Odd, who the Obama administration considers terrorists. In this case, it was Thomas Lauria, who represents Chrysler shareholders. Who knew that a lawyer looking out for the legal interests of his clients was an act of terrorism.
The beginning of the video is fairly dull, but I implore you to stick with it. LaTourette outlines what happened and how Chrysler was intimidated, as reported previously by Ed Morrissey at Hot Air. The important part comes at the end: an email exchange between Matthew Feldman, attorney on the President’s Auto Task Force, and Robert Manzo, Chrysler restructuring expert. Manzo is basically pleading to further negotiate to prevent bankruptcy, but Feldman is having none of it. Here is the exchange:
Robert Manzo, Chrysler restructuring expert: “I hope you think it’s worth giving this one more shot.”
Matthew Feldman, attorney on the President’s Auto Task Force: “I’m now not talking to you. You went where you shouldn’t.”
Manzo: “Sorry. I didnt’ mean to say the wrong thing and I obviously did. I was trying oto make sure that if we had to contribute to the solution you knew we had some room. Sorry I did not realize the mistake!!”
Feldman: “It’s over. The President doesn’t negotiate second rounds. We’ve given and lent billions of dollars so your team could manage this properly….And now you’re telling me to bend over to a terrorist like Lauria? That’s B.S.”
I guess Team Obama only likes bending over for foreign terrorists.
