Yep, that's the big scandal being pushed by conservatives online now. A large percentage of the dealerships being closed are run by people who gave to Republicans.

Oh wait, do you think that maybe car dealership owners who make political donations ARE overwhelmingly Republican? Nah, couldn't be. Has to be another Obama plot.

5. didn't he vote AGAINST funds to help the auto makers?
Now he blames Obama for dealership closures?

Get meme out: GOP can't have it both ways.

2. Moreover, Chrysler made the decisions about what dealerships to close.

May 28th, 2009
Who decided which Chrysler dealers to close?
http://blogs.reuters.com/frontrow/2009/05/28/who-decided-which-chrysler-dealers-to-close/

<SNIP>

Chrysler said in the Reuters article that it made the decisions based on location, customer satisfaction and sales potential. The company also noted that almost half of the targeted dealerships sell other brands of cars and most rely on used vehicle sales for their business.

The White House denied suggestions that the Autos Task Force was involved in deciding which dealerships would be closed and expanded that denial to include production plants.

“The president’s task force on autos did not pick individual dealerships,” White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said during Thursday’s daily briefing in Washington. “It isn’t involved in picking what plants may or may not be closed.”

Asked if there was any concern about the possibility of politics tainting the decisions, Gibbs issued a broad denial.

“Let me reiterate that we don’t make those decisions,” he said. “Chrysler makes those decisions. So I’m sure you can send Chrysler the address of the blog that you refer to.”

9. They must be against free market principles.
After all, if the dealerships failed, it must be their fault and that they didn't work hard enough and can't run a business. Only the hard working succeed.

:sarcasm:
