When we last left the negotiations between Chrysler’s senior bondholders and Barack Obama’s auto task force, Thomas Lauria and his clients alleged that the government used intimidation tactics and threatened to sic the White House press corps on individuals if they didn’t give up their rights to allow the unions to win in the bankruptcy. Congress took an interest in this”madman” theory of the Presidency and got access to some e-mails floating between the task force and an analyst. Rep, Steven LaTourette (R-OH) reads from the e-mails, in which the auto task force calls Lauria — their attorney — a “terrorist” and refuses to negotiate after a Chrylser expert consulted him:
Ms Underestimated writes: The important part comes at the end: an email exchange between Matthew Feldman, attorney on the President’s Auto Task Force, and Robert Manzo, Chrysler restructuring expert. Manzo is basically pleading to further negotiate to prevent bankruptcy, but Feldman is having none of it. Here is the exchange: Robert Manzo, Chrysler restructuring expert: “I hope you think it’s worth giving this one more shot.” Matthew Feldman, attorney on the President’s Auto Task Force: “I’m now not talking to you. You went where you shouldn’t.” Manzo: “Sorry. I didnt’ mean to say the wrong thing and I obviously did. I was trying oto make sure that if we had to contribute to the solution you knew we had some room. Sorry I did not realize the mistake!!” Feldman: “It’s over. The President doesn’t negotiate second rounds. We’ve given and lent billions of dollars so your team could manage this properly….And now you’re telling me to bend over to a terrorist like Lauria? That’s B.S.”

God Damnnit.
I’ve had enough. Find me a place to move. I can’t take much more.
Owellian - real terrorists are friends. Citizens are terrorists. War is peace. Love is hate. It’s 1984.
Shouldn’t that have been “man-caused disaster” since they did away with the word terrorist?
Don't move. Channel your anger and tell everyone you know what bothers you and get them to do the same. Remember that Sarah said "rise up."
This is war.
Obama and his admin are just a pure, unadulterated thugs.
No, don’t move, then they win. We need change, change you can believe in.
Of course it can be used when referring to people who are trying to take money from the democrat unions.
If ex-Bush lawyers can be sued for opinions, why can’t Obama lawyers be sued for opinions?
There is no place to move. This is the last place. We must take a stand; fight or surrender.
Terrorist? Tell that to the 9/11 victims, families, friends and survivors...out of line..but typical.
And what the h*ll is this?
“...threatened to sic the White House press corps on individuals if they didn’t give up their rights ...”
We don’t need to ‘move’. We need to stand up and fight like we never have before and throw the thugs out of office!!
Chicago thuggery politics...
Change we can believe in
“This is war.”
I’ve been saying it’s war for years. Glad to see others are finally recognizing that we are at war. It’s not just the WOT (that Obama is trying to disclaim), but it’s the much older war with the Left, the psycho-war in which our freedoms survival, and sanity are at stake.
We must rise up and put down everything that is the Left.

Has anyone heard from the White House "press corps" on this?
His fundamental change is to bring down the free market and traditional America and he is busily going about it before our very eyes.
We are at a pivotal crossroads in our nation's history. A very steep, very hard and dangerous roads leads one way...an abject fatal precipice leads the other.
FREEPER NOUMENON'S ASSESSMENT OF THIS POINT IN HISTORY - POST 15
The biggest problem this particular regime has is its inability to find and hire quality personnel. These dregs and charletons are going to be the ruination of everything and everyone they touch.
You are right and have been for awhile.
Timing is everything. Letterman has drawn the first blood at a time when regular folks are fed up with him, 0bama, the whole liberal thing.
Remember that Sarah said "rise up." This is war. The double-standard must die.
