Is Obama bullying Toyota?

With all the publicity given to Toyota's recent recall, some are beginning to question whether the Obama administration is bullying one of its chief competitors?

From Google News:
"The optics are terrible because -- and this is what happens when a government owns a company - the two companies that are going to gain the most out of this are General Motors and Chrysler," said Peter Morici, a professor at the University of Maryland's business school.

"But their behavior is consistent with the general policy of the US government, whether it's dealing with coffeemakers or cars."
What seems more suspect is the media's sudden interest in Toyota's recall.  For years, the Ministry of Propaganda ignored any problems with foreign auto makers but plastered the most minute issues with Ford, Chrysler, and General Motors all over the front pages of their newspapers and used them as leads for their television broadcasts. 

The Ministry of Propaganda didn't stop at just blowing real issues out of proportion.  When they couldn't find any real information detrimental to America's Big Three Automakers, they made it up.  In 1994 Tom Brokaw and NBC News created fictional hysteria around General Motor's side mounted gas tanks.  The hit piece was proven to be a fraud and GM eventually sued NBC news.

David Champion, director of automobile testing for Consumer Reports magazine, said the reaction to the recall was overblown.

"When you look at the statistics we are putting an awful lot of effort on a very small risk," he said.

"There has been something like 2,000 complaints of unintended acceleration in some 20 million Toyota vehicles -- it's almost like trying to find a needle in a haystack."

Now that GM and Chrysler have been annexed by Obama and his band of International Marxists, the Ministry of Propaganda is circling the wagons around their kindred and have their sites set on one of Obama's biggest competitors, Toyota.  Look for more damaging propaganda designed to clear the playing field for GM and Chrysler.  This is the same tactic Hussein the Usurper uses in his political races. 

Change! Yes we can!

God help us.
