The Obama administration has been watching too many Sopranos re-runs.

It runs whatever industry it happens to be nationalizing at any point in time like Lucky Luciano ran the docks and longshoremen in New York in the 1930s and 1940s.

Good for Justice Ginsburg.

Good for the Indiana police and firefighters’ unions.

Let the Fiat deal fall through and let Chrysler fail.

As an aside, has anyone been thinking about what government ownership of the US auto industry will do to NASCAR?

The problem with NASCAR for the last 20 years has been too MUCH money.

That problem will be soon solved.

I can see it now – minority drivers start at the front on yellow flag re-starts.

Do we have to endure an entire presidency that gets a pat on the head for every grand theft ripoff. I say this dude’s done enough to get impeached.

Either HuffPo and MSM ignore it day by day, or they turn it around into something it’s not. And for the angry troll above, remember this SHOULD HAVE been a landslide victory, another Reagan re-do what with Bush’s unpopularity. But 60 million still said NObama. And that was against all the funny money taken in on the fake credit card donations. There is no transparency here. Can the republic survive this man?

Glenn Beck said over the weekend, it’s like watching some form of theater. It gets more and more unreal every day, what these thugs are pulling.

Mon, 04 May 2009 20:00:26 +0000

[...] Classic: An attorney representing several Chrysler bondholders accused the Obama administration of intimidating his clients by issuing threats of public humiliation if they opposed their brokered deal to resolve the automaker’s debts. Speaking to WJR, Thomas Lauria said that the White House called the bondholders “vultures” for insisting on their rights as senior creditors and told them that the Obama administration would use the White House press corps to attack them in the media. Corky Boyd has the transcript (also via HA reader Geoff A): Lauria: Let me tell you it’s no fun standing on this side of the fence opposing the President of the United States. In fact, let me just say, people have asked me who I represent. That’s a moving target. I can tell you for sure that I represent one less investor today than I represented yesterday. One of my clients was directly threatened by the White House and in essence compelled to withdraw its opposition to the deal under the threat that the full force of the White House Press Corps would destroy its reputation if it continued to fight. That’s how hard it is to stand on this side of the fence. [...]

This stuff is never made public unless somebody is going under the bus. I think Rahm is toast. Could it be that Rahm is going to be named in the Blago indictment?

FTA:

Perella Weinberg’s founder, Joseph Perella, made Rahm Emanuel rich. In his two-and-a-half years between the Clinton White House and Congress, Emanuel made $16.2 million working at Wasserstein and Perella. I argued in a column last November that Emanuel’s value to the firm was his political connections.

Your comparison of Obama to Chavez is spot on. there is no denying it, but the American public refuses to see it because well….this is America…it can’t happen here. Well it is happening.

Until conservatives and even independents/moderate dems wake up and become activist against the take over of the republic and trashing of the constitution, it will continue unabated. Civil disobedience, tax revolts, and the likes are called for.
