Another Hussein Obama/Democrat boost to the UAW and union thug leaders.

[US Navy Vet]

UHH Yes!

[combat_boots]

I don’t think ‘duh’ really captures the extent of this concept.

[Lazlo in PA]

If you have to ask, you are not paying attention.

[KosmicKitty]

Is the Pope catholic?

"non-unionized competitor to GM"

This is not just in the Auto industry; it's in EVERY industry and business that is non-Union. Thuggery now infests the White House, Congress, and the Judiciary (let alone the NEW NLRB)....

Look for the Union Label; then wipe your ass with it....and buy elsewhere.

Another of the many things we’ve tried to get across all along: this is the kind of stuff that invariably happens when the government has a stake in a company. It starts picking winners and losers. How this latest revelation can surprise anyone is beyond me.

[ColdOne]

Duh!

[RetiredTexasVet]

Did anyone really believe the government? It was an obvious ruse to reduce or eliminate Toyota sales during the GM and Chrysler bankruptcy. Note that by using NASA they could drag it out for almost a year. Also, note the high number of law suits in the mill because of this action causing millions more in unnecessary costs. Atlas Shrugged action?

[jazusamo]

This is not just in the Auto industry;

Absolutely right! Obama and thugs are going all out for payback to all unions.

[henkster]

Actually, GM/UAW didn’t have to lift a finger when their “parent corporation,” the Federal Government of the United States, was perfectly willing to do all the heavy lifting for them.

LOL! I don’t know what Ms. Toyota’s face looks like but the rest is Grade A stuff!

Was GM/UAW Behind Toyota Bashing?

I say no.
I say Obama and his ilk, and Obamamedia, was directly behind it. Just like he treated former President Bush, just like he treats Sarah Palin, just like he treats the Tea party.....

[Antoninus]

As soon as it became a major news issue, I figured it was government-generated propaganda.

Our major media really is state-run.

[Graybeard58]

I’ve done my part, I bought a 2011 Camry last Friday, the odometer just passed 100 miles today.

I had a thousand times that many miles on my ‘05 Corolla and not one single problem ever.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I’ve always believed this was true since day one of Toyota bashing. All part of Obamanism that was sweeping the country at the time.

[jazusamo]

Hah! Me too, bought a 2011 Camry 3 months ago, had a 99 before that. Good cars.

[jazusamo]

I believed it was bashing from day one. Have other family members that have and now own them and have had no problems.

[Uncle Miltie]

"congressional leaders decided to attack the automaker at a time when General Motors was struggling to regain sales after exiting its bankruptcy"

That's stock manipulation, a crime if I recall correctly, of which this writer is accusing Congresscritters.

[Gator113]

Yes... and at the behest of Obama and his thugs. AND, it was all done using our tax money.
