If the others have only their liberal attacks to offer why should she waste time trying to prove that what was said is right?

I agree. To begin with, the article linked is from some right-wing blog. Secondly, even contributers to Clinton and Edwards are said to be Obama's "opponents", which was true during the primary season, but not afterward.

These things take time - cross referencing donor lists with dealerships. Patience grasshopper.

Is this the type of thing POTUS should be involved in? Most of these dealerships were very profitable - was Chrysler told which ones to close based on partisan, political thuggery by obama?

Oh, sure. Like Obama's not got bigger things to worry about?

Is it just possible (and I know Occam's infamous Razor is hard for conspiracy theory fans to wrap their minds around) that the simplest answer is the likeliest ones-- that the Chrysler PTB made the decision?

If nothing else, one would hardly think the President would want Vern Buchanan (R-Sarasota, FL) to have more time on his hands.

Hmm.....lets see

Are more car dealerships owned by people who would support which party?

Closing 14% of your dealerships would effect those who support which party most?

Closing stores that were selling few vehicles or paired with non-chrysler brands would effect those who support which party?

No Obama needed.

It's a conspiracy!

The evil Obama is applying his vengeance to those who oppose his Draconian ways.

not liberal attacks, just asking for some proof.

First, you'd have to figure out what percentage of dealerships as a whole are owned by R v. D.

It 80% of car dealerships are owned by Republicans, then it's going to make sense that 80% of the ones closed are going to be owned by Republicans.

If 80% of dealerships that are underperforming are in Red States that are solidly Republican, it's going to make sense that the majority of those closed are going to be owned by Republicans.

Yep, because that's never happened in history.

But America's different and special! Can't happen here!

Because otherwise, instead of the alleged "classic Chicago politics" it's classic NeoConfused baseless blather.
