Gecko's Bailout Bonanza


the Obama campaign launched television ads blasting Romney’s November 2008 New York Times op-ed, “Let Detroit Go Bankrupt.” But Romney has done a good job of concealing, until now, the fact that he and his wife, Ann, personally gained at least $15.3 million from the bailout—and a few of Romney’s most important Wall Street donors made more than $4 billion. Their gains, and the Romneys’, were astronomical—more than 3,000 percent on their investment.

in addition to making massive loans to automakers in 2009, the federal government sent, directly or indirectly, more than $12.9 billion to Delphi—and to the hedge funds that had gained control over it.
One of the hedge funds profiting from that bailout—
$1.28 billion so far—is Elliott Management, directed by 
Paul Singer. According to The Wall Street Journal, Singer has given more to support GOP candidates—$2.3 million—than anyone else on Wall Street this election season.

Singer, whom Fortune magazine calls a “passionate defender of the 1%,” has carved out a specialty investing in distressed firms and distressed nations, which he does by buying up their debt for pennies on the dollar and then demanding payment in full. This so-called “vulture investor” received $58 million on Peruvian debt that he snapped up for $11.4 million, and $90 million on Congolese debt that he bought for a mere $20 million. In the process, he’s built one of the largest private equity firms in the nation, and over decades he’s racked up an unusually high average return on investments of 14 percent.

Romney has slammed the bailout as a payoff to the auto workers union. But that certainly wasn’t true for the bailout of Delphi. Once the hedge funders, including Singer—a deep-pocketed right-wing donor and activist who serves as chair of the conservative, anti-union Manhattan Institute—took control of the firm, they rid Delphi of every single one of its 25,200 unionized workers.

This means that with an investment of at least $1 million, their smallest possible gain (for Romneys) when Delphi went public would have been $10.2 million, plus another $10.2 million for each million handed to Singer—all gains made possible by the auto bailout.

Delphi’s stock has roared upward, boosting the Romneys’ Delphi windfall from $10.2 million to $15.3 million for each million they invested with Singer.

Republican Harry Wilson Says Romney Auto Bailout Claim Is ‘Simply Not True’ If there’s one man in America who can credibly destroy Mitt Romney’s last-minute transmutation (http://2012.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/10/romney-ohio-auto-industry-obama.php?ref=fpb) on the auto bailout, it’s Harry Wilson. In fact, the 2010 Republican candidate for New York state comptroller already has—but nobody noticed.

In addition to being one of New York’s top Republicans, Wilson was senior adviser to President Obama’s Task Force on the Auto Industry. An expert witness in a recent unrelated bankruptcy case, Wilson said that his “specific role” on Obama’s task force was “to lead the restructuring of General Motors, which remains the largest successful industrial restructuring ever completed.” Wilson is not only backing Romney for president, he is the finance chair for Republican Matt Doheny in one of the state’s hottest congressional races. Wilson was recruited to run for the US Senate this year by party leaders and is poised to run for comptroller again in 2014.

Wilson appeared on October 23 (http://www.bloomberg.com/video/romney-obama-spar-over-auto-bailout-VPZLMdngTH2UXXG3CXtTjA.html) on Bloomberg News’ “In the Loop” and was asked by host Betty Liu about Romney’s claims in the last debate that he’d supported a form of federal assistance to GM and Chrysler, namely “post bankruptcy” government guarantees to private lenders. Liu tried to soften the case against Romney in her question to Wilson, asserting that both Romney and Obama “were essentially right” in their bailout comments, but Wilson would have none of it.
“I’m, as you know, a Republican who supports the Governor. But I think on this issue, I think he’s really mishandled it,” said Wilson.

A startled Liu: “Romney has mishandled it?”

“Yes,” continued Wilson. “He came out both in 2008 and earlier in 2012, in a piece in one of the Detroit newspapers, and said he wouldn’t have supported any government capital because private capital was available. That’s simply not true. The President said that last night.”

