Democrats not industry friendly? Who knew?

Toyota: Dems 'not industry friendly'

Internal Toyota documents derided the Obama administration and Democratic Congress as “activist” and “not industry friendly," a revelation that comes days before the giant automaker's top executives testify on Capitol Hill amid a giant recall.

According to a presentation obtained under subpoena by the House Oversight and Government Relations committee, Toyota referred to the “changing political environment” as one of its main challenges and anticipated a "more challenging regulatory" environment under the Obama administration's purview.

And do you know why this administration is unfriendly to foreign-owned automakers in particular? Union paybacks come to mind, as does the inherent dislike our current crop of Democrats have for the Capitalist system, the one that will reward the manufacturer who prices a good product competitively. Toyota slipped up in quality; now the wolves who hate their competitive edge are circling.

At least Toyota has identified their enemies. Now, if only they can get their problems corrected and earn back the trust of their customers...oh, let me mention that their pickups are not subject to any recall. And still the best trucks on the road AFAIC.
