Interesting. Of course, I would expect more Republicans to own businesses anyway over Dems.

Thanks for posting...my intuitions were correct. This is “stalin-USA” BS happening. At some point the people have got to make a stand before it’s too late...

This is CRIMINAL. Talk about “follow the money”, how about “stop the money”, as in drying up a source of campaign contributions to political opponents, while “augment the money”, as in beefing up campaign contributions to political allies. And we are talking about OUR money here, as you buy [Chrysler] cars in the future, the dealership profits being apportioned to campaign contributions.

Looks like special Dems had their competitors closed.

Big Dem Donor Group allowed to keep all 6 Chrysler dealerships open.... Local competitors eliminated by Obama’s task force!!

Earlier it was reported that the Obama Administration may have targeted GOP donors in deciding which Chrysler dealerships would have to close their doors.

Now there’s this...

RLJ-McLarty-Landers is owned by three men.

One was the former Chief of Staff for President Clinton.

One is the founder of Black Entertainment Television and a huge Obama supporter.

All 6 of their Chrysler dealerships will remain open.

GM & Chrysler have become the bottomless abyss whereby RATS will pluck their campaign donations from courtesy of the American taxpayers.

Here they are folks. From the article:

[The company is called RLJ-McLarty-Landers, and it operates six Chrysler dealerships throughout the South. All six dealerships are safe from closing. The dealer locations are:

Bentonville, AR (northwest Arkansas)
Lee’s Summit, MO (south of Kansas City, MO)
Branson, MO
Olathe, KS (near Kansas City)
Bossier City, LA (near Shreveport)
Huntsville, AL

The interesting part is who the three main owners of the company are. The owners are Steve Landers (long-time car dealer, 4th-generation dealer), Thomas “Mack” McLarty (former Chief of Staff for President Clinton), and Robert Johnson (founder of Black Entertainment Television and co-owner of the NBA’s Charlotte Bobcats). Landers has given money to Republicans in the past, but McLarty campaigned for Obama in 2008, and Johnson has given countless amounts of money to Democrats over the years.]

They are under enormous pressure from the President's automotive task force."

The auto industry was nationalized with the socialist bailout plans and auto manufacturers being run by BO and his henchman is a surprise?

African style socialism in action. Crony socialism. If you are a FOB (friend of ‘Boma) you are in. It’s like being a member of the commie party in Russia in the old days

Sorry, but the statistical evidence needs to be refined. If they show that more, better performing “Republican” dealerships were closed, compared to “Democrat” dealerships that were allowed to remain open, you have case.
Otherwise not.

Personally, I’m not sure that cutting the sales force is the way to fight your way out of bankruptcy. Better cars and MORE sales are the way out...

Thanks for posting!

I thought I saw where a dealer near Houston was joining a couple of other dealers shut down in taking this to court. TAKING their inventory for which they PAID and still have outstanding debt and GIVING it to another dealer is flat out wrong. I know a lawsuit could take quite some time to make it to the Supreme Court.

It never made sense why there was a need to close successful dealerships. If they were not successful they would close their doors on their own.

Is it possible that the Administration is this stupid or are they that arrogant and/or criminal?

I wonder why the lawyer didn't flat out ask Chrysler in the deposition the question - who decided which dealerships are to be closed!

Why just let it be left to the attorney's “impression”?

I would think of nothing less from this group of Chicago thugs. Pray for our country.
