Obama White House: Play ball with us or we will destroy you


Obama White House actually threatens private citizens to side with them on Chrysler deal or they promise to publicly humiliate them.

Lauria: Let me tell you it’s no fun standing on this side of the fence opposing the President of the United States. In fact, let me just say, people have asked me who I represent. That’s a moving target. I can tell you for sure that I represent one less investor today than I represented yesterday. One of my clients was directly threatened by the White House and in essence compelled to withdraw its opposition to the deal under the threat that the full force of the White House Press Corps would destroy its reputation if it continued to fight. That’s how hard it is to stand on this side of the fence.

Beckman: Was that Perella Weinberg?

Lauria: That was Perella Weinberg.

Certainly puts that whole AIG story into perspective.


UPDATE: White House denies allegation. Claims "Bart Simpson defense".

For someone who is in favor of torture, I know a little bullying doesn't bother you does it?

@ Flavor C ... the day lawyers, hedge fund managers, and private investors start hijacking airplanes and crashing them into buildings killing 3,000 innocent people in a span of 90 minutes, then yes, i will include them on my list of people to torture. your comment seems to suggest that you think their is some truth to this story.

First, the movie poster is great.

Your just not reading the news Stormin. It's a new day in America. Change has come. This administration is more transparent and looking out for the little guy. Now be a good comrade and drink your Kool-aid.
