Bailout on the Brink
Washington Free Beacon, by Bill McMorris

Original Article

Posted By:MissMolly, 12/6/2012 5:31:16 PM

A New York federal judge may rule imminently on a case that could reverse the General Motors (GM) bailout and send the company back into bankruptcy, according to sources close to the case. At issue is a backroom deal hatched by GM to fulfill the Obama administration’s demand for a quick bankruptcy, draining the automaker of nearly all of its cash on hand and leaving it in worse shape than it was when it collapsed in 2009. One condition of GM’s bailout was to shore up its overseas subsidiaries. On the eve of entering bankruptcy,

Is this any indication that the bondholders who were stiffed may get some of their stolen monies?

This is just a guess, but...even if the bankruptcy judge alters the original bankruptcy decision, president zero will appeal the case, and argue in federal court that since foreign matters are involved/entangld in the hedge fund dealings , his powers to deal with foreign policy, enshrined in the constitution, trump any bankruptcy proceedings.
I realize it is a stretch to come up with that, but nothing would surprise me with this presidency, or with the chief justice, after Roberts found the penalty was a tax, and forcing a person to buy a product or be taxed was somehow constitutional.

That whole case stinks.
It has turned secured creditors´ rights on its ear. Too bad the bond holders (institutions and pensions, hello) and dealerships that were destroyed didn´t band together to fight it.
But with the media against them I guess they stood no chance.
What industry is next in line to be destroyed?
We will either be destroyed or have our emails read, cars tracked and guns taken away by next year. Gloomy future.

I swore off GM. Will never buy another. If the judge reverses the bailout and pays off the stock holders, and if GM survives it, I might buy one, again.

#7, you have a point and, like you, I swore never to buy GM again. I think I still probably won´t because even before this huge Zerobama payoff to his union buddies, the unions were still causing the price of the cars to be way too high. I think I´ll just buy used... or walk. GM actually going through a real bankruptcy has been a dream of mine, too.

Every patriotic American should absolutely boycott GM and drive it out of existence... Teach obama a lesson so he doesn´t try to take over any other private companies and ignoring the rule of law in the process.
One more example of obama´s "ant-Midas" touch - everything he touches turns to CRAP. America will be his ant-Midas masterpiece by the time he is finished with us.

I will never buy another GM product ever. 0bama crafted the most horrid and biased bankruptcy to ever go through the courts. The original bond holders were not given a dime, so that 0bama´s greedy union thugs could keep their bloated wages and pensions. Right now, we, the taxpayers, are still bailing out GM, as Ally, GM´s loan company is OWNED 80% by the government (taxpayers), and Ally is giving cars out to anyone, most with no ability to pay. 0% down, 0% interest, and 0 payments for several months. GM is just clucking at how many deadbeats are buying their cars, and the taxpayers end up paying once again. No, I will never buy GM ever again.

If the judge was denied info by the parties then he should sanction the parties and their attorneys. Some lawyers should do 30 days for contempt.

The claim that Obama saved GM is fraudulent. What he did was use political muscle to intervene in a bankruptcy process in order to ensure a settlement on terms favorable to his supporters, the United Auto Workers union, at the expense of taxpayers (or "freeloaders," in the president´s parlance) and bondholders. It would be more accurately characterized as an act of larceny than salvation.

Does the judge have the gonads to do what a judge in any other case would do when a bankrupt debtor is caught red handed hiding debts and concealing double-dealings? He admits in the piece that he was sloppy because he was swayed by the enormity of his decision. So, will he do what the law requires, which he did not do the first time, or knuckle under again?

I vote for knuckle under again. I wonder if NSA is capturing those phone calls, text messages, e-mails, tweets, etc. between the WH and the judge now. Enquiring minds want to know.

MIAMI -- Lilly Pulitzer hosted parties in her bare feet and wasn´t afraid to get a little messy - just as long as she looked good and had fun, too. In the late 1950s, the Palm Beach socialite had time to spare and a wealthy husband who owned citrus groves, so she opened an orange juice stand just off the island´s main shopping street. Pulitzer needed to hide all the juice stains on her clothes,though. Instead of just putting on an apron, she asked her seamstress to make some sleeveless dresses

Still OK to withdraw welfare benefits
at ATMs in Colorado strip clubs
Daily Caller, by Greg Campbell    Original Article
Posted By: MissMolly- 4/7/2013 5:49:05 AM     Post Reply
An attempt by Colorado lawmakers to ban welfare recipients from withdrawing their benefits at ATMs located inside strip clubs was killed by Democrats Thursday night, even though the state House’s third-ranking Democratic legislator supported the measure. Democratic Rep. Dan Pabon lent his support to the Republican-led proposal, offered as an amendment during a debate on the state budget Thursday night, because it would hew to a similar federal rule, according to the Denver Post. Pabon introduced a bill on the issue two years ago, but it didn’t clear the state Senate. State welfare recipients receive their benefits

