Chrysler Railroad story
Sooner or later it will all come to light!
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 straits 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," 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'. 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 that there was neither rhyme nor reason why
certain dealerships were closed?
Actually there's 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.
Does that seem a little odd to you?
Steve Rattner is the guy who put the list together. Well, he happens to
be married to a Maureen White. Maureen happens to be the former
national finance chairman of the Democratic National Committee. As
such, she has 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 happened
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.

RLJ-McLarty-Landers
Automotive Group is a partnership between the RLJ Companies and
McLarty-Landers Automotive. The partnership combines the 10 existing
dealerships owned by Mack McLarty, former Bill Clinton chief of staff,
and his partner Steve Landers with a capital commitment from the RLJ
Companies which will be used to acquire additional dealerships.

(Bloomberg) -- The United Auto
Workers union’s
retiree health-care fund will own 55 percent of Chrysler LLC in
exchange for cutting in half the automaker’s $10.6 billion cash
obligation to the trust, people familiar with the matter said.
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 our back yard.
There are voices in Washington demanding an explanation, but the
"Automotive Task Force" has released no information to the public or to
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 into 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 happened 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."
Treasury 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!

Steven
Rattner,
the leader of the Obama administration's auto task force, was
one of the executives involved with payments under scrutiny in a probe
of an alleged kickback scheme at New York state's pension fund,
according to a person familiar with the matter. Friday, April 17,
2009

The
Wall Street Journal reported Thursday night that Rattner was involved
with payments at the center of an investigation into an alleged
kickback scheme at New York state's pension fund. Sourcing their
information to a "person familiar with the matter," Journal reporters
Craig Karmin and Peter Lattman reported that Rattner, who was then an
executive at Quadrangle Group, an investment firm he co-founded, met
with a "politically connected" consultant to discuss a finder's fee.
Quadrangle later paid a $1.1 million fee, and received a $100 million
investment from the New York State Common Retirement Fund.

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" who 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!
SOOOOO.HOWS THE CHANGE WORKING FOR YOU?..

Evidence appears to be mounting that the Obama administration has systematically targeted for closing Chrysler dealers who contributed to Repubicans. What started earlier this week as mainly a rumbling on the Right side of the Blogosphere has gathered some steam today with revelations that among the dealers being shut down are a GOP congressman and closing of competitors to a dealership chain partly owned by former Clinton White House chief of staff Mack McLarty.
Obama’s
auto
policy: All in the Democratic family
By: Timothy P. Carney
Examiner Columnist
May 6, 2009
President Barack Obama’s auto industry policy promises to heighten the
influence of lobbyists and to open the door to ethical transgressions
and even outright corruption. By naming as car czar a financier who is
also a Democratic fundraiser steeped in cozy business-government
relationships, and by replacing the traditional bankruptcy procedures
with the will of politicians, Obama has injected Detroit with all the
elements of crony capitalism.
This goes beyond corruption in high places - to gross criminal
actions on the part of our government! I hope you will spread this far
and wide, and hopefully the taxpaying public will demand some of that
transparency we were promised......followed by criminal prosecution of
the perpetrators!
What a crooked government, we have!!!!! Vote 'em all
out...November, 2010!
