He didn’t say “The franchise I’ve spent 35 years building was destroyed”, he said it was taken away and given to another dealer.

I understad wha the said, but I would be shocked if the letter/notice said what he said is says. That is his emotional interpretation.

I'm also willing to bet that when Chrysler decided to close this particular franchise, the decision was made purely for economic reasons including sales volume, service volume, customer satisfaction, and credit history.

But, but, his letter says his dealership is profitable and that’s all we need to know...
Stop making sense.
Don’t you know that you are playing kill joy on an opportunity to blame everything on Obama?
You didn’t know the he personally went through the entire dealers directory at Chrysler and GM and started x-ing out white faces, and then he intentionally targeted the most successful dealers to get them out of the way.

We used to make fun of the left when they found a way to blame everything on Bush - Bush’s Fault became something of a running joke here on FR. It seems that many of us are falling into the same trap - objectivity in lost in our disgust. There is plenty to blame Obama for, daily in fact, but had someone like ME been in charge, things for the Chrysler dealers would likely have been a lot worse before they even thought about getting better. Chrysler would have been shuttered until the UAW, the Dealers, the wholesale parts suppliers, the truck drivers, and the floor sweepers were ready to make cars instead of careers.

One more time in case anyone missed it:
I do not support this President.
I do not support the auto bail out.
However, an objective look at the restructuring needed at Chrysler will show that fewer dealerships is a good thing for the business in the long run.

What would cause you to believe the powers that be at Chrysler would suddenly show the ability to make good, sound financial decisions? His Chrysler dealership is profitable; Chrysler is not.
