Looters and Thugs

That's the best and most accurate description of the Obama Administration. Threats, intimidation, strong arm tactics, payola, dirty union corruption and ACORN street thuggery.

He desecrates the White House by being in it. He and his henchmen.

And even though I'm a Rightwing Extremist and and Enemy of the Zombie State...it isn't just my politics talking. Michael Barone, a generally calm spoken, reasonable, intelligent and well-respected columnist and journalist - has some mighty strong words to say about:

White House Puts UAW Ahead of Property Rights

But my sadness turned to anger later when I heard what bankruptcy lawyer Tom Lauria said on a WJR talk show that morning. "One of my clients," Lauria told host Frank Beckmann, "was directly threatened by the White House and in essence compelled to withdraw its opposition to the deal under threat that the full force of the White House press corps would destroy its reputation if it continued to fight."

After that came a denunciation of the objecting bondholders as "speculators" by Barack Obama in his press conference last Thursday. And then death threats to bondholders from parties unknown.

The White House denied that it strong-armed Perella Weinberg. The firm issued a statement saying it decided to accept the settlement, but it pointedly did not deny that it had been threatened by the White House. Which is to say, the threat worked.

The same goes for big banks that have received billions in government TARP money. Many of them want to give back the money, but the government won't let them. They also voted to accept the Chrysler settlement. Nice little bank ya got there, wouldn't want anything to happen to it.

Left-wing bloggers have been saying that the White House's denial of making threats should be taken at face value and that Lauria's statement is not evidence to the contrary. But that's ridiculous. Lauria is a reputable lawyer and a contributor to Democratic candidates. He has no motive to lie. The White House does.

This is what respected and respectable people are saying about the ZerO Regime. That is definitely not a good sign. Not for the country, and not for the TOTUS thugs. This is the sort of public perception that brings down even kings.

One can only hope.
