And yet Obama had the nerve to scold Republican yesterday for not “behaving in the best interest of the American people.”
(Byron York) — Ron Bloom, the top White House auto bailout official who has flatly denied accusations that he once said his work on the bailouts was “all for the unions,” now admits that he might, in fact, have said those words. Just a few weeks ago, in sworn testimony before the House Committee on Government Oversight and Reform, Bloom said denied four times that he said “I did this all for the unions” at a July 2009 party attended by most of the bailout team. But in a new letter to committee chairman Rep. Darrell Issa, Bloom writes that he does not recall making the comment, but “given the amount of time that has passed since the dinner in July 2009 and the fact that others may have a different recollection, I cannot say with absolute certainty that I did not make the alleged comment.”
