Ernie,
I surprised at the "If only Obama new!" defense. That's exactly what
the common person in Stalin's USSR used to say when their neighbor
was hauled of to the camp. "If only Stalin new...". I don't buy it.
Wait, now Obama is Stalin?!? That seems to be getting real close to
"Bush is Hitler" strategy. :-)
Look, I absolutely agree that this needs to be investigated, and it is
entirely possible there is some high-level corruption going on, for
which Obama is indirectly responsible for hiring and trusting certain
people.
But I find it completely incredulous that Obama would deliberately
risk his presidency on something as petty as Chrysler dealerships in
exchange of obscure political favors. Especially given (so far) a
complete lack of evidence.
I could be wrong, I suppose, but would you really be willing to bet
against me?

This is interesting. All of the Little Rock Dealerships were closed
so that Mack McLarty and his partner Steve Landers can have the
only one in the metropolitan area. This was the testimony before
Congress given in the last day or so.
I agree it is a suspicious pattern, and I am very glad to see
Congress investigating (though as usual, I'd prefer a link as
well :-).
Favoritism and cronyism towards preferred dealer group is not a
valid exercise of business judgment.
Our post-partisan President seems to be quite partisan after all.
There you go again. There may well be evidence of malfeasance, but
must you blame everything personally on Obama without any direct
proof whatsoever?
He may well be ultimately culpable for whomever he appointed or
nominated for a position of responsibility, but it strikes me
unlikely in the extreme that he personally directed or knew of any
chicanery. However sly he may or may not be, he can't possibly be
that stupid.
