Obama, who ran in 2008 ostensibly with promises to change DC and unite American citizenry has done anything but. Cronyism has lived large in an administration that has funneled taxpayer money into Obama-connected hands while continuing to nudge America down the road to a Euro-socialist, diminished nation.

Punishing dissenters is one part, rewarding the backers is another. During the GM bailout, UAW members didn’t skip a beat in maintaining their pensions and healthcare benefits while 20,000 non-union Delphi workers were kicked to the curb, losing all their healthcare benefits and slashing their pensions, some up to 70%.

And now, contrary to sworn testimony, the Obama administration directly drove this strategy.

Emails obtained by The Daily Caller show that the U.S. Treasury Department, led by Timothy Geithner, was the driving force behind terminating the pensions of 20,000 salaried retirees at the Delphi auto parts manufacturing company.

The move, made in 2009 while the Obama administration implemented its auto bailout plan, appears to have been made solely because those retirees were not members of labor unions.

The internal government emails contradict sworn testimony, in federal court and before Congress, given by several Obama administration figures. They also indicate that the administration misled lawmakers and the courts about the sequence of events surrounding the termination of those non-union pensions, and that administration figures violated federal law.

Obama surrogates are doing their Alinsky-best in their politics of personal destruction to manufacture Romney scandals were none exist; the latest an especially egregious ad that somehow Romney killed a man’s wife.

The warped Priorities USA ad features the claims of one Joe Soptic, a former employee at the Kansas City-based GST Steel plant. The plant went bankrupt years after Bain Capital acquired it. Soptic blames Romney for the loss of his job and health insurance — and for the subsequent death of his wife a “short time after” the plant’s closure.

But Romney stopped working for Bain in 1999. The plant closed in 2001. And Soptic’s wife died in 2006. Oh, and Soptic admitted to CNN on Tuesday afternoon that the family in fact had health insurance at the time of Soptic’s wife’s death. But it’s still all-powerful, time-traveling, omnipresent Darth Romney’s fault.

We already witnessed the Obama’s administration’s complete disregard of bondholders and these emails bring to light, yet again, how much this administration defines legitimate Americans — as Obama supporters and cronies

Tom Rose of Ohio added: “I am one of the 20,000 salaried retirees that lost all of my health care and — in my case — a 40 percent pension cut. So I am now paying increased health care costs with fewer pension dollars and contributing what is left to our lawsuit to correct this injustice. Meanwhile, the politically connected union has their full pension and 90-plus percent of their health care. You have hit upon the key question: How can our own federal government pick winners and losers amongst its own citizens?”

Indeed.
