other side though as they say there are three sides to every story and the truth is usually somewhere in the middle.How many dealerships are owned by each party,how were thier performances etc.?I also don`t think it will make something like Watergate "pale" in comparison-it`s not that big,in fact it`s politics as usual on the hill no matter which party is involved.     ::)

As you can see I've posted no personal comments on this. I posted this the way I got it. I got some mixed feelings on this myself......

I've heard some talk about this, and I agree that if this were completely, or even mostly true, it would be the BIGGEST political scandal of all time. But I dont know the facts, and you have to assume that all the scorned dealers and their attorneys would be/will be all over this if true. Too many "facts" are available all over the internet, and it seems no one really vets this stuff properly. AND most importantly, maybe some do but how do you know who to trust?
I just cant imagine you can stomp on the dreams and assets of a thousand business savvy millionaires and get away with it so easily, but I also know we havent heard the end of this.

What bothers me is how we seem to think our "side" (whichever it is) is looking out for us.  We need to wake up.  The Government's list of goals doesn't include making its people happier, healthier, safer, or financially sound.  It's goal is to serve its own interests so it can continue to exist.  Both parties are crap.

I wouldn't be surprised at anything that this administration does. They have a free pass to do anything by 95% of the Media.  :grinyes:
