Fact Checker Obliterates Obama Bailout Claims: 'One of the Most Misleading Collections of Assertions We Have Seen ...'



The Fact Checker: President Obama's phony accounting on the auto industry bailout By Glenn Kessler, Washington Post

"Chrysler has repaid every dime and more of what it owes American taxpayers for their support during my presidency."

-- President Obama, June 4, 2011

With some of the economic indicators looking a bit dicey, President Obama traveled to Ohio last week to tout what the administration considers a good-news story: the rescue of the domestic automobile industry. In fact, he also made it the subject of his weekly radio address.

We take no view on whether the administration's efforts on behalf of the automobile industry were a good or bad thing; that's a matter for the editorial pages and eventually the historians. But we are interested in the facts the president cited to make his case.

What we found is one of the most misleading collections of assertions we have seen in a short presidential speech. Virtually every claim by the president regarding the auto industry needs an asterisk, just like the fine print in that too-good-to-be-true car loan.


Let's look at the claims in the order in which the president said them. READ MORE...

BUT HE'S SO SMART! Obama's GM Bailout Costs Taxpayers $14 Billion (Thanks Idiots)


'General' Motors Obama...

WASHINGTON – The Obama administration said Wednesday that the government will lose about $14 billion in taxpayer funds from the bailout of the U.S. auto industry.

In a report from the president's National Economic Council, officials said that figure is down from the 60 percent the Treasury Department originally estimated the government would lose following its $80 billion bailout of Chrysler and General Motors in 2009. READ MORE...

DNC Chief's Foreign-Owned Car Hypocrisy


Yuck! What is it with these hypocritical, hideous looking, phony feminist type democrat women with their hyphenated names and talking points? Creepy...

The chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) appears to drive a foreign car, despite criticizing Republican presidential candidates for supposedly favoring foreign auto manufacturers.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), the chairwoman of the DNC, ripped into Republican presidential contenders who opposed President Obama's 2009 bailouts for General Motors and Chrysler.

"If it were up to the candidates for president on the Republican side, we would be driving foreign cars; they would have let the auto industry in America go down the tubes," she said at a breakfast for reporters organized by The Christian Science Monitor.

But according to Florida motor vehicle records, the Wasserman Schultz household owns a 2010 Infiniti FX35, a Japanese car whose parent company is Nissan, another Japanese company. The car appears to be hers, since its license plate includes her initials. READ MORE...

GOVERNMENT AT WORK: Chrysler Suspends Workers Caught Boozing on Video


How did these people NOT get fired! This was a lunch break, NOT an after work happy hour! Unions, unions, government, government....when will we ever learn.

Chrysler says it has suspended some plant workers caught by a Detroit television station drinking alcohol and smoking what appeared to be marijuana during breaks.

Chrysler manufacturing chief Scott Garberding told WJBK-TV in a report that aired Wednesday night that the automaker has identified some of the workers.

WJBK said it received a tip from a worker at Chrysler’s Jefferson North plant and followed about a dozen men for 10 days during their lunch breaks. It filmed them going to a convenience store to buy alcohol and taking it to a nearby park to drink and smoke.

Garberding says the workers’ “behavior is totally unacceptable.” The United Auto Workers said it strongly opposes the use of alcohol or controlled substances on the job.

Great news: Record number of Americans on public dole. One in six and growing..


Oh, it's growing alright..

For some, this will just prove how prescient Congress has been to create a vast network of social programs that combat poverty. Others may wonder what the endgame looks like when one in six Americans now receive public subsidies through Medicaid, unemployment, or other welfare programs. That ratio is a new record, according to USA Today:

Government anti-poverty programs that have grown to meet the needs of recession victims now serve a record one in six Americans and are continuing to expand.
More than 50 million Americans are on Medicaid, the federal-state program aimed principally at the poor, a survey of state data by USA TODAY shows. That’s up at least 17% since the recession began in December 2007.

Think the Medicaid growth comes from the passage of ObamaCare in March? Think again. The expansion comes from the Great Recession and the loss of millions of jobs. The ObamaCare expansion will come on top of the additions to the enrollments over the last two years, and that has major implications for health care providers and customers alike:

The program has grown even before the new health care law adds about 16 million people, beginning in 2014. That has strained doctors. “Private physicians are already indicating that they’re at their limit,” says Dan Hawkins of the National Association of Community Health Centers. READ MORE...

IDIOT: America's Worst Governor Jennifer Granholm: Criticizing the Chevy Volt is “un-American” or something


Via Think Progress, which evidently thinks this is a nifty soundbite for their side. Since it’s their edit I assume it’s fair to the spirit of her remarks, in which case let me ask: Am I to understand that criticizing American-made products now qualifies as un-American? I.e. griping about the antenna issues on the new iPhone is … an act of disloyalty? Or are we limiting this critique to government-owned companies whose products may be both prohibitively expensive and hugely inefficient in terms of marginal gas mileage achieved, but who at least provide makework for American labor?

She’s not even making sense about GM paying back its loan. In fact, she’s not making sense about Limbaugh’s criticism either: He reiterated repeatedly in his recent monologues about this that his target was the administration’s handling of GM, not GM or the Volt. (“I want to stress again, my comments here have nothing to do with General Motors, the people that work there, their design staff, ’cause they’re not running it, and I’m not trying to talk anybody out of buying a General Motors car.”) Exit question: Is it un-American to think this is lame too

'Government Motors' Starts Donating to Democrats


When General Motors went through bankruptcy last year, it suspended its political donations. Now that it's owned by the U.S. government, it's donating to lawmakers' pet projects again.

The carmaker gave $41,000 to groups associated with lawmakers, the vast majority of it -- $36,000 -- to the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, the company reported on a disclosure form last week. The CBC Foundation is a charity with 11 members of the Congressional Black Caucus on its board.

"We've always given to the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation as far back as anyone can remember," said Greg Martin, GM spokesman. "Our commitment remains unabated, and we continue to be a proud supporter of their work to advance economic development in communities throughout the U.S."

According to its disclosure forms, the company did not give any money to honor lawmakers in 2009, the year of its bankruptcy filing. The U.S. government now has a 60 percent stake in the reformed company.

"By anyone's definition that was an extraordinary time for the company," Martin said. "We did suspend giving for that particular time."

GM's return to the business of donations remained small compared with the giving of some corporations. Overall, corporations and other entities that were registered to lobby Congress gave $10.7 million to honor politicians and military figures in the first six months of the year. That is down slightly from the $10.8 million spent in the last half of 2009. Donations were down 27 percent from the same period two years ago, but there were still 37 entities that gave at least six figures in the latest six-month period.

Defense contractors disclosed some of the biggest gifts. One of the top honorees was Rep. Ike Skelton (D-Mo.), chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, who was a guest at an April gala for the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors, a nonprofit group that provides counseling to friends and family who have lost loved ones in the military. BAE Systems donated $150,000 to the event, and defense contractor Science Applications International Corporation donated $100,000, according to disclosure forms. General Motors also gave $5,000 to honor Skelton. READ MORE...

Video: If you think GM paid anything back …


HotAir- We’ve covered this before, but Reason TV’s Nick Gillespie manages to explain this shell game in almost the same amount of time it took GM CEO Ed Whitacre to play it. Nick makes a pretty good point at the end of this but perhaps applies the warning to the wrong part of the car company. I’d be less worried about the math the engineers use … and a whole lot more about the salespeople.

Another CON JOB: How did GM pay off its bailout loans? Was it with TARP money? Are the 'idiots' too busy celebrating to notice?


GM released a commercial that touted its paying back the taxpayers in full, with interest, 5 years ahead of schedule, except:

1) GM was loaned an other $49.5 billion in a TARP escrow account
2) GM used money from the TARP escrow account to pay back the TARP loan (aka - pay off one credit card with another)
3) They did it to get a $10 billion loan from DOE and not make it look bad

It is an utter fraud and lie. GM can't even cover its own expenses yet!

HotAir- The backers of the bailouts to General Motors cried with triumph this week when the automaker announced that they had repaid their bailout loans ahead of schedule. That amounted to proof of the wisdom of government intervention, the argument went, and wondered aloud why bailout critics didn’t acknowledge their errors. Perhaps it’s because the government essentially got paid off with even more government money:
During an April 20 hearing on Capital Hill, Sen. Tom Carper, (D-Del.) asked some pointed questions of Neil Barofsky, the “special watch dog” on the Wall Street Bailout, aka, TARP.

“It’s good news in that they’re reducing their debt,” Barofsky said of the accelerated GM payments, “but they’re doing it by taking other available TARP money.”…

“It sounds like it’s kind of like taking money out of one pocket and putting in the other,” said Carper, who got a nod of agreement from Barofsky.
“The way that payment is going to be made is by drawing down on an equity facility of other TARP money.”

This prompted a stern letter from Senator Charles Grassley (R-IA), who backed the bailouts, to Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner about the shell game being played by the Obama administration and GM (via Yid with Lid, emphases mine): READ MORE...

Rush Limbaugh: 'Thank you, Mr. President!'


Playing off of President Obama's remark to Democrat donors yesterday that tea-party protesters should be thanking him instead of protesting his policies, talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh on his show today ran off a string of reasons he's grateful to Obama, culminating with "arousing the sleeping, silent majority" who are prepared to give his party an unprecedented thrashing at the polls in November.

Obama was speaking in Miami at a Democratic National Committee fundraiser.

"Since today happens to be tax day, I should just point out that one-third of the recovery act went to tax cuts. Tax cuts that strengthen the cornerstone of the American dream," Obama began.

Lowering his tone of voice in an apparent aside, he then shared with the Democrat donors that he had been "a little amused over the last couple of days where people have been having these rallies, about taxes." READ MORE...

Limbaugh thanked Obama for more than a dozen moves, including seizing General Motors and Chrysler, appointing a "pervert" as safe-schools czar, the "generational theft" of American wealth through massive borrowing and spending, insulting and endangering Israel, driving up the unemployment rate to double digits and "exploding the annual deficit" to a level at which it can never be repaid.

Limbaugh concluded: "But most of all, Mr. President, thank you for arousing the sleeping, silent majority, because we have been asleep too long.

"November is coming, Mr. President," Limbaugh warned. "That is when we will really thank you."

TOYOTA EXECS TURN ON DEMOCRATS: NOT 'INDUSTRY FRIENDLY'


Internal Toyota documents derided the Obama administration and Democratic Congress as “activist” and “not industry friendly," a revelation that comes days before the giant automaker's top executives testify on Capitol Hill amid a giant recall.

According to a presentation obtained under subpoena by the House Oversight and Government Relations committee, Toyota referred to the “changing political environment” as one of its main challenges and anticipated a "more challenging regulatory" environment under the Obama administration's purview.

MARK LEVIN- Obama's 10 Steps To Destroying American Society. We Backup Mark Levin's List With Some Evidence...


1.Rewrite the Constitution and break down its firewalls through Judicial and Bureaucratic fiat.

2.Concentrate all meaningful power in the Federal Government.

3.Suppress and Repress the Individual by attacking his Unalienable Rights through laws and constant torment.

4.Eliminate Private Property through Confiscatory Taxation and Regulation and wage constant war against Business Enterprises and Entrepreneurs.

5.Control Institutions of Education at all levels and turn them into Indoctrination Centers for the State.

6.Change the Citizenry by opening National Borders to virtually all comers and changing the qualifications for Citizenship to include mostly poor, uneducated illegal aliens.

7.Destroy the Private Financial Institutions that have funded the Greatest Production and Accumulation of Wealth for the Most People the World has ever known.

8.Destroy Capitalism and replace it with Redistributive Policies by Destroying the currency and Replacing it with a new currency or Revaluing the old currency.

9.Eliminate American Sovereignty through arrangements and agreements with Foreign Countries and International Bureaucracies.

10.Use American Foreign Policy not to improve American Economic and National Security, but to advance the Notion of One Government Globalism.

NOTE- Mark Levin is dead on and we're going to prove it.

Left-wing websites like Moveon.org, Media Matters, The Daily Kos and The Huffington Post are known to attack, lie and smear any opposition without any facts or evidence to back it up. We on the other hand, will provide facts and tons of VIDEO to prove our point.

See below for the overwhelming evidence supporting Mark Levin's 'Obama's Top 10 Steps To Destroying American Society' list.


Why are all these white people applauding?!?! It's because they're 'IDIOTS.' Hence- IdiotsForObama.Com

Why did Obama seal all of his college records and seek out Marxist professors in college? Why did he really study constitutional law? (See Below)


Remarkable document Obama says? It was the best document ever created! It's NOT flawed and it's part of what makes the United States of America the greatest country on earth. Obama doesn't realize that he's the one who is flawed.. Maybe he wants to be a dictator and be in power the next 10 years.. (See video below)


Okay, maybe we will let him slide on this one since he also seems to think we have 57 states in America. Oh..there's more (video below)....Let's talk Marxism....let's talk 'redistribution of wealth.'


Remember what he told Joe the Plumber? In case you forgot, see below...


The mind of a Marxist!


The reason we are showing this is because of Levin's #3- Suppress and Repress the Individual by attacking his Unalienable Rights through laws and constant torment.

We see a lot of this in the Obama administration. He attacks Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and Bill O'Reilly to name a few. These are people who have the highest rated shows and talk radio programs. Barack Obama even attacked the tea party movement which is made up of peaceful, hard working, patriotic and informed Americans who only want to put a stop a tyranical out of control government, wasteful spending and corruption. Wow, really bad people huh?

See Obama below attack FOX News and the Tea Parties. He recently attacked Scott Brown for driving a pickup truck and shaking hands with local residents. How childish and unpresidential...

Obama attacks anyone who is a threat to his radical agenda. He can't get away with his Chicago-style corruption and compulsive lies with FOX news, but with lap dogs NBC, CNN, CBS, MSNBC and ABC, Obama send thrills up their legs and has it made. These attacks might fool the rainbow of diverse liberal idiots planted behind Obama's podium, but he's not fooling most of the American people (anymore) and his sinking approval ratings are proof of that. Obama actually started attacking the polls when his approval rating was down in the low 40's. He's the most immature president in history.

Obama, Pelosi, Reid and other reckless democrats in congress are the main reason the Tea Party movement is so popular and is now polling higher than the progressive party (the former democrat party)

People are sick of corrupt politicians and big government. Most of it coming from the democratic party, which has been hijacked by progressive radicals.


How can you tell when the democrats are worried about their power in government? The president is sent out to attack the opposition. He does know that presidents aren't suppose to do that, right? Isn't he the president of ALL the people?

Go to YouTube and search 'Obama Attacks' and watch the huge drop box come down (FOX News, Scott Brown, Tea Party, Banks etc..) This was a tactic by one of Obama's mentors, Saul Alinsky..

Obama said he didn't want to run the banks and the auto industry...BUT...


Community organizers and Marxist minded individuals LIE to hide their true agenda. Obama is evidence of that.

HOW MUCH MORE EVIDENCE DO PEOPLE NEED?!?

Obama's 'manufactured crisis' are so obvious to the average American with a functioning brain, which explains why progressive liberals DON'T GET IT. The health care 'crisis' and the global warming 'crisis' are scams. They are examples of 'orchestrated' crisis' to scare Americans into accepting 2000 page bills of garbage and corruption that no one has even read. Yes, we need health care reform, but not 'Obama-Pelosi' care. That's not reform, that's a disaster. They want to attack the party of 'NO.' The party of 'NO' is the best thing going right now because these incompetent morons in congress can't run anything without bankrupting it and taxing the middle class to pay for their mistakes. The LESS they do, the better. They have lost credibility with the American people. It's THEIR fault, not the Tea Party, Scott Brown, Sarah Palin, Carrie Prejean, CEO's or FOX news fault.


Has Obama conned you? An exxaggerated 'economic crisis' allows the Obama administration to get away with this. Like Rahm Emanuel says, 'you never want a serious crisis to go to waste.' See below please...


We can go on and on ALL DAY about the way Obama operates, what he has done and his real agenda, but if you don't get it by now, you are either in denial, mentally deranged, or a naive idiot. If you're putting two and two together and still getting five, you just might not understand the Obama agenda. You decide...Spend some time surfing this site if you need more time....

FOR THE SLOW ONES- We will leave you with one more of the most disturbing videos we have ever seen. We don't know what's more disturbing, the fact that he even suggested this, or the fact that there are 'so-called' Americans sitting in the background applauding this stupid outrageous idea.


Well funded civilian security force? Rep. Paul Broun summed that statement up best by saying, "That's exactly what Hitler did in Nazi Germany and it's exactly what the Soviet Union did," Broun said. "When he's proposing to have a national security force that's answering to him, that is as strong as the U.S. military, he's showing me signs of being Marxist."

Still in denial anyone? Liberals? Did breaking this down so that even a six year old could understand it help any?

Less than 10 percent of Obama cabinet has private sector experience. Are you surprised? Reason 2497 that Obama supporters are 'super' idiots...


If we knew then, what we know now....oh wait; Conservatives DID know THEN what they know now. They knew that with BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome) going around and a bad economy, 'idiots' were too blind to realize that electing Obama would NOT only NOT FIX the economy, but make it ten times worse!

Maybe if these voting democrats just took a few minutes away from watching 'MTV' and 'Dancing with the Stars,' and hopped on google to fact check Obama, or read a good credible book on Obama and his associations and his true agenda, we wouldn't have an incompetent moron President and all of his radical friends in the White House running America into the ground at record speed..

So as Obama wants to turn the economy around, less than ten percent of the cabinet
officials he would presumably turn to for advice have ever worked in the private sector. Not encouraging....

'Help Wanted, No Private Sector Experience Required' READ MORE- CLICK HERE...


Why is this chart NOT surprising that democrats always seem to have the least. When you look at Obama's numbers, you would have to be a blind, brainwashed, jackass in denial to NOT see he is intentionally trying to kill the private sector. That's right, small businesses, capitalism and the 'evil greedy white males in America.' Obama is dead set on wealth redistribution. You know HOW we know this? HE SAID IT HIMSELF!

Liberals need to get their head out of their asses and stop living in denial. It's pathetic to watch...so watch the video below, and you will understand why we have every right in the world to call anyone who voted for Obama, a 'super' idiot..


How much more evidence do these people need?!?!?

(This video is 100% accurate and you can fact check it. If you find yourself on www. fightthesmears.com, than you're far beyond being just an idiot.)

Obama’s Union Car Czar Gets Big Promotion


Ron Bloom, the former United Steelworkers (USW) union bigwig appointed by President Barack Obama as “car czar” earlier this year is now poised to oversee ALL American manufacturing.

That’s right, a union boss whose forced unionism dogma destroys jobs, crushes employee free choice, and cripples the country’s competitiveness will soon be in charge of America’s entire industrial policy.

Bloom’s appointment and pending promotion are just pieces in the pattern of Obama’s shameless payback to the union bosses who got him elected.

What’s so troubling about Bloom’s ascendancy is the obvious connection between forced unionism and the debacle of General Motors and Chrysler in Detroit.

After the United Auto Workers (UAW) union bosses systematically crippled Detroit for decades with asinine and wasteful work rules and stifling union monopoly contracts that made it virtually impossible for America’s automotive industry to compete, the Obama Administration turned around and rewarded these UAW bosses with substantial ownership in the automakers they destroyed.

The appointment of Bloom suggests President Obama wants to impose Detroit’s catastrophic forced unionism model on all American manufacturing workers.

'Cash for Clunkers' runs out of gas. (Do you really want these morons controlling health care?)


'The Ultimate Libb Mobile.'

THE DEMOCRATS WERE JUST BRAGGING ABOUT HOW GREAT THIS PROGRAM WAS A FEW WEEKS AGO. (We know they were lying! But the idiots don't!)

The Obama administration plans to end the popular $3 billion Cash for Clunkers program on Monday, giving car shoppers a few more days to take advantage of big government incentives.

Dealers have complained of delays in getting reimbursed and backlogs of vehicle paperwork getting processed in the program. Dealers have said they face a risk of not being reimbursed but LaHood has pledged that dealers will get paid for the incentives READ MORE...

Cash for Clunkers: Just Spinning Wheels


The Ultimate 'Libb-Mobile.'

Another 'dumb liberal program' to con Americans into believing this will actually improve the economy. Heritage proves otherwise...

Is the federal government's "cash for clunkers" program a success? It has certainly been popular with car buyers, who have rushed to dealerships around the country to get their cars--and cash--under the program. In less than a week, the $1 billion put aside by Congress for the program has been depleted. To prevent the program from ending, the U.S. House of Representatives quickly approved an extra $2 billion to expand the program. The U.S. Senate will most likely take up the issue this week.

But there is a difference between popularity and success. The strong response to the program should be no surprise: No one doubts that if you hand out free cash, people will take it. But there is little evidence that the program is actually helping the economy or the environment. READ MORE..
