Abu Wabu

No surprises here. This is exactly the kind of administration idiots have been Hope-ing for. It wasn't enough for Obama to rob private investors in the Chrysler deal; he had to defame them as well. Now it seems Obama threatened to sick his sycophantic White House Press Corpse on them.

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.

So let's see now: first, show all the lawyers that working for the government can get you ruined and/or jailed years later; then show capital that it's time to fly away for a few years.

I have a gift, Harry.

Partisanship might actually be a good thing because it would bring the bias to the surface. That way the reader will have the choice of consciously reading the pro-Obama media or the anti-Obama media and anything they might care to identify in between. That could be better than picking up the “papers” and assuming the contents in it were truth instead of processed fact.