Liu interjected that the unavailability of private money was backed up by a Congressional Budget Office report.
“Absolutely,” added Wilson. “We tried everything we could to find private money. I personally would have dramatically preferred private money. It just wasn’t available because of the crisis we were in. And the greatest thing about this point is that it is the easiest thing in the world to prove or disprove. All you need is one person to come forward and say, ‘Oh, I would have provided private capital, and here’s an example of where I said that in 2009.’ And no one has said that in three years, cause it’s just not true.”

Yeah, I know. Alot of us old timers still think of Jeep and AMC tho.

Romney was responding to the initial press release from Fiat which was a pretty shitty press release.

"Fiat SpA (F), majority owner of Chrysler Group LLC, plans to return Jeep output to China and may eventually make all of its models in that country, according to the head of both automakers’ operations in the region."

Later from Fiat: "Let’s set the record straight: Jeep has no intention of shifting production of its Jeep models out of North America to China. It’s simply reviewing the opportunities to return Jeep output to China for the world’s largest auto market. U.S. Jeep assembly lines will continue to stay in operation."

There was quite a bit of excitement around the original, poorly worded statement. Romney wasn't the only one who was fooled by it as a couple of industry insiders that I have personal relationships with were pulled in by it too.

“Ads that mislead or stretch the truth are nothing new for presidential campaigns,” Business Insider’s Grace Wyler explained (http://www.businessinsider.com/romney-lies-auto-chrysler-jobs-2012-10). “But this ad — and Romney’s comments last week — has prompted harsh criticism from the media, likely because it strikes reporters as not only disingenuous, but irresponsible. For Romney to suggest that the livelihoods of specific voters — namely workers at the Jeep plant in Toledo — are in danger in order to win an election comes across to many as the type of fear-mongering that no one wants in a president. ”

“And now, after Romney’s false claim of Jeep outsourcing to China, Chrysler itself has refuted Romney’s lie.”

As Beghazi strikes out as Swift-boating of Barry (polls show trust in his fo/po jumped from 4% to 8%! :lol ), Fox and Repugs ramp up the GM/Chrysler bailout as the next swift-boat tool.

Six Romney Supporters Who Undermine His Claims About The Auto Bailout (http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2012/10/30/1109471/six-romney-supporters-who-contradict-his-claims-about-the-auto-bailout/)


1. Michigan Rep. Fred Upton: In February, Upton told Western Michigan University’s WMUK radio that only the government could have saved the auto industry. “There was no one that was willing to come up not only with the cash to keep them afloat but also to serve the warranties of everyone, you and I that drive all these cars,” Upton said. “There was no one that could have picked up those pieces other than the federal government (http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2012/02/21/429279/romney-endorser-corrects-him-on-auto-rescue-no-one-could-have-saved-the-industry-except-the-government/).” He also contradicted Romney’s claim that the rescue was a bailout of auto unions, saying it was “bi-partisan from the get-go.” Without the bailout, Upton said, Michigan “would have hit 40 percent unemployment rates.”

2. Michigan Rep. Thad McCotter: “There was no choice” but to use government funds to save the auto industry, McCotter told MSNBC in February. “So to my fellow Republicans I’ll simply remind them, if you were in Congress at the point in time or if you were President Bush, you could leave all $700 billion of taxpayers hard-earned money with the Wall Street people, or you could take some back to Main Street to keep America a balanced, vibrant economy,” McCotter said. “To me there was no choice (http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2012/02/29/434991/mccotter-romney-auto-rescue-no-choice/).”

3. Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder: In November 2011, Snyder urged Republicans to stop second-guessing the auto rescue, even if they disagreed with how it was done, because it had delivered incredible results for Michigan and the auto industry. “I would have had some differences on how they did it, but I’m not going to second-guess it,” Snyder told the New York Times. “The more important thing is the results. And the auto industry is doing very well today (http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2012/02/16/426645/snyder-romney-auto-rescue/).”

