The Obama administration's outrageous Toyota fearmongering

Barack Obama's administration continues its disgusting war on Toyota. Last week the auto giant recalled millions of cars after being pressured by Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood. The excuse was that too many complaints had been filed about Toyotas suddenly accelerating and crashing. Of course, there had also been complaints about government-owned GM and Chrysler cars, but strangely enough only Toyota was singled out.
Today, LaHood went a step further, urging drivers of affected Toyota models to return their cars to their dealership. Yes, during the worst recession since the Great Depression, a presidential administration actually asked people to send back their cars...even though the vast majority of Toyotas run wonderfully. Predictably, Toyota's stock plummeted.
Previously, Toyota had been the most successful competitor against GM and Chrysler. Its workforce also wasn't unionized, the Original Sin in the minds of liberals. Now Toyota's business has taken a severe hit and its executives are taking orders from the government. Welcome to Barack Obama's America.
