Obama Democrats Pull Out All Stops To Bail Out Auto Industry Carcass For Union Leaches
American Sentinel ^ | November 11, 2008 | Michael Eden

You remember Bill Clinton's view of Obama, that he has the "political instincts of a Chicago thug"? Well, we got another chance to see why that's so today.

President Bush attempted to be the gracious host at the White House, and got a fork thrust in his eye for his trouble. Barack Obama - with a lot of media assistance that crossed the line into blatant propaganda (for one relevant example, Chicago Tribune writer John Kass described the media's utter refusal to examine Obama's Chicago political connections) - portrayed himself as floating above one of the most corrupt political environments in American history in some kind of butterfly-like manner. But you just don't play in a filthy playground without getting dirty.

So President Bush meets with Barack Obama in a private meeting between just the two of them - and next thing you know details are emerging that President Bush is quid pro quo demanding "I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine" in exchange for his support for any bailout of the automakers. We saw the use of the most potent political weapon in any American politician's arsenal: the anonymous "leak." And so, "Asked if the leak affected what appears to be a very smooth transition so far, the senior Bush aide said, 'It won't affect what we have to do ... but it was disappointing. I think the Obama folks will be backing off this pretty soon.'" And "Podesta did just that later in the day."

Obama claims that he didn't have anything to do with the leak intended to paint Bush into a corner on the auto bailout. But someone on his staff sure did. And let us not forget that Obama is pushing for that bailout that his little "leak" puts pressure on Bush to grant. Automakers already received $25 billion in federal loans, and now they want another $25 billion. And Obama wants to give them your great great great great grandkids' money as a payoff to the union leaches who need the rotting carcass of the automakers to feed off of.

Democrats have spent most of the last two years demonizing corporations in order to portray themselves as caring about the little guy as opposed to Republican meanies who cared only about big corporations. It played very well into their overall "class warfare" strategy.

They've gone after whole industries, and they've singled out major American corporations to such abuse and demagoguery that they pulled out of the United States altogether. As a Human Events article described one such event:

How would you feel if as an owner of a business you were hauled into Congress so the world could see you portrayed as a villain? How would you feel if you were grilled on national television by Sen. Carl Levin (D.-Mich.) and Rep. Henry Waxman (D.-Calif.) waving subpoenas to the cameras? Wouldn’t your stomach churn hearing advocates of terrorists’ rights such as Democrat Senators Ted Kennedy (Mass.) and Pat Leahy (Vt.) accuse you, an American family man with a business, of high crimes against America? Perhaps that is how many American CEOs are beginning to feel.

What if your company’s name had, through liberal demonization, become synonymous with evil? The phrase “Halliburton” has been morphed here into a pejorative by liberals and the media. Certainly, that must be one of the reasons Halliburton has packed its bags, decided to relocate outside America and declare “I’m out of here.”

And Halliburton won't be the only corporation who decides to head for greener pastures that actually want their jobs and their tax contributions.

Democrats have done a pretty good job demonizing the US car industry, as well. Their constant ravings about forcing American automakers to make even more concessions to unions, about hitting their bottom line more and more with demands for health care and compensation packages that cost them more than $1300 per car over their Japanese rivals, about forcing them to develop more fuel efficient cars and smaller, "greener" cars when the aforementioned inequalities make it impossible for such cars to be profitable for US automakers, has led to the desperate state that they are in now. When you are saddled with massive structural labor costs, it is incredibly difficult to make a profit with smaller, less expensive cars.

The American auto industry quit being car makers a long time ago. What they have long-since become are socialized pension providers for unions who managed to build a few cars on the side.

And now Democrats are about to impose "Card Check" to take secret ballots away from workers in an attempt to force even more unionization on corporate America. It's a terrible idea for business that is almost certain to become law given total Democratic control of the government. You show me a unionized industry, and I will show you an industry in crisis.

Why do Democrats want to bail out the automakers? Because they want to bail out the unions that overwhelmingly support them. If the automakers go the way of the dodo bird, the unions will be going right along with them.

Democrats have loudly decried "corporate welfare" by even reducing their income tax burden; so let us now demand that they hang on their own petard when it comes to giving a TAXPAYER HANDOUT to the tune of billions of dollars to a union shop. Let the automakers fail; everyone who supports Democrats knows that economies are built from the bottom-up anyway, right? Let's put the theory to the test and let the big boys go under and see if the "bottom" can still move "up" without the people who create jobs for them.

What about the uzi and the AK-47 --- ever popular with street criminals.
Gone.
Wake Up.



Jefferson was referring to muzzleloaders, not 11-87's.

Ok, let me get this straight. So you're ok with the elimination of ALL semi-automatic weapons, as long as the uzi and AK-47 are off the streets? And you can't see that the propaganda is to say they are getting those weapons out of the market, while they push their agenda of eliminating the 2nd amendment by including provisions into those laws that encompass so much more than what they are saying to the media? That is where you people need to wake up. I can't wait to see those gang members lining up to turn their weapons in.

Who was that leader around 70 years ago who trumpeted gun control as the way to create a civilized society? I believe it was the same guy that wanted - and got - a national civilian force.

As I said earlier Individual gun ownership and posession and private property are needed to protect the rest of the constitution. BHO takes those two rights away and democracy goes with it.

[froggyfan]

Don't forget about Kuwait (Desert Storm). Iraq was able to walk in and take over their country because the Kuwaiti people were not allowed to own guns. We must all be careful to protect our right to bear arms. Believe me, there are some bad actors out there who would take swift advantage of us, otherwise.

Ya know what really has been cracking me up the last week? two things

1. How all the sudden the MSM is all gushy over Bush. Calling him a statesman, "magnanmious leader" the AP stated today
Unbelievable? What's worse Bush is all gushy back!

2. The MSM admitting that the election coverage WAS biased against McCain and Pro Obama! Wow what a shocker. Even worse is that they promised to do better next time? Unbelievable!

[southpaw]

I for one won't ever forgive or forget the MSM coverage of this election. They got what they wanted. Heck even RR couldn't have or wouldn't have beaten BHO.

I for one am no longer viewing any big three programming except the NFL and the local news and never will again. Also the OPM channels of CNN, and the NBC knock offs won't get any time wasted on them. I'm in a running battle with Direct TV to get those channels off my dish and to discount my bill. BET is the next channel I'll be hammering on them to get off my dish. Why should I have to pay for the OPM?

bball,
Real life is not found in your video game. Street criminals very rarely would have an assault weapon. Depending on your definition of assault weapon, they only account for 1-7% of gun crimes. This law is more about appearances and the first step toward further regulation than it is about community safety. There are many other things in our lives that are more dangerous.
You need to give the Founding Fathers a little more credit. They knew citizens would need a way to protect themselves and their property from others who would do them harm, including the government.

Good luck with that, southpaw. Go shoot your machine gun. What could you possibly need a machine gun for? The sad part is that you had the ability to get a machine gun.

[Bball]

Not sure why you throw video games out,,, personally don't own one.
just giving an opinion, but obviously I was wrong, since you say so.