4. Auto Industry Task Force member Harry Wilson: Wilson, a member of Obama’s Auto Industry Task Force who has run for office as a Republican in New York, criticized Romney’s view of the bailout last week. “I’m, as you know, a Republican who supports the governor. But I think on this issue, I think he’s really mishandled it (http://www.thenation.com/article/170887/republican-harry-wilson-says-romneys-auto-bailout-claim-simply-not-true#),” Wilson told Bloomberg. “He came out both in 2008 and earlier in 2012, in a piece in one of the Detroit newspapers, and said he wouldn’t have supported any government capital because private capital was available. That’s simply not true.”

5. The Detroit News editorial board: A self-described “conservative newspaper,” the Detroit News endorsed Romney for president last week. But in its endorsement editorial, the paper blasted Romney for his “wrong-headedness on the auto bailout.” Romney “was wrong in suggesting the automakers could have found operating capital in the private markets,” the editors wrote. “Romney suggested government-backed loans to keep the companies afloat post bankruptcy. But what GM and Chrysler needed were bridge loans to get them through the process, and the private credit markets were unwilling to provide them (http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20121025/OPINION01/210250332#ixzz2AJbzwUQe).”

6. Ex-Chrysler CEO Lee Iaccoca: Iaccoca has endorsed Romney, but he also has praised the auto bailout for its rescue of the industry. “Two years ago, it looked like Detroit and Michigan and the car business was in the toilet,” Iacocca told the Detroit News this month. But after the bailout, he said, “things have turned out pretty well.” And even if Iaccoca has criticisms of pieces of the bailout, the paper said he “praised the government actions (http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20121018/POLITICS01/210180513/1148/rss25) over the past two years that gave two of Detroit’s Big Three automakers another chance.”

Mitt Romney misleads in Ohio auto bailout ad


"Who will do more to support the auto industry? Not Barack Obama (http://www.csmonitor.com/tags/topic/Barack+Obama)," a male narrator says, adding, "Mitt Romney has a plan to help the auto industry." The ad then shows video of Lee Iacocca (http://www.csmonitor.com/tags/topic/Lee+Iacocca), noting Romney had been endorsed by the longtime auto executive.


The ad then cuts to images of old cars being crushed. "Obama took GM and Chrysler (http://www.csmonitor.com/tags/topic/Chrysler+LLC) into bankruptcy and sold Chrysler to Italians who are going to build jeeps in China (http://www.csmonitor.com/tags/topic/China)," the narrator says. "Mitt Romney will fight for every American job."
ANALYSIS: This ad, airing in Ohio (http://www.csmonitor.com/tags/topic/Ohio), a major battleground state, in the campaign's final days, is an effort by the Romney campaign to turn Obama's decision to bail out General Motors (http://www.csmonitor.com/tags/topic/General+Motors+Corporation) and Chrysler against the president.
Romney's opposition to the bailout has bedeviled him in Ohio, where thousands of auto industry jobs were saved by the federal intervention. Polls show Romney consistently trailing Obama in Ohio, and a loss there would make it extremely difficult for the Republican hopeful to assemble the 270 electoral votes needed for victory.

The ad, while technically accurate in its claims, is misleading.

Its assertion that Obama took GM and Chrysler through bankruptcy is true. But the ad fails to mention the billions in government loans he extended to the two companies that allowed them to come out of bankruptcy and reorganize. Both companies are now profitable.

Romney also pressed for GM and Chrysler to go bankrupt, which he does not mention in this ad. He also wrote in a widely publicized New York Times (http://www.csmonitor.com/tags/topic/The+New+York+Times+Company) column that if the companies received a government bailout, "You can kiss the American automotive industry goodbye."

It's true that Chrysler is now largely owned by Fiat (http://www.csmonitor.com/tags/topic/Fiat+SpA), an Italian auto company that purchased a large stake in Chrysler when it was going through its bankruptcy reorganization. Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne (http://www.csmonitor.com/tags/topic/Sergio+Marchionne) gave Chrysler management expertise and technology that has helped the company make a comeback.

