Money quote:
I can tell you for sure that I represent one less investor today than I represented yesterday. One of my clients was directly threatened by the White House, and in essence compelled to withdraw its opposition to the deal under threat that the full force of the White House press corps would destroy its reputation if it continued to fight. That's how hard it is to stand on this side of the fence.
Beckmann: Was that Perella Weinberg?
Lauria: That was Perella Weinberg.
BTTT!!!!!
Well...I guess that confirms what we all know....the "independent" White House Press Corp is NOT
One day Obama says Chrysler is going bankrupt, will reorganize and come back stronger than ever, and calls on everyone to “Buy America” so that our automakers can be saved. The next day Chrysler files for bankruptcy, and announces that it is going to sell most of its assets to Fiat, an Italian car maker. How is purchasing an Italian car “buying America”?
bio....Perella Weinberg Partners, the investment bank founded by Joseph R. Perella, the former vice chairman of Morgan Stanley, has been hired by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to advise it on strategies and transactions to stabilize the banking system. (from scroogle.org search)
My, my, what an interesting web we weave....
If the executive branch of the government can nullify contracts through force and threat, then my social contract with this government is null and void.
Their UAW workers will be paid to loaf, but take a guess what is happening to the supply base and dealers. I heard we are putting another 85 people at my plant out for the duration, on top of hundreds already gone. That's going to be multiplied across the industry. Those monthly unemployment figures are going to be spiking up from this event alone...
I must have missed something.
What was Weinberg’s role in the Chrysler situation?
Top-down Marxist revolution?
Ruling Party, MSM Dogs Loosed On Enemies of Economic Justice
"Rightist running dogs of the bourgeoisie will be purged."
That's my "money quote" - because the larger lesson here is there is in fact nothing that this president will not attack. Heck, I am still not 100% sure he should be president - where's the birth certificate obama? He and his administration have shown a callous disregard for the Constitution more than once. Actually, that's an interesting idea. His recklessness and haste...fueled by the fear that his illegal presidency will come crashing down sooner rather than later???
He promised change in the campaign, and by-God, we're going to get change. That is perhaps the only campaign promise the little socialist has kept to date. I'm fairly certain this isn't the change the slim majority that swallowed his line was looking for though.
I “think” they must have been financially partnered somehow with Chrysler....and when they tried to get out of it....they got bullied....Is that a possible read? Anyone else????
That would be accurate if he had something to do with the bond holders, who got royally screwed on this deal.
Anybody still think this country isn’t being run by a Marxist dictator? Hugo Chavez ain’t got nothin’ on Obama.
Well...they are “investment bankers”.....
Ping worthy?
The Federal thugs and their mouth piece can only do it if people cower in fear or if the thugs by off the executives who then screw the investors in a “settlement.”
Either Americans stand up for the rule of law or they cower in the face of Leftist thugs. The same with all the constitution and all the elite’s attacks on it.
well said!
Until outrage appears nationwide in the newspapers - forget it!
This tactic of the Obama Thugarchy is exactly what he showed to the nation with Joe the Plumber. That action against Joe the plumber was not politics as usual. It was not attacking another “public figure” or candidate, it was a bold and shameful klege-march over the line innto attacking a citizen of the US DURING A CAMPAIGN.
The media covered it, obfuscated, created a focus on silly flyover-country Joe and his rediculous “dreams”. The media sang bed-time stories to the faithful that Obama doesn’t really mean “redistribution”...Yet in the same week where an incredibly bizarre and frightening scenario takes place with one of the two Presidential 747s, the “journalists” sit timid and affraid.
Obama feels he has free reign to threaten the wealthy and the middleclass and continue to sow a field of lies to the underclass and “uncurious true believers”. as and ELECTED president.
Why not questions, why no resistence? Why is it that workers, plumbers and ship captains are the only ones willing to stop these bloated polticians in mid sentence and demand,”Your facts don’t make sense- what are you saying?!”
Now...
Obama, his media and entertainment network work fast and furious to be our country’s Iago. (Are there ironies in THAT statement?) Continuing to wax Shakespearian, it is time to end this Hamletesque disbelief, shock and hesitation; waiting for politicians, courts and media to resolve what the Constitution guaranteed it’s citizens the right, the responsibility to resolve. And parodying Hamlet, “The Tea Parties are the things wherein we’ll catch the conscience of the self perceived king “
Prophetically, Obama in a quote regarding Alito’s USSC nomination expressed the very failure that allowed him to be “placed “ in office,
“.... its duty not just to the Senate but to the American people to make sure we can thoroughly and adequately evaluate the record of every single nominee who comes before us.”
This cannot be allowed to continue unopposed. As the three branches of our government collapse into one single colluding deceitful body rushing to dress in the mantle of European socialist elite, the citizens must once again shoulder the responsibilities, concepts and confidence found in our Constitution and show the career politician an accurate translation of “reset” .
See you at the Tea Parties.
Yes, vitally yes. Well put!
