Obama Auto Team Called Shareholder a “Terrorist”

A little insight into how the Obama Administration views those who would get in the way of its agenda.

You’ll recall that Thomas Lauria, representing a host of shareholders in Chrysler, alleged that the administration attempted to intimidate them into giving up their rights by threatening to destroy them via the White House Press Corps. Well, apparently members of Congress decided to look into the claim and in the process came across e-mail exchanges between the auto task force and an analyst.

In the video below, Rep, Steven LaTourette (R-OH) reads from some of the emails, including one where the task force refers to Lauria as a “terrorist”.

Wow. As LaTourette points out, Lauria was representing a teacher’s pension fund in Illinois. The teachers thought it was a safe investment because they were secured creditors, meaning they have a legal right to be first in line for payback during a bankruptcy. Lauria apparently had the nerve to demand that the U.S. government follows contract law, and that earns him being referred to as a “terrorist”? Your government at work.
