    I read both and besides saying that Obama was involved and mentioning the dispersal to creditors, you haven't shown one ounce of evidence that says if obama wasn't involved, that this dealership would still get to keep his franchise. It's just as likely that if Obama didn't get involved that none of the current dealerships would have been allowed to keep their franchises. For all we know, he was the one pushing for some of them to be kept. I still don't see how any of what was mentioned in the article has to do with this dealership and his problems. What he is dealing with is the results of a free market situation. What the debtors that loaned money to chrysler while it was failing are going to receive is a completely different situation. That is a perfect example of government budding into private business, but there isn't any evidence that it is to the detriment of anyone except creditors yet.

    When you sell new vehicles you cannot diversify.

    Look into Covert here in Texas. They have been around since 1909 and are still a small family owned business.

    I am pretty sure they know how to diversify

    I never said that Obama personally dictated that this dealership would be saved. I am simply showing how deeply Obama is involved and that Obama's version of bankrputcy hurts everyone but the UAW. Bond holders and private businesses are to blame, but the UAW is going to save Chrysler?

    I saw links for several different dealerships. That has nothing to do with diversity as none of those dealerships are diversified and are all separate entities. If they owned a Dodge dealership they are just as likely that they would be screwed alongside the guy in Florida.
