[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 524460, member: 2189"] With all the talk about the auto industry, nationalizing the auto industry, :blahblah: etc. I ran across an op-ed at Taki's Magazine about Steve Rattner who is, if you will, referred to as the "Car Czar!" How accurate? but it is catchy. :happy-very: Now I can't remember having heard the Rattner name or not but since in the above op-ed, the NY Times was mentioned, I thought a google was in order so here is what I found about our new "Car Czar." NY Times 4/17 [URL='http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/r/steven_rattner/index.html?scp=2&sq=Steve+Rattner&st=cse'][COLOR=red]Steve Rattner[/COLOR][/URL] NY Times 2/24 [URL='http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/24/business/24rattner.html?_r=1'][COLOR=red]New York Financier Picked as Top Adviser on Auto Industry Bailout[/COLOR] [/URL] NY Times 4/6 [URL='http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/06/business/06rattner.html'][COLOR=red]Obama’s Top Auto Industry Troubleshooter[/COLOR] [/URL] NY Times 4/17 [URL='http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/17/nyregion/17pension.html'][COLOR=red]Obama Adviser Said to Be Tied to Pension Deal[/COLOR] [/URL] NY Times 4/22 [URL='http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/22/business/22quadrangle.html'][COLOR=red]Quadrangle Facing Questions Over Pension Funds[/COLOR] [/URL] But I save the "best" for last as it includes something that proves so interesting when you consider the word "CHANGE" in relation to this new adminstration. NY Times 4/17 [URL='http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/18/nyregion/18pension.html'][COLOR=red]In State Pension Inquiry, a Scandal Snowballs [/COLOR][/URL] Let me quote from above for that dramatic effect! :wink2: The Carlyle Group and Rattner is according to the above "has emerged as a significant figure!" :surprised: Say it ain't so!!!!! Not Bush and Cheney's Carlyle Group! :rofl: Watch how easy this flows. Bush, Carlyle, Republicans! Bush, Carlyle, Republicans! Bush, Carlyle, Republicans! Bush, Carlyle, Republicans! Bush, Carlyle, Republicans! Obama, Carlyle, Republicans! Obama, Carlyle, Republicans! Obama, Carlyle, Republicans! Obama, Carlyle, Democrats! Obama, Carlyle, Democrats! Obama, Carlyle, Democrats! Obama, Carlyle, Democrats! See how that just flowed right in there and if your not looking closely, you'll never catch it. That is how these scoundrels operate. If you think putting a rose in the middle of a cesspool is gonna sweeten the stinch, the only thing you end up with is a rose covered in ------- (I can't say that word but you know what it is!) :peaceful: Something to think about. If this country and what we are doing and the course we've been headed in for years via both political parties is so great, then did you ever ask yourself why we owe some much debt to the Chinese and we give Russian titles to heads of gov't bureacracies? :surprised: [/QUOTE]