It's also true that Chrysler is looking to produce some of its Jeep product line in China. But the company's plans do not threaten Jeep production in the United States (http://www.csmonitor.com/tags/topic/United+States), as the ad seems to suggest.

The ad is more carefully worded that Romney's claim in Ohio last week that "one of the great manufacturers in this state, Jeep, now owned by the Italians, is thinking of moving all production to China." Democrats cried foul, and Chrysler quickly released a statement saying it had "no intention" of shifting production from the U.S. to China. A company spokesman said Chrysler would build new plants in China to satisfy demand in Asia (http://www.csmonitor.com/tags/topic/Asia) and elsewhere but that "U.S. Jeep assembly lines will continue to stay in operation."

UAW Files Charges Against Romney for Auto Bail-Out Profiteering


For Mitt Romney, it's one scary Halloween. The Presidential candidate has just learned that tomorrow afternoon (http://www.gregpalast.com/advisory-uaw-files-ethics-charge-on-romney-auto-bail-out-profiteering/) he will charged with violating the federal Ethics in Government law by improperly concealing his multi-million dollar windfall from the auto industry bail-out.

At a press conference in Toledo, Bob King, President of the United Automobile Workers, will announce that his union and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) have filed a formal complaint with the US Office of Government Ethics in Washington stating that Gov. Romney improperly hid a profit of $15.3 million to $115.0 million in Ann Romney's so-called "blind" trust.

The union chief says, "The American people have a right to know about Gov. Romney’s potential conflicts of interest, such as the profits his family made from the auto rescue,” “It’s time for Gov. Romney to disclose or divest.”

“While Romney was opposing the rescue of one of the nation’s most important manufacturing sectors, he was building his fortunes with his Delphi investor group, making his fortunes off the misfortunes of others,” King added.

The Romneys' gigantic windfall was hidden inside an offshore corporation inside a Limited Partnership inside a trust which both concealed the gain and reduces taxes on it.

The Romneys' windfall was originally exposed in Nation Magazine, Mitt Romney's Bail-out Bonanza (http://www.gregpalast.com/mitt-romneys-bailout-bonanza/) after a worldwide investigation by our crew at The Guardian, the Nation Institute and the Palast Investigative Fund. [Ed. - The full story of Romney and his "vulture fund" partners is in Palast's New York Times bestseller, Billionaires & Ballot Bandits (http://www.ballotbandits.org/).]

According to ethics law expert Dr. Craig Holman of Public Citizen, who advised on the complaint, Ann Romney does not have a federally-approved blind trust. An approved "blind" trust may not be used to hide a major investment which could be affected by Romney if he were to be elected President. Other groups joining the UAW and CREW include Public Citizen, the Service Employees International Union, Public Campaign, People for the American Way and The Social Equity Group.

President Obama's approved trust, for example, contains only highly-diversified mutual funds on which Presidential action can have little effect. By contrast, the auto bail-out provided a windfall of over 4,000% on one single Romney investment.

In 2009, Ann Romney partnered with her husband's key donor, billionaire Paul Singer, who secretly bought a controlling interest in Delphi Auto, the former GM auto parts division. Singer's hedge fund, Elliott Management, threatened to cut off GM's supply of steering columns unless GM and the government's TARP auto bail-out fund provided Delphi with huge payments. While the US treasury complained this was "extortion," the hedge funds received, ultimately, $12.9 billion in taxpayer subsidies.

As a result, the shares Singer and Romney bought for just 67 cents are today worth over $30, a 4,000% gain. Singer's hedge fund made a profit of $1.27 billion and the Romney's tens of millions.

The UAW complaint calls for Romney to reveal exactly how much he made off Delphi - and continues to make. The Singer syndicate, once in control of Delphi, eliminated every single UAW job - 25,000 - and moved almost all auto parts production to Mexico and China where Delphi now employs 25,000 auto parts workers.

Of course, Bishop Gecko didn't declare his conflict of interest from profiting from govt business.
