Wow…
Stuck with a cleanup due to Federal Bankruptcy Law???
Can this be true?
Can the States push the liability back to the Bankruptcy Courts, or the Federal Government? Were they represented in the proceedings?
This is another example of runaway trampling of States Rights as I see it, and as we the States created the Federal Government, I think we must do our best to reign it back in.

will become know as obamas LOVE CANAL. Let me see I believe it was Al Gore Dad acting as an attorney for Occidental Chemical tried getting Occidental Chemical off the hook for being RESPONSIBLE FOR CLEANUP OF LOVE CANAL(he lost in court). LOVE Canal was originally done by HOOKER CHEMICAL.
We can call this obamas-GM-HOOKER LOVE CANAL.

The single biggest problem with GM and Chrysler is the UAW.

If GM and Chrysler could pay people to do the work of making cars, instead of sleeping on the job or sitting around in “job banks”, maybe they would have enough leftover cash to do some of the “corporate responsibility” stuff.

Like, umm, Toyota? Mitsubishi? Hyundai?

Instead, we’re going to get this generations’ Love Canal, or (heh, another government eff-up) the leftovers at the Hanford Site in Washington State…

Nice.

Surely you jest.

Except for PETA saying he shouldn’t have swatted a fly, Obama has faced zero criticism from the eco-nuts that I have seen. Anyone else seen any?

Obama will distance himself from this – or ask for more “stimulus” dollars to clean it up. Funny how this is working out…..

AND if it ever did get cleaned uo then Obama will probably make them into parks and name them after himself…..

With a 50 ft. statue of course….

Cities in solid blue states – I wonder how they feel about the messiah now? Obama is leaving trails of destruction in his wake with no regard to the environment or the people affected….

I also wonder who loud the eco-nazis will yell???

As I understand it, you go up the chain to find the former owner who has the deepest pockets and stick them with the bill, even if they had nothing to do with the mess.

So in this case it must be we taxpayers who owned or own it and get to pay for the mess that Obama took over in our behalf. After all the US Govt has the deepest pockets of all the former owners, right?
