I’m sure if they stood up today and said, okay we’ll have all our workers become UAW members, all this hassle from the zer0 administration would fade away.

Obama moving to destroy Toyota for political gain.

Yep, it's becoming obvious

Tom Clancy created a scenario quite similar to this in one of his techno thrillers (can't recall the name) A Japanese car with a defect similar to Toyota's crashes and kills a family. Protectionist American congressmaen pass laws forcing individual safety inspections for all cars entering US from Japan. This creates a staggering backlog costing Japan INC billions. Right wingers in Japanese govt, working with India launch a limited war against US. Geographic goal is the Mariana Islands. Knowing the US is streched by committments in Middle east and that we'd never use nukes on Japan the Japanese are confident. They also launch a cyber attack on Wall Street. Of course Jack Ryan saves all.

Interesting scenario, and would it surprise anyone if Obama slapped similar one by one inspections of autos and/or parts before allowing them in country?
