More Dirt on the Chrysler Deal - Part 1

The takeover of Chrysler is a very dirty story. Sooner or later it will all come to light!

This could be a scandal of epic proportions and one that makes Nixon's Watergate or Clinton 's Monica Lewinsky affair pale by comparison. Back in 2009, I wrote a post on the Chrysler bankruptcy and how Obama swindled the bondholders out of their rightful ownership in the company under conventional contract law and gave most of the company to the UAW union, who was directly the primary cause of the bankruptcy, http://conservativesideas.blogspot.com/2009/05/chrysler-bankruptcy-saved-by-fiat.html. Here is a footnote to that story, sent to me by a blogger, which shows how corrupt that deal really was.

“Why was there neither rhyme nor reason as to which dealerships of the Chrysler Corporation were to be closed as part of the bankruptcy? 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."

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 was. 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 $20000 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," right? Now comes another really wacky "coincidence." Stay tuned for Part 2 of this story.
