Video: Obama auto team called shareholder lawyer a “terrorist”
HotAir.com ^ | 6/13/2009 | Ed Morrisey

Posted on 06/13/2009 7:25:33 AM PDT by JRochelle

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.”

The word “terrorist” is now reserved for those who would dare to disagree with Obama.

“Do you really think people are going to “rise up” now, after everything that has happened?”

Not my point. I wasn’t discussing whether people are going to rise up now, I stated “MUST RISE UP”.

The negativism in your post reminds me of the Liberal in the sitcom throwing her arms into the air and screaming “I give up” when confronted by total insanity.

There are options such as not giving up. That is the option I will persue.

I’d like to think that we still have a chance to undo the damage that’s been done, but unfortunately, it’s still being done and I believe it will be in the category of devastating to our country. It’s true that revolution comes from the minority. But what point of devastatuib abd destruction does it have to get to for this revolution to finally begin? There IS such a thing as waiting till it’s too late...and since timing is everything, I’m sticking to my doom & gloom stance. I think the time to fight has come and gone. I think the country will just continue to sit by while we are destroyed from the KNOWN enemies within.

We have no real leadership, other than Sarah Palin. If that’s not a sad and pathetic indication of how far we’ve fallen, I don’t know what is. One woman, one conservative in the whole damned country that shows guts, balls and honesty. I’m feeling pretty sick these days.

Pardon my rant.

Show me a leader that will lead us towards fighting this heinous Marxist takeover and I will follow. I never give up, but since there IS no such leader, my observation stands. How long do we sit around and wait while the country is taken over and destroyed from within? Until several cities are nuked? Until radical Islam launches an all-out assault against us, enabled by their new Muslim President of the USA? What the hell are we waiting for, if not that?

Hell no I’m not giving up. I’m just damned mad and frustrated that we’re just letting it all happen while we pontificate daily about what’s happening and do NOTHING ELSE.

"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.”

Sounds to me like we have TERRORISTS and BULLYS and ABUSE OF OFFICE all over uhbama's White House auto task force.

WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING ON?

This email demonstrates that we NO LONGER HAVE AN OPERATING WHITE HOUSE THAT FOLLOWS RULES OF DECENCY AND DEMOCRACY.

What is that SHIT about " uhbama doesn't do 'second rounds'???????? What IS that crap?

And this PIG of a lawyer from uhbama's inner sanctum of 'take control of Chrysler' has the NERVE to call Chrysler's negotiator a TERRORIST??????????????????????????????

It makes me sick to read the email above with the groveling going on....I wish that Attn Manzo, the restructing attorney had told that PIG with his snout in the government trough to go take a flying leap and stuff the 'No second negotiation' crap up his great big you know what, and then to do the same for his blue lipped boss.

That’s one scary map isn’t it. I checked the stats for 2 yrs, and then the latest...which was march of ‘08. To see it in county by county form gives us a better perspective. Thank you for posting that link. So are you thinking that when the benefits run out...the crime in the red areas will increase 10-fold?

Yes, and more.

Obozo will try to tax the survivors to support the sinking Titanic.

This will be his undoing, but the left will not go down peacefully.

This will not be pretty.

There will be no economic recovery until Obozo is out of office.

Please go to the thread entitled "The Broad Perspective on the Growing Outrage in America" posted by Freeper Welshman007 on June 11.

Y ou and ALL who are reading this should take a deep and total gander at post #15 by Freeper Nouumenon.

Once you begin to read it, you will understand EXACTLY why it should be required reading for EVERY conservative in America. But especially for all of us here, because we DO need a backup network for communicating if the grid is pulled or FR is pulled someday...we do. We really do.

Can you get your graphic out to Hannity or Rush...I think they would enjoy it and perhaps spread it around.

I agree with you 100%. The problem is however, that all the old ways of resolving problems don’t exist anymore. Everyone is assuming that we will go to the polls in 2010 and vote these b*****ds out. That won’t happen. Under the present regime, our votes won’t count. So I ask you, what do you suggest we do?

Please. Rant away. I understand. But, I also believe that turn around is fair play. Now that the Constitution is meaningless and the law doesn't apply like it used to, we get to fight back under the same thug rules.

The school yard bully is only a bully until the victim decided to knock his teeth out. We are getting close. If they want Chicago rules, there are many of us who know how to play by Chicago rules. Keep the faith and be prepared. Gather names and addresses of Obama supporters so you know who they are when the manure hits the fan. Half of eastern Canada is populated by folks who didn't quite get it the last time...
