Pay for play

On the obamunists attempts to coerce businesses....
ABC News reported that Steve Rattner, the leader of the Obama administration’s Auto Industry Task Force, threatened to ruin an investment firm’s reputation.

Check out the denial.

Jake Tapper called the White House for its side, and the flack said: “The charge is completely untrue, and there’s obviously no evidence to suggest that this happened in any way.”

Whoa. How does White House deputy press secretary Bill Burton know that there is “no evidence”?

President Obama embraced Venezuela dictator (and lefties hate when I call him a dictator because he was “elected” — as was Kim Jong-Il, Fidel Castro, Josef Stalin, Saddam Hussein and every other lefty dictator).

But the Obama administration threatens taxpaying Americans if they don’t give his government concessions that amount to a tax by taking less money than they loaned the businesses that Obama Inc. is taking over.

Tapper reported: “Thomas Lauria, Global Practice Head of the Financial Restructuring and Insolvency Group at White & Case, told ABC News that Rattner suggested to an official of the boutique investment bank Perella Weinberg Partners that officials of the Obama White House would embarrass the firm for opposing the Obama administration plan, which President Obama announced Thursday, and which requires creditors to accept roughly 29 cents on the dollar for an estimated $6.8 billion owed by Chrysler.”

In short, Obama wants companies to eat nearly $5 billion so that he can give away Chrysler to protect union jobs.

The unions that backed him. This is their payoff.

If true, this is the biggest corruption scam in American history.

But like Obama’s $750 million campaign jackpot, this alleged pay-to-play scam will not be investigated by the authorities, Congress or the press.

Maybe Tapper will stay on it, if Walt Disney-ABC lets him stay on the story.


But hey, He won

The White House says there's "no evidence"- note that's not a denial. Hitler was careful to only give verbal orders, too.

It's plenty clear- Obama KNOWS he owns the press corps... and even treats them with arrogant contempt, ie- hectoring reporters to "not waste their question", telling them when they've "got enough pictures", and even to "get back on the bus" in Chicago- ouch.

This out-of-control narcissist wouldn't call on Fox News after the TEA parties, and skipped the NYT at his presser a couple days after their reporter asked Obama if he was a "socialist". Since when is a refusal to answer legitimate questions and explain your actions to the American people acceptable in a US president?

Obama has no use for The Contstitution, law, religion, ethics, or anything else that gets in his way- The idea that he'd sick his MSM sycophants on some bank that isn't willing to do as he says doesn't surprise me one iota.
