Guess he didn't care for the boss much.......





Key points from the article and excerpts:
-When Obama was told of the plan to pay GM CEO Rick Wagoner a $7.1 million severance package after Obama ordered that he be sacked, Rattner writes: "Suddenly I felt that I was indeed in the presence of a community organizer..."
-Rattner describes presidential political adviser David Axelrod coming to car meetings armed with poll data to support the takeover and Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel identify Congressmen in whose districts large Chrysler facilities were located.
-"[Obama's economic team] veered dangerously close to having the government take control of the two most troubled banks, Bank of America and Citigroup."
-"If his team had linked arms with the outgoing administration, as President Bush's advisers had proposed, billions of dollars could well have been saved."
-Rattner says Chief of Staff Rahm Emanual dictated Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner's schedule, public appearances and staff selections.
-He says Obama economic advisers Larry Summers and Austan Goolsbee and FDIC Chair Sheila Bair as enemies who slowed down decision making with infighting
-Rattner said Obama was frustrated with the auto companies from the start: "Why can't they make a Corolla?" he has Obama asking.

He's your man FORD you keep him, so no retort ? You are predictable, that is why you are the most disliked poster on any Van Halen forum.

I have NEVER been a fan of Rahm Emanuel. He's the poster child for "everything that is currently wrong with the Democratic party".

He might as well be KKKarl Rove. As despicable as Rove is, at least he never wore the uniform of a foreign military while the US was in a stupid illegal war (Rahm did a stint in the IDF while Poppy Bush invaded Iraq.)

He's a little annoying thug. I would love to drop him out of a plane into Gaza.

So which member of the VH Links Chickenshit brigade are you, troll?

Sure is odd how you activated yourself, the minute that Cheesereichenfuhrer Van Slanderqueen's name was raised with the whole Tom Vu alias troll thing.

He posted the same old tired Spam about Hagar album sales the other day. I dumped it into the GAyR spam thread, because it was coming from the same Orange County Library IP that all his shit does. Then Cato tells me that Vu is NOT the troll GAyR, but actually the troll Van Squalen. And right after that, this piece of shit from Aurora Colorado shows up.

Odd coincidence, huh?

Gotta have the garlic mashed potatoes with that!

Ingredients

* 3 1/2 pounds russet potatoes
* 2 tablespoons kosher salt
* 16 fluid ounces (2 cups) half-and-half
* 6 cloves garlic, crushed
* 6 ounces grated Parmesan

Directions

Peel and dice potatoes, making sure all are relatively the same size. Place in a large saucepan, add the salt, and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and then reduce heat to maintain a rolling boil. Cook until potatoes fall apart when poked with a fork.

Heat the half-and-half and the garlic in a medium saucepan over medium heat until simmering. Remove from heat and set aside.

Remove the potatoes from the heat and drain off the water. Mash and add the garlic-cream mixture and Parmesan; stir to combine. Let stand for 5 minutes so that mixture thickens and then serve.

Really? Um, you just posted a cut-and-paste without explaining the supposed horrors of each bullet point. And you're actually calling-out people for not posting their opinion when you're too dumb to articulate one of your own? Really?

But feel free to explain to the terrible hindsight of Obama rhetorically asking why can't we make a reliable, if boring, small car that gets great mileage? I can't find anything controversial or startling at all really.
