Tennessee Senator Bob Corker Files Alternative Auto Bailout Plan

Bet me a dollar that'll be "President Corker" sooner than later!

On Thursday June 18 th Sen. Bob Corker blew off his meeting with Sonia Sotomayor last week. Hobbling along with her leg in a cast, she was 10 minutes late and he said he didn’t feel like waiting. “I decided to proceed on to the next meeting,” he told a Tennessee Press Association breakfast in Chattanooga. A meeting with a Supreme Court nominee is not near as important as the breakfast with the great people of Chattanooga.

Dear Senator,
My wife & I appreciate the fine work you are doing for us in the Senate.
Please continue to work to defeat the Stimilus bill
now in Congress. At least, cut the "PORK" so my wife and grandkids won't be in debt all their lives.
We need jobs not welfare.
Thanks,

CORKER PRETENDS TO WANT TO SAVE THE DOMESTIC AUTO INDUSTRY. THE DEMISE OF AMERICAN MANUFACTURING IS NOT A RECENT OCCURENCE. IT IS A CULMINATION OF THE LAST TWENTY EIGHT YEARS OF OUR GOVERNING ADMINISTRATION. UNFORTUNATELY THE PEOPLE OF THIS GREATER THAT IT IS NOW NATION CONTINUES TO ELECT CARPETBAGGING SCALAWAGS TO PUBLIC OFFICE. HOPEFULLY THIS NEW ADMINISTRATION WILL BE DIFFERENT. FOR TWENTY EIGHT YEARS OUR GOVERNING ADMINISTRATION HAVE ENCOURAGED MANUFACTURING FACILITIES TO LEAVE THIS NATION BY PASSING LEGISLATION PAID FOR BY CORPORATE LOBBYIST THAT ALLOW THEM FREE INCOME TAX. RECONSTRUCTION ERA IS ALIVE IN THE NORTH AS WELL AS THE SOUTH. PLEASE VOTE THESE CARPETBAGGING SCALAWAGS OUT OF OFFICE.

WHY DONT WE ALL WORK FOR WAL MART & AGREE TO WORK FOR CAR MANUFACTURERS FOR $7.50 AN HOUR. THEN LETS SEE WHO CAN AFFORD TO BUY THE PRODUCTS BECAUSE IF YOU THINK THE AUTO COMPANIES WILL GIVE THE BUYING PUBLIC A GREAT DISCOUNT BECAUSE OF CHEAP WAGES, YOU ARE CRAZY! BETTER YET. LET EVERY STATE ALLOW FOREIGN AUTO MAKERS & COMMUNIST COUNTRY AUTOMAKERS AWESOME TAX BREAKS & ALLOW THEM TO HELP DRIVE DOWN THE AMERICAN WORKING CLASS SUCH AS MR. CORKERS STATE! THERE ARE NO FREE TRADE AGREEMENTS CONCERNING THE UNITED STATES. ONLY UNFAIR AGREEMENTS EXIST! GREAT JOB BUSH! 9 FREE TRADE AGREEMENTS WHEN HE WENT INTO OFFICE & NOW 15 OR SO! NOW HE WANTS TO SHOVE ONE THROUGH WITH COLUMBIA BEFORE MR. OBAMA GETS SWORN IN! MOVE TO TENNESSEE G.W. YOUR FRIENDS ARE THERE!

MY FAMILY & MYSELF, ALL FROM THE GREAT LAKE STATE OF MEE CHEE GAN, & HARD WORKING UNITED AUTO WORKERS, SPEND QUITE AN AMOUNT OF TIME IN THE SUMMER GOLFING AROUND THE EAST SIDE OF TENNESSEE. WE ALSO OWN GOLF PROPERTIES THERE. AT THIS TIME WE ARE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER STATE THAT WOULD LIKE TO APRECIATE US SPENDING OUR UAW DOLLARS & BOYCOTT MR. 'DORK-ER'S' STATE OF TENNESSEE! WERE JUST HARD WORKING MIDDLE CLASSED AMERICANS THAT WONT PUT UP WITH NOR INDORSE AN ELECTED OFFICIALS THOUGHTS SUCH AS HIS! TENNESSEE,...YOU CAN HAVE THAT LOSER!

who paid for this dirt bag's trip to detroit,sure hope it wasn't mich. taxpayers

I would just like to find out if this clown flew commercial to the auto show. Last time I checked the financial situation of the US government isn't exactly a model of perfection. Holier than thou clown. To be part of the problem (government that has hung the middle class out to dry with free trade) and look down his nose........laughable. Ever heard of equal tariffs? How about common sense that dictates free trade with unequal economies (Mexico, China....) hurts BOTH countries. Wow. Who hired this guy.

Who backs Corker's Campaigns? I would bet the UAW will back anyone but him. The UAW just wants a fair wage for a fair days work. While the CEO's are taking half a million dollar bonuses. But it is all the fault of the UAW. Cause they should be willing to work for less than a dollar a day. So as to asure that the CEO's get bigger bonuses. And continue to design auto that the people world world wide want and can't afford to buy. I do believe that is pretty close to Bob Corker's point of view.

Bob Corker has an ear for the poor ole pityful CEO's.

I sure hope we never find ourselves in another World War! I wonder if Volkswagen, Toyota, Honda etc will be our fighter planes, tanks etc. for us?

Senator Corker, did the wrong thing to DEMAND a specific date for the autoworkers to make consessions. The workers did not mismanage these companies, the executives did, the workers did not make the decision to keep making autos that did not sell good, the workers were not fying around the country on corporate jets, the workers are not getting millions in unrealistic bonuses, all the workers did was work hard to make a living for their families. It is unfair that the workers must give up substantial benifits for their families. Corker does not have to worry about things like Christmas, birthdays, college, medical bills. The only thing I can conclude from the actions of Corker is that he is trying to bust the UAW. Don't punish innocent workers for managements BAD decisions. Corker has no business being in the position he holds on any committees by trying to bring down innocent workers and effecting their families. He should be ASHAMED!!!!

I was very disappointed that Senator Corker's plan got bogged down due to the UAW's unwillingness to bring their wages into line with the foreign car companies domestic factory wages. I thought his plan to have wealthy investors (bond holders) only receive 30 cents on the dollar and his thoughts on handling GMs benefits costs were brilliant. The pain was shared and necessary to make our auto companies competitive. What sense does it make to argue that a company that is losing money can afford to pay uncompetitive salaries? I am ashamed of our President and am disappointed that the UAW is so disconnected from reality.

Bob Corker's answer from the UAW to his three words asking for "a date certain" for the UAW to give up anything is "NEVER" . Bob Corker did the right thing.

Enough said!
