Bankruptcy economist and Internet powerhouse Andy Martin says Barack Obama’s bailout of the UAW and Chrysler, is “stealing”

Andy Martin says Obama’s Chrysler “plan” is a bailout of the UAW, not the automaker

Martin is the only bankruptcy expert who has made the disturbing observation that “hedge funds” and other investment firms get their capital from pension funds and charitable entities; Obama wants to steal from these charities and pension plans, of other firms, to subsidize a UAW bailout.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF THURSDAY NEWS CONFERENCE IN CHICAGO

(CHICAGO)(April 30, 2009) Internet powerhouse and bankruptcy economist Andy Martin will hold a Chicago news conference today, Thursday, April 30th to denounce Barack Obama’s Chrysler/UAW bailout.

Martin calls Obama’s Chrysler/UAW bailout proposal “stealing,” and says rewarding the UAW for destroying the automobile industry is like handing out cash rewards to bank robbers. Martin calls Obama’s bankruptcy plan “delusional” and says it was drafted by a Wall Street influence peddler, Steve Ratner, and a failed Wall Street overseer, Tim Geithner.

“We have been swamped with requests for interviews from around the world, because ContrarianCommentary.com is the only source for independent bankruptcy analysis,” says Martin.

“There is a word for what Obama is doing: stealing. Obama wants to steal from some creditors, which creditors in turn are owned by and owe a fiduciary duty to other pension funds and small shareholders, to reward the UAW. The UAW helped engineer the destruction of the auto industry. Why reward the UAW for utter and complete failure and for the union’s contempt for the laws of economics? Jobs bank, anyone?

“Let me be clear, there is no such thing as a ‘surgical’ bankruptcy. Barack Obama is, once again, demonstrating his lack of competence and experience as an attorney when he tells the public Chrysler can be restructured in 30 or 60 days. That is delusional. Obama is similarly dreaming when he says a Section 363 sale can easily sail through the courts without opposition.

“Unlike politicians and presidential candidates, who can promise the moon and lie through their teeth, courts actually have to obey the Constitution and provide due process to all interested parties, and not just bow down to the emperor Obama. Due process can’t be served up on a skillet.

“I don’t know yet whether the Department of Justice will petition a federal district court to withdraw jurisdiction from a bankruptcy judge; but if a bankruptcy judge assumes the case, it will take time to organize the proceeding before any progress can be made.

“This ‘bankruptcy’ is going to leave a foul taste in the mouths of American workers who are being robbed to reward the UAW. Why favor one family over another? Why one worker over another? Are the UAW’s political contributions a reason to discriminate? The UAW is bragging that its past bribery of politicians will now allow it to steal from other worker retirement plans to maintain the unsustainable benefits it received in another era. That’s what Obama is really doing, and no one wants to inform the public. He is robbing from other state and city workers, from anyone and everyone who has pension benefits which are invested by third parties. Obama wants to take “other peoples’ money,” and turn the stolen money over to the UAW on a silver platter as payback for the UAW’s past history of political contributions.

“Barack Obama is stealing from the American people to reward the UAW. It’s disgraceful.

“I expect creditors to fight Obama’s takeover and giveaway. The process will drag on a lot longer than people now anticipate. It is a sad day for the American people when their president, who is supposed to represent all of us, is picking his political contributors and supporters to reward, and screwing the rest of the nation by stealing our retirement savings. Hugo Chavez and Barack Obama? Perfect together,” Martin says.
