thanks to richard mourdock for standing up for what is right ,fair and legal we need many more to do the same. Today we have so many politicians that walk in lock step with the special interest and could give a hoot about the average citizen. contributions and the next election are thier greatest concern. president obama feels our economic situation allows him to change the bankrupcy laws . we are headed in the wrong direction in this country simply we elected a president who really feels he has the knowledg and expierence to be all knowing. i think not

Uh . . . Hello! Mourdock has been treasurer since February 2007, so he is responsible for approving the investment of pension funds into the Chrysler LLC bonds. Its called fiduciary responsibility. In 2007 Daimler-Chrysler was purchased by Chrysler LLC because Daimler wanted out of the unprofitable company with monstrous legacy costs.

But wait, the Urinal Gazette said the Treasure is all wrong!
The press will go to any lengths to protect this dip wad that we have as President. Secured bonds are just that, secured with the assets of the business, they get there money right after the unpaid wages, that is why so many pension funds are required to invest in them. The Obama administration just tossed all that out the window by bulling the Banks they bailed out, who had secured bonds in Chrysler, to take 29 cents on the dollar thus screwing the rest of the bond holders. This man and his team of change is wrecking the whole financial system; Urinal Gazette, do you home work before you write such an asinine response. Go get them Treasure Mourdock, finally a elected official with moral fiber to call it as it is.
