What’s also disconcerting is that <strong>these back room deals took place five days before the GM/Chrysler deadlines to submit their restructuring plans</strong>. Sight unseen for their proposals, Obama and his auto czars made an executive decision to restaff GM according to their whims, and quietly set about dictating a production model agenda. And I repeat… without nary a whisper to Congress, or even Michigan’s senior Senator. Audacity, indeed.</blockquote> Also, his auto czar's former company is on the hook for millions to none other than Chrysler's owner. Conflict of interest?

Workers say Obama treated Autos worse than Wall Street.
“It’s the age-old Wall Street vs. Main Street smackdown again,” said Brian Fredline, president of UAW Local 602 at a plant near Lansing. “You have all kinds of funding available to banks that are apparently too big to fail, but they’re also too big to be responsible.”

“But when it comes to auto manufacturing and middle-class jobs and people that don’t matter on Wall Street, there are certainly different standards that we have to meet — higher standards — than the financials. That is a double standard that exists and it’s unfair,” Fredline said.

Many workers — not generally known for their affection toward executives — even sympathized with Rick Wagoner, who was forced to step down as chief executive of General Motors Corp. He was by turns called a “sacrificial lamb,” “scapegoat” and “fall guy.”

Our list is getting longer and our collective voices stronger! Keep it up, we are being heard. What is right for the auto industry is right for the banking industry, why is Obama protecting the banks who can also file bankruptcy, that would have saved the American people trillions of dollars? Obama is out to destroy our country, he is not an American and certainly is not patriotic! I wish him ill will, I wish him nothing but bad for all the hate, racism, sexism, misogyny, fraud, intimidation tactics, cheating, lying scum that he is. I wish he were never born, but if he had to be I am glad it was in Kenya. He will never be my president, and when the shit finally hits the fan, he wont be any one's president. His name will be forever deleted from memory.</strong> Yet another brave soul sticking up for the American people!!!!! Our list is getting longer and our collective voices stronger!

He is forceful, articulate, coherent and clearly has passion. I think the Republicans should really look at this guy and consider prepping him for a 2012 run. There is nothing and nobody else in their quiver that looks like someone who can appeal to main street voters. I am not in love with the automakers but I absolutely resonate with the idea that they are a better bet for helping our future than the financial deadbeat criminals from AIG and the other trash in the crevices of Wall St. I really like this guy.

We need more like him, Republican and Democratic men and women alike, to stand up like this, to stand up not for their party or their own self-interest but for the American public. And if not? They need to step down. Now! Bravo, Representative McCotter! We need more like him, Republican and Democratic men and women alike, to stand up like this, to stand up not for their party or their own self-interest but for the American public.

And if not? They need to step down. Now!

Maybe he should consider running for POTUS in 2012! Of course I really want Hillary, but I doubt she'll ever be allowed. I'll be voting for whoever steps up to actually lead so all politicians, take note. I will only hire leaders for my top job. There isn't a lot of competition these days in that regard. I certainly hope he continues to speak out about this Usurper in Office and others join him. There is safety in numbers!!! A brave man indeed. Maybe he should consider running for POTUS in 2012!