Cruel founding fathers

Add the name of Michelle Lynne (ne Robert) Kosilek to the list of modern phenomena the Founding Fathers would definitely not appreciate being blamed for. Little did they know what havoc they would someday wreak by adding the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution to prohibit “cruel and unusual punishment.” Now comes Kosilek, a convicted wife murderer doing life without parole. He/she is claiming that it would be cruel and unusual punishment to deny him/her a sex-change operation — excuse me, “gender-reassignment surgery.”Not to get too graphic, but Kosilek is begging for elective amputation of a body part.

PLEASE don’t ask me this anymore. It’s such a silly question. Of course Hillary is running. I’ve never met a man who was told he could be president who didn’t want to be president. So naturally, a woman who’s told she can be the first commandress in chief wants to be. “Running for president is like sex,” James Carville told me. “No one ever did it once and forgot about it.” Joe Biden wants the job. He’s human (very). But he’s a realist. He knows the Democratic Party has a messianic urge to finish what it started

Two very bad and extremely dangerous economic developments happened yesterday — and Wall Street appeared to miss both of them. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 40.86 points to 14565.25 after the Labor Department announced that the seasonally adjusted number of new jobs created in March was just 88,000 — far below the 190,000 or so Wall Street expected. The March figure was also less than one-third the number of jobs created during February. This led to the misperception that the job market tanked in March. It didn’t.

   

 



 
Duck Dynasty Must

Duck Dynasty must make liberals heads explode. It is now the most popular “non-scripted” show currently on television. Its Season 3 premiere had 8.6 million viewers and a massive 4.0 rating in the 18-49 demographic, which as you might know, is quite popular with the advertisers. At the same time, each episode ends with the entire family at the dinner table where they pray before eating. Indeed, the Robertson clan is entirely evangelical. They take their faith in Christ seriously and exert quite a bit of effort preaching the gospel. The patriarch of the family, Phil, used to live

Ohio’s Mike DeWine, Alabama’s Luther Strange and Georgia’s Sam Olens, eat your hearts out: President Barack Obama thinks California’s Kamala Harris is the belle of the ball among the nation’s top government lawyers. “She’s brilliant and she’s dedicated, she’s tough … She also happens to be, by far, the best looking attorney general,” Obama said at a Democratic National Committee luncheon in Atherton, Calif., Thursday. “It’s true! C’mon.” Obama’s remark set the chattering class atwitter. Certainly, Obama meant no insult, but in singling out Harris for her looks, Obama joins a long list of public figures

It must be something in the water at the State Department — every secretary sooner or later develops an insatiable yearning to be the guy or gal who finally unlocked the secret to Middle East peace. Now Kerry has the peace process bug. The State Department spokeswoman did her best to lower expectations. (“His diplomacy will be based on what he hears from the parties”), but it was hard to conceal what a fruitless endeavor this is. Indeed, it is downright bizarre that while North Korea is saber-rattling, the Syrian war sends reverberations through the region,

Fee? What fee? : The Met denies

Art lovers, put away your wallets: In a surprise statement today, the Met said that it’s never tried to paint over rules requiring it to let anyone in for free. Lots of art connoisseurs know that the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s $25 admission charge is just a suggestion, and that you can get in by paying what you want, or nothing at all. But a lawsuit filed in state Supreme Court last November says the Met hides that policy from visitors. And two weeks ago, a former supervisor at the museum told The Post that he’d arranged for security officers

How to Survive a Sex Scandal:
Mark Sanford Edition

Posted By: MissMolly- 4/5/2013 5:17:44 AM     Post Reply
How do you survive a sex scandal? Public-relations reps and crisis-communications counselors have made careers of dispensing advice on such matters. And so the usual counsel follows a fairly trite and untested path: Be honest from the start. Apologize. Make sure your wife stands behind you. Hogwash, for the most part. Everyone apologizes, nearly everyone’s wife is supportive, and no one is honest from the start. But still some politicians survive sordid situations, and some do not. Why? Let’s allow history to be our guide. There are more than enough examples to choose from. It was only Tuesday that former South Carolina governor

The Borking of Michele Bachmann

Shocker. Having failed to end Congresswoman Michele Bachmann’s congressional career at the polls, the left is now moving to do it the old-fashioned way: Bork Bachmann unto political death. The problem? This really is the old-fashioned way. And any conservative even semi-awake recognizes the game instantly. In this case the game being played with the so-called Office of Congressional Ethics, the OCE. This is what we now call “Borking.” The method of choice of liberals when they are frustrated by the public’s attachment or potential attachment to a political figure on the Right.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank
