Obama's gangster government

What's mine is mine; what's yours is mine too couold be the mantra of the Obama administration. Michael Barone explains in the Washington Examiner how Obama is employing Chicago mob tactics in expropriating property:

Think carefully about what’s happening here. The White House, presumably car czar Steven Rattner and deputy Ron Bloom, is seeking to transfer the property of one group of people to another group that is politically favored. In the process, it is setting aside basic property rights in favor of rewarding the United Auto Workers for the support the union has given the Democratic Party. The only possible limit on the White House’s power is the bankruptcy judge, who might not go along.


A must-read.
