Reading about the Obama administration’s handling of the economy this morning, my emotions ran from outrage to outright laughter. Let’s go to the outrage first.
Anyone that’s in business will understand the following query. I questioned why Chrysler/Obama Motors decided on closing dealerships that are profitable and cost Chrysler nothing.
In the first place, in addition to jobs for economy, a dealership provides an opportunity for market share. In the second place, since the dealerships buy the cars from Chrysler, the dealers are really customers . . . cash paying customers. These are entrepreneurs that lay it on the line by risking their own money. If the cars these dealers buy from Chrysler don’t sell, the dealers loose, not Chrysler.
Hello . . . who turns away paying customers? The answer is . . . Obama Motors . . . the new government auto maker, populated with persons incapable of running a lemonade stand profitably. Why?
Well it appears the 789 dealerships being closed had (with few exceptions) one thing in common. These dealers contributed heavily to the Republican Party. Opps, my bad, Obamanomics doesn’t allow for differing opinions, ideas, or support for competing political parties.
Numerous sources that include Investor’s Business Daily and World Net Daily are reporting:
“Many of the closed dealers were also major donors to Republican candidates and political action committees, a review of campaign finance data from the Federal Election Commission shows,” Kenneth Timmerman wrote at NewsMax.com.
“How do we account for the fact millions of dollars were contributed to GOP candidates by Chrysler who are being closed by the government, but only one has been found so far that is being closed that contributed to the Obama campaign in 2008?” asked Examiner.com editorial page editor Mark Tapscott.
“The initial pass at the list of shuttered dealers showed they had donated, in the aggregate, millions to Republican candidates and PACs and a total of $200 to Barack Obama,”
OK, now for a good laugh this morning. Hat tip to The Black Sphere. This is a video worthy of The Onion. Enjoy!
