White House Threatened Investment Firm For Opposing Obama’s Policy

   This is what happens when you oppose this president and his plans. An attorney for Perella Weinberg Partners is claiming that the White House threatened them and warned them not to oppose the president’s reorganization plan for Chrysler. 

was directly threatened by the White House and in essence compelled to withdraw its opposition to the deal under the threat that the full force of the White House press corps would destroy its reputation if it continued to fight. That’s how hard it is to stand on this side of the fence

  The White House threatened to use the press corp to embarrass the firm if they continued to oppose the president’s plan. The White House is denying these charges and I wish that I could believe them. But I don’t.

   We are talking about the same administration that authorized the bonuses that the AIG executives were going to be paid before turning the tables on the AIG executives and manipulating a pliable portion of the people to believe that the administration knew nothing about the bonuses they authorized. The administration then embarrassed the AIG executives for taking the money that the government said belonged to them to the point where people were protesting the executives outside of their homes and threatening to kill them. At least one executive committed suicide because of the disgraceful actions of the government.

  There is no doubt in my mind that the administration purposely authorised the bonuses to be paid and then used the White House press corp to stoke the populist flames of outrage for political advantage.

  I find it perfectly plausible then that the administration would threaten to embarrass a firm for having the gall to oppose dear leader. We have seen it before from this administration. The arrogance from this administration is astounding. There is no room for opposing views of any kind with this administration.

  This president is looking to interfere in private industry in a manner in which has never been seen before. And if you oppose him at all he is more than willing to sick the lapdog media on you. There is room enough for only one opinion in this administration. We must all fall in line or face the consequences.

  This may be the kind of Chicago thug politics that the president is used to but this ain’t Chicago anymore.
