The number of creditors objecting to the Chrysler-Fiat-Treasury plan appears to be dwindling, if a motion filed today by the “Attorneys for the Chrysler Non-TARP Lenders” (Thomas Lauria, who claimed death threats as the sole named attorney) is any evidence.

In their rush to send out key details of Obama’s auto plan, many journalists ignored important information. This is the full text; other documents are available from the White House.

Head of the Fed Ben Bernanke flatly ruled out a government takeover of major banks, such as Citigroup, that would wipe out stockholders. Rhetoric is rather different when talking about banks vs. automakers. When they mention GM and Ford, they say the stockholders deserve nothing because they were asleep at the switch.
