#1 It can't be a Chapter 11 bankruptcy -- what happens to the people, such as bondholders and other creditors, who ordinarily have some standing? Bondholders ordinarily get ownership in a new company. What happens here?

We're rapidly becoming a nation of men, not laws.

#2 Ummm, the phrasing "Will be placed into Bankruptcy" Indicates a forced bankruptcy by Obama Government Order. I see this as a very ominous thing.
Who's next on the forced bankruptcy list? certainly no Bailed out Banks (Who should be)

#3 Nonsense.

The article says the government is planning to put Chrysler into BK, not operate it by fiat, as opposed to by Fiat, which is ultimately likely. This seems to be proceeding in an orderly and legal, if unorthodox, fashion. If Bush had let Chrysler and GM go BK at the beginning, this problem would be resolved by now. Bernanke, Paulson and Bush will have a lot to answer for in the history books. As will Bambi. But not for this as it seems to be playing out OK.

Who's next is whoever borrows money from the government and can't repay it. Let the lesson be learned that when they say I've money from the government and I'm here to help, they speak with forked tongue. Again, something Bush, Paulson and Bernanke did that Barry is taking advantage of.

The bankers would be next if they had the nads to stand up to the government, but they've gone supine.

#4 So the UAW will come to own 55% of Chrysler after all this clears. This seems neither orderly nor legal.

#5 So will a Fiat Chrysler auto/truck then rust to nothing in 1 year like Fiat's do?

#7 It's orderly and legal if all parties sign off. Every BK resolution involves sombebody getting crammed down. The parties get to decide if it's done acceptably. If the UAW thinks it will be better off iwth 55% of Chrysler, more power to it. And Fiat.

#8 Still no word on how they plan to cut expenses and survive on their own. Instead it looks like Obama plans to create a whole class of corporate welfare mommas w/ taxpayers getting the shaft.
