What can I say that wasn't already said by the commentators on the video. I feel the same. It causes more than a little incredulity and irritation on Wall Street, this defense of Main Street interests. BUT... now hear me out, stop howling, this is the same feeling Main Street had about the big bank and insurance bailouts.
Thanks for posting this Edmundo. I believe that keeping policies consistent and known is equally important as what those policies are. Changing the rules of the game mid-stride does not encourage anybody to play. That's pretty scary.

And of course there is no way to know this for sure, but...
I'm having a hard time believing that the Obama Administration would be pushing this level of impropriety without even trying to cover it up if it weren't for the unchecked corruption of the last administration.
My meaning is this. Did the Bush administration set the bar of American expectations so low that Obama can now clear it in street shoes? The unions are to this administration what Haliburton was to the last.
I'm really starting to think that true conservatives should just admit that we've lost the country and move on. Every administration since Reagan has been a bigger disaster than the last from a conservative standpoint. It's looking more and more like the country has evolved (evolution isn't always a good thing) and left conservatives behind.
Maybe the U.S. is just too big to support freedom. Maybe liberty is just too delicate to survive outside the laboratory of small communities of human beings who want to be left alone.
I live outside the U.S. because I'm raising two young sons and I don't want them to see what the country has become before I'm able to teach them what it once was, what it was meant to be.
Is it time for conservatives (real conservatives, not the neo-conservative, religious nutjobs who've hijacked the Republican party) to wave the white flag and admit that the fight is lost?
Let me guess, you want your sons to look back fondly on a time (only around 45-50 years ago) when blacks were second-class citizens? A time when your hero Reagan supported a racist regime in South Africa and called Mandela a member of a terrorist organization? What about when Ronnie covertly orchestrated a war in Central America which left countless innocents dead in the war against "communism"?
There are only a few highlights of the past 50 or so years, the list is endless and goes back to before our founding in reality.
So when exactly was it when the US was "what it was meant to be"?
I'm no bleeding-heart liberal I assure you, I don't even support Obama on this issue, but I also don't conveniently forget my country's failings in order to convince myself that the USA was once a shining beacon of freedom and liberty.
Correct. Anyone who supports freedom is a racist.
Easy there, liberal arts major.
I loved America enough to leave it. Perhaps you hate it enough to do the same?
I simply cannot understand why the secured creditors gave up to the UAW without much effort. Did they fight according to the law?
