Ah....are you flashing the Race Card, Whitehall?

Sure.

Liberals don't corner the market in pulling out the race card..

maybe not but they own the printer .

 

[NYcarbineer]

Another bigoted attack on conservative Black Americans?

Allen West thinks he's white, so that card doesn't play. lololol

If Allen West wants to complain about someone losing his job because of Obama,

he should be complaining about losing his own job,

in Congress.

I do recall an investigation into the dealerships that were forced to close when Obama took over the auto companies for a while. The claim was that the fact that most that were ordered closed happened to be owned by Republicans was sheer coincidence.

I think West is just pointing out that perhaps it was not a coincidence in light of this latest scandal.


When it came to closing the dealerships, profits weren't considered and it may have cost the companies more to close certain ones. Plus, they closed them so fast and eliminated 100,000 jobs when it wasn't necessary to do so.

The Obama administration's insistence on radical numbers of closures ended up shuttering dealerships in those rural areas disproportionately, while dealerships and jobs in metro areas -- Obama's geographical base -- were left open.

Additionally, it has been widely theorized that dealers targeted for closure as a result of Obama's interference were predominantly those who donated campaign contributions to Republicans. Although evidence to date is largely anecdotal, given what we've already reported about the Obama administration's handling of the auto bailout, such speculation does have considerable grounds for support. While that last point is leaves room for debate, the details contained in the Barofsky report are not. As Barofsky points out, the Obama administration was given an advance copy, and "Treasury [the Obama Treasury Department] might not agree with how the audit's conclusions portray the Auto Team's decision making or with the lessons that SIGTARP has drawn from those facts, but it should be made clear that Treasury has not challenged the essential underlying facts upon which those conclusions are based."

Included among those undisputed facts:

-"[D]ealerships were retained because they were ... minority- or woman-owned dealerships";
-Thousands of jobs were lost, unnecessarily, due specifically to Obama's "mandate for shared sacrifice";
-A disproportionate number of Obama-forced closings were of rural dealerships, in areas unfriendly to Obama, even though such closures could "jeopardize the return to profitability" for GM and Chrysler.[/QUOTE]

this is a big onion that gonna take a long time to peel !! the more we peel the more tears from the left !!

Many things had been dismissed by the media and I wonder if now they are a bit more willing to go back and take a closer look at some things.

It was established that dealerships owned by minorities were kept open. Most of those were in cities, where there were many dealerships competing with each other and some weren't doing so well. The rural ones had little or no competition and though they weren't as profitable as some larger ones, they weren't losing money. Yet, those were chosen for closure.

West was brave enough to share a keen observation. He pointed out another example of the government abusing it's power to punish the opposition and there is plenty of data supporting his statement. Of course, the left showed it's fangs. The truth could hurt if it comes out.

You are the only one on this board who has successfully brandished the "absolutely disabused from reality" card.

We see TK talking to himself in the mirror.

Now this is downright hilarious, but what else would you expect from this idiot. Allen West, recently during an interview pulled a Glenn Beck style move by turning from the IRS investigation into tea party non profits, to Obama forced the closing of GOP car dealerships 4 years ago.

You just can't make this shit up,..

^ 100% Genuine Racist

With the way you trash Obama, you must be a top commander of a nazi-neo group.

I'll remember that, and post it every single time from now on you trash the president.

You don't want to prove me right that you are a neo-nazi racist, right frankie?

Allen West has gone from serving our country to serving Glen Beck.

Do you measure that big a fall in feet, or miles?
