Ok, normally I don't believe anything I read in chain emails, but I got this is a copy of one that my dad got. We both looked into it a bit and it seems like it could actually be legit, as I couldn't find any evidence to refute any of the claims. Hopefully somebody a little more politically saavy can shed some light on this and tell me its all untrue!! It couldn't be true!!..........could it?


BEGIN EMAIL:

This could be a scandal of epic proportions and one that makes Nixon's
Watergate or Clinton's Monica Lewinsky affair pale by comparison. Why
was there no clear reason as to which dealerships of the
Chrysler Corporation were to be closed? Roll the clock back to the weeks
just before Chrysler declared bankruptcy. Chrysler, like GM, was in dire
financial straights and federal government graciously offered to "buy
the company" and keep them out of bankruptcy and "save jobs." Chrysler
was, in the words of Obama and his administration, "Too big to fail,"
same story with GM.

The feds organized their "Automotive Task Force" to fix Chrysler and GM.
Obama, in an act that is 100% unconstitutional, appointed a guy named
Steve Rattner to be the White House's official Car Czar- literally,
that's what his title is. Rattner is the liaison between Obama,
Chrysler, and GM.

Initially, the national media reported that Chrysler had made this list
of dealerships. That is not true. The Washington Examiner, Newsmax, Fox
News and a host of other news agencies discovered that the list of
dealerships was put together by the "Automotive Task Force" headed by no
one other then Mr. Steve Rattner. Now the plot thickens. Remember
earlier we said that there was no clear reason as to why
certain dealerships were closed? Actually there's a very interesting
pattern as to who was closed down. Again, on May 27, 2009, The
Washington Examiner and Newsmax exposed the connection.
Of the 789 dealerships closed by the federal government, 788 had donated
money, exclusively, to Republican political causes, while contributing
nothing to Democratic political causes. The only "Democratic" dealership
on the list was found to have donated $7,700 to Hillary's campaign, and
a bit over $2,000 to John Edwards. This same dealership, reportedly,
also gave $200 to Obama's campaign.


Steve Rattner, the guy who put the list together, well he happens to be
married to a babe named Maureen White. Maureen happens to be the former national finance chairman of the Democratic National Committee. As such, she would have access to campaign donation records from everyone in the nation, Republican or Democrat. On that list of dealerships
being closed down, a weird thing happened in Arkansas, North Louisiana,
and Southern Missouri. It seems that Bill Clinton's former White House
Chief of Staff, Mack McClarty, owns a chain of dealership in that
region, partnered with a fellow by the name of Robert Johnson. Johnson
happens to be founder of Black Entertainment Television and was a huge
Obama supporter and financier. These guys own a half dozen Chrysler
stores under the company title of RLJ-McClarty-Landers. Interestingly,
none of their dealerships were ordered closed - not one- while all of
their competing Chrysler/Dodge and Jeep dealership were! Eight
dealerships located near the dealerships owned by McClarty and Johnson
were ordered shut down. Thus, these two major Obama
supporters now have a virtual monopoly on Chrysler sales in their region.
Go look in The Washington Examiner, the story is
there, and it's in a dozen or so other web-based news organizations.


Now if you thought Chrysler was owned by Fiat, you are truly mistaken.
Under the federal court ruling, 65% of Chrysler is now owned by the
federal government and the United Auto Worker's. Fiat owns 20%.
The other 15% is still privately owned and presumably will be traded on
the stock market. Obama smiles and says he doesn't want to run the auto
industry.

As horrifying as this is to comprehend, it would appear that the president has the power to destroy private businesses and eliminate upwards of 100,000 jobs, just because they don't agree with his political agenda. This is
Nazi Germany stuff, and it's happening right here, right now, in your
back yard. There are voices in Washington demanding an explanation, but
the "Automotive Task Force" has released no information to the public or
any of the senators demanding answers for what has been done. Keep your
ear to the ground for more on this story. If you've ever wanted to make
a difference about anything in your life, get on the phone to your
national senator or representative in the House and demand an
investigation on this.

Benjamin Franklin had it right when he said, "All that's necessary for
evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."
