ACORN has recieved 53 million so far and is set to receive another 3 billion of Tarp funds through Barney Franks Housing Bill. Go to Michele Bachmann site for details but we have to stop Barney Frank and his foney legislation.
Good old boy Barney if there is a pie with money in it Barney had his fingers in it. STOP BARNEY TODAY.

the new GM… Everyone one of the 535 will be looking out for their districted… For GM to be competitive the government will have to supplement half the car cost….

With decisions and interventions like these, what in the world are GM and Chrysler going to look like in 2012? Democrats in general and Frank in particular have no clue what it takes to operate a business enterprise. At least watching him try might be good for a few laughs.

These companies will need continuous federal funding to keep operating because they probably won’t be able to produce automobiles that people will voluntarily purchase. ( for a look at what the GM product line might look like in 2012 - and perhaps for a laugh - you can look at: http://firstconservative.com/blog/political-humor/political-humor-general-motors-in-2012 )

Frank, Obama and Company have never operated a business and Obama Himself has never had a real job where he was responsible for producing a product that people want.

to show up and claim there was no political influence here.

We need more learned discourse from 538.com, Sean Parnell, and all the statistical whiz kids on why this is bogus.

The Administration promises to wield a light ownership hand, but it’s only a matter of time before Congress starts to micromanage GM’s business judgments. Every decision to close a plant will be second-guessed, much like a military base-closing.

I thought they would wait at least a week first.

During a telephone briefing with reporters the night before Obama’s speech, a senior administration official made the point even more explicitly. “The government will not interfere with or exert control over day-to-day company operations,” the official said. “As a shareholder, the government will limit what it votes on to core governance issues, particularly the selection of the company’s board of directors; major corporate events or transactions.”

The bottom line: No government interference with the automakers, unless it involves a “fundamental corporate decision,” or the selection of the companies’ boards, or a “major corporate event” or some important transaction. Obama has placed a giant asterisk next to his pledge not to run GM and Chrysler.

Promise from a Democrat are like are like a canoe made of cardboard..

Living in Michigan, this news is a load of crap…..Amazing the political pull these Democrats have heh?

The GM plant I believe what you are referring to is a parts and distribution center. Sadly manufacturing has left the state. Yes, Massachusetts was the first state in the US to manufacture cars and also had one of the first planed industrial cities in the world but that is all gone. In most every city and town the largest employer is now, if not close, is that city or town. Soon the only thing remaining will be to officially rename the state Taxachusetts the Marxist Welfare State, sickening. With no work I may soon join the Mass exodus of this state.

If you look at how NASA or the pentagon distributes contracts for large programs, it always winds up being a map of political power. This is why launch control for Florida is in Texas.

In this case you can expect any district that has a GM plant closing to start to shout, and why not ? They paid for gm they have a right to expect a payback. Then it will be why doesn’t my district have GM business ?

Then as GM fails to turn a profit at whatever it will be calling an automobile you can expect legislation to hobble anyone competing.

Barney Frank is my Congressman and I drive a Pontiac…. errr, no comment.

If there’s one person more to blame for this depression than Barney Frank, I don’t know who it is. His continuing to be elected despite being extremely annoying and incompetent is surely proof that Northeastern libs want to force socialism and a radical social agenda upon us all.

to learn that GM has any sort of manufacturing in Massachusetts. Really? In Mass.? I can’t fathom that place being a money spinner.
I worked as an engineer supporting a microelectronics factory (since closed) in suburban Boston 10 years ago. That state, exuse me, “commonwealth,” is just plain hostile to manufacturing.
