I think your right. A president’s main goal is to preserve the well being of his people. Even those that didn’t vote for, and don’t support Mr. Obama, I hope, feel that he has our best interest in mind — and this would certainly not be the way to do that.

“…before i believe such thing i want hard facts.” — I think that’s the best way to approach these claims.

Thanks for commenting, it’s good to hear from some new voices.

I’m just speaking from what I’ve read and heard, and I haven’t seen that Fox News story yet, but there seemed to be a formula Chrysler and GM followed for selecting these dealers. The companies did say dealers had the opportunity to appeal their closings, and for this dealer’s sake, I hope his numbers prove the company wrong — it sounds like this dealer has a viable business.

In terms of job loss, the stale argument is that there would have been far more unemployed Americans if the companies were allowed to fail. That’s still a hollow assurance to the man or woman who just received a closure letter.

Hope to hear from you again,
Tim

Your right, Chrysler dealerships aren’t alone — GM is close behind. Luckily for GM dealership owners, they have a little while longer to prepare. I have no doubts that the sheer size of the state has a lot to do with Texas experiencing the most closings.

Do you have an opinion on whether or not the Obama administration directly influenced each closing by who donated politically?

Great hearing from, thanks for your comment,
Tim

I don’t know how to find political donation records to crossmatch, but Texas’ activity needs to be researched by someone who does.

EXCERPTS:

May 14, 2009

Chrysler is planning to shut down more dealerships in Texas than in any other state – 50 of the 789 dealerships targeted for closure are in Texas.

• El Dorado Chrysler-Jeep in McKinney
• Frank Kent Dodge in Fort Worth
• Grubbs Chrysler-Jeep in Bedford
• Huffines Chrysler-Jeep in Denton
• McNatt Dodge in Denton
• Manuel Dodge in Richardson
• Tommy Manuel Chrysler-Jeep in Arlington
• Preston Chrysler-Jeep in Dallas

Chrysler dealerships aren’t the only ones scheduled to get bad news this week. General Motors Corp. says it is notifying 1,100 dealers that it will not renew their franchise agreements when they expire at the end of September of 2010.

So you believe Obama had a direct say in who stayed and who went in terms of the Chrysler dealerships? If these reports are true it would be political suicide for the administration, I hope they’re not that dumb. Don’t forget Chrysler is in bankruptcy, and downsizing was necessary. The company hasn’t had any business success in years.

I don’t think even these alleged claims of favoritism garner a comparison to Hitler, that’s insulting to a lot of people. We should save the torches and pitchforks until we find out the truth.

Thanks for you comment,
Tim

If that’s not stealing, I don’t know what is… it doesn’t matter how much you dislike hedge funds.

Now he’s destroying the evil capitalists that didn’t support his fraudulent, disingenuous campaign?

The White House says there’s “no evidence”- note that Hitler was careful to only give verbal orders, too… and Obama’s not new to this sort of thing.

Obama’s completely out-of-control. But what did anyone expect with a neutered press, compliant congress, and cabinet full of sycophants?
