Investigators for the House Committee on Government Oversight and Reform are asking the White House official who oversaw the government bailouts of General Motors and Chrysler whether he told the truth in recent testimony before the committee. Ron Bloom, Assistant to the President for Manufacturing Policy, is quoted in a 2009 newspaper account and a 2010 book saying of the auto bailouts that he "did this all for the unions." But when Bloom appeared before the committee on June 22, he flatly denied ever saying those words. Other White House officials have reportedly defended Bloom by suggesting that he did indeed say those words but was joking. And that has led committee chairman Rep. Darrell Issa to ask what is going on. More at the Washington Examiner: http://washingtonexaminer.com/blogs...lout-chief-say-i-did-all-unions#ixzz1RXLMleeF
Politicians should know by now that the media has no sense of humor. You can't be sarcastic because anything they say can and will be twisted to fit somebody's agenda.
