A Chicago thug who surrounded himself with yes-men coupled with a weak and ineffective Congress (and willing media) has set the stage for disaster.
There is more interest in the media regarding what clothes Michelle is wearing then the daily violations of law this President is doing. The entire Chrysler bailout needs to be challenged in court.

Mary Jo Kopechne’s family will receive for the estate?

Does this give any weight to Ken Lewis’ story? At the least, it’s the start of a pattern.

surely he must have realized that things like this always come out in the end, yes?

…except he has had the chance to learn this many, many times, and he still does things like this and apparently expects them to stay secret.

One definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. Accepting that, maybe Morrissey is right?

Crazy like a fox maybe?

Your “useful idiot” credentials are ready for pickup.

This is Chicago politics, or mob politics if you want to take out the politically correct name. It’s how politics are played there.

I do wonder if he knows what he’s doing is illegal, i.e. at the very least blackmail, but other than that, it’s what to expect until he gets voted out or reaches his term limits.

When he told the bankers that he was the only thing standing between them and the pitchforks, when the bonuses for AIG were discovered and only after the bonuses were villified was it known that most of those employees were working for $1/year just like the CEO who was hauled up to Capitol Hill for hearings. Obama’s handling of Irsael, Palestine, and Iran, making peace talks a condition for working on diplomacy with Iran.

What he has done to the CIA falls into the same category. He put them on notice that it will be done his way or he’ll be the one to out them.

Those creditors were put on notice during his announcement about the Chrysler bankruptcy. He didn’t have to say it was hedge funds creditors who were the hold out. From there it would be only a tiny step to naming names if they dug in too deep.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking this man is not smart when it comes to this type of work. He may be an idiot when it comes to foreign policy and Constitutional law but not in this because it’s what he has done for his entire political career.

being outed by the MSM when he does stuff like this. Good Lord, when I think of even half the stuff that he has gotten away with with nary so much as a whisper of disapproval from the press, then it’s no wonder that he takes chances such as this.

What I’m waiting for are the ones such as the attorneys in this mess as well as the ones who invested to finally throw down. You can’t screw over your own big donors and expect them to just take it and not fight back. Blue on blue action, my favorite kind of fight.

When firms such as White and Case says there were threats involved, one needs to listen very carefully. These are lawyers who live hardball tactics which don’t generally make the front page- unless they are both true and done with material destructive intent.

Yes, we know the storyline- lawyers and bankers are bad, politicians such as Obama are coming to the rescue. What bilge.

I wonder how long the MSM will continue to fool our public and permit the slow, unencumbered destruction of our country- all in deference to creating a myth around the Chief Petulant..

Please stand, he has entered the room- fools.

An administration official confirms that a $4 billion bridge loan and $3.2 billion in bankruptcy financing won’t be paid back by Chrysler following bankruptcy.

How many jobs was Obama going to create or save???

7 Billion down the drain + + to save 50,000 jobs??
Doesn’t make much sense.

The White House says there’s “no evidence”- note that Hitler was careful to only give verbal orders, too… and Obama’s not new to this sort of thing.

It’s plenty clear what really happened- Obama knows he owns the press corps… and he now even treats them with arrogant contempt, like children- hectoring reporters to “not waste their question”, telling them when they’ve “got enough pictures”, and even to “get back on the bus” in - ouch.

He wouldn’t call on Fox News after the TEA parties, and skipped the NYT at his presser a couple days after a 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?

Like most narcissists, Obama has no use for The Contstitution, law, religion, ethics, or anything else that gets in his way-

The idea that he’d sic his MSM sycophants on some bank that isn’t willing to do as he says doesn’t surprise me one iota.

Obama’s completely out-of-control. But what did anyone expect with a neutered press, compliant congress, and cabinet full of sycophants?
