White House Threatened Investors

Or better yet there's an interview with Tom Lauria who represents a group of lenders involved with Chrysler said one of his clients (Parella Weinberg) pulled out because the White House threatened the wrath of the White House Press Corps against them.

Obama is a punk, wannabe thug. I'm glad somebody stood up to him. Are their any men left in D.C.?

CHRYSLER

WHITE HOUSE INTERFERENCE

Chrysler and its “rogue” debt holders shouldn’t give in to the Administration’s bully pulpit.

Pressuring property (bond) owners

This is a problem of Morality vs. Immorality: violence and threats of violence against the investors by people who call themselves "The Government". Caving in will only embolden the immoral to use more violence. Appeasement never works.

Record their telephone calls, go to court, drag them through whatever remains of the Free Press in this country. Get as high a profile on this as possible, with as much publicity as possible.

Airlines have been made more efficient by bankruptcy too.

The American economy thrives on the school of hard knocks. Any industry and their labor force protected by government eventually rots, e.g. public schools in inner cities, USPS, etc.

Watch out for Chicago Attorneys

Yep, I'll bet right now our Favorite JR Senator is working some other un-Constitutional manuver to "force" this deal. Sure hope it doesn't fly.

I keep reading stories about when you know things are getting better with the economy...

It will be when business AND OUR CONGRESS step up and say NO WE WON'T, MR OBAMA!

investors, not unions

Thank God for people with spines. The American people are the ones getting screwed while union members and retirees retain their great pensions, salaries and benefits. You would think

the union would like to save a few more jobs at less salary, but

no way. Doesn't make sense.

Unions are just another layer for corruption...

ObamaMobile by UAW

What does the ObamaMobile look like? How well will it drive? What will be its fuel economy? How will the company remain solvent? And who in the heck will want to buy an ObamaMobile? NOT ME!

I hope the hedge funds lose their BUTT IN THE COURTS!

But what about consumer choice?

My problem is that Chrysler does make a vehicle I would like to buy but I am not in position to buy it. I have a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 with 104,000 miles on it. I was planning to get another one later this year or early next year. It is the best design available but I may not get one due to Chrysler's bankruptcy.
