I just watched (and laughed my ass off) Jim Anderer, former Island Jeep "owner" actually blame Barack Obama as a "socialist" who is hell-bent on destroying America because Chrysler management decided to close down where he worked and keep the other dealership down the street from him.
So Obama (and the czars) somehow make Chrysler make a management decision and, here's the best part, his non-union dealership was somehow done in because of those evil unions... except that his dealership was a non-union shop.
So I went looking and found Uber-Asshat Neil Cavuto interview this paranoid knucklehead. The question was about how Obama made the Chrysler management shut down 789 dealerships:
JIM ANDERER, OWNER, ISLAND JEEP: Well, I think it`s a total catastrophe. It`s an absolute disaster. These guys that the administration keeps appointing in these positions, they have not a clue about the car business. Not one of them comes from the automotive industry, OK? These are ivory tower guys. They are Wall Street guys, at best.
CAVUTO: Did any of them ever tell you why your dealerships had to go?
ANDERER: No, no, they can`t. They don`t even know the reason. All right?
CAVUTO: Why do you -- what do you think was the reason?
ANDERER: All right, I`m going to lay it out for you again.
Jim Press sat there with President Obama and he said, I come from Toyota. Toyota is a great company. They sell a lot of cars, and we have viewers dealers. So, logic dictates, oh, we need less dealers, OK? So, then Obama gets it in his brain less dealers, less dealers, OK, not taking the next step and figuring out, you know, that the Chrysler product and General Motors product is not Toyota. It is a different product, all right?
There is still no reason to -- to close all these stores down. You know, these guys are -- this new czar -- I mean, what is with the czars anyway?
CAVUTO: Because it rhymes with car.
ANDERER: You know, this President Obama seems to have some fascination with Russia. I mean, when you think of a czar, who came up with that term? Do you think of a czar...
(snip)
ANDERER: That has actually been verified in a few cases. But I don`t think that happened in my particular case. And, in most cases, I don`t believe it happened.
CAVUTO: Well, you didn`t have a union shop?
ANDERER: I did not have a union shop.
(snip)
CAVUTO: So, your Jeeps that you were selling, what? Where do they go?
ANDERER: This is -- it goes to the dealer down the street, who was more politically connected corporately, OK, not national politics, corporate politics.
He`s getting my franchise for free, all right? Now, I don`t know about you, but that should not happen in America. I mean, this is insane, that they would come in and take my property from me. I have put -- now terrorists` 40 people out of work in Lindenhurst, New York, on Long Island, a small little village, all right, a great place to have a business, sold a ton of cars.
(snip)
ANDERER: Well, you know, then I have to question his motives. What is the -- what is the man`s problem? Is he totally driving us towards socialism? Is this his goal?
Because, if it that is the case, folks, out there, man, you better wake up, because, this country, we are losing it, and we are losing it fast.
CAVUTO: Jim Anderer, thank you very much.
http://www.allbusiness.com/automotive/automotive-overview/12376045-1.htmlOK, now I see it. Obama put a mind meld on the Chrysler management and he, czars and unions (which were not part of his dealership) are to blame for this guy losing his dealership. Yeah, bankruptcy law allows Chrysler to end dealerships franchises... and they did, but then again, let's blame the Commie, Socialist, Marxist, Muslim, Anti-American Scary Black Guy in charge...
