The human cost of Obama’s theft of Chrysler dealerships
The Collins Report ^ | March 7, 2010 | Suzanne Eovaldi

“Did you close Chrysler Dealers who were on Republican donor lists?” I asked Obama’s newly appointed car czar Steven Rattner’s private phone line answering device last May 28. No one returned my call.

Even though Rattner is long gone, we need to remember of how American owners of private property were stripped of their legal right of possession and lawful title by a blatant power grab carried out by a far left Democrat White House.

Bill Wallace, owner of the Ft. Pierce Florida Chrysler Jeep dealership ordered closed, opened his files and his heart to me. While years of teaching men gave me an understanding how men guard their emotions and try to reveal neither anger nor elation, the abject pain of what was done to him appeared as his eyes spoke over his voice.

A warning redness, an ever deepening pool of pain in this man’s eyes, caused by his own government, made me a judge’s daughter realize an unconscionable and illegal wrong had been committed.

“The new guy wins everything; the old guy loses everything,” Wallace said, as his posture slumped from the weight of losing his family’s 70 year old business. He told me what was most galling was that his private property had been taken away and no one paid him a penny for the dealership that represented his life’s work. Wallace then reminded me this was being played out 789 times all across America, a country founded on private property ownership.

Getting even with Republicans?

Soon after the Chrysler closings were announced last year bloggers began checking 2008 election donor lists and developed evidence pointing to a preponderance of Republican leaning Chrysler dealer owners among the “closed” list. Of course the media largely ignored this data, but facts are sticky nettlesome things.

Another closed..

It is good to be reminded of this outrage. It will add to our focus in November.

I certainly will remember - for the rest of my life. At least Bill Wallace can take some solace in the now-fact of his ouster that I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT ANOTHER CHRYSLER EVER AGAIN! He needs to be look at FORD or other less-unionized or government-owned manufactured automobile dealerships.

Not one blip of this by the MSM.
Seems like I read one story on foxnews, but that was all.

The White House ordered dealerships closed for being on Republican donor lists? That’s insane!

Socialism, communism, liberalism, fascism, is based on stealing things from their proper owners. They rely on envy and the willingness to threaten or do harm to take from people.

Those systems are evil. The government needs to be shrunk. The sooner the better. Find people who will actively shrink government, not try to make it “more efficient” or try to reach a compromise. No quarter! Shrink government.

Yes, YOU might have to examine YOUR believes and see if they are based on or in socialism as well.

James Anderer has been on Fox Business several times about
his lawsuit and the closing of his Chrysler dealership. It is in the appeal process at this time. It has been discussed at length here on FR. Also read Diana Cotter’s articles at the Examiner.com concerning the case. Anderer’s suit involves
60-70 other dealers in the same situation.

Why so surprised? We do have a Marxist in the White House.

I wonder how many of the people “experiencing” Toyota defects are RATs?
