Why is 0baama WITHHOLDING test reports that favor Toyota in the accelerator fiasco?

DETROIT—Senior officials at the U.S. Department of Transportation have at least temporarily blocked the release of findings by auto-safety regulators that could favor Toyota Motor Corp. in some crashes related to unintended acceleration, according to a recently retired agency official.

George Person, who retired July 3 after 27 years at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, said in an interview that the decision to not go public with the data for now was made over the objections of some officials at NHTSA.

"The information was compiled. The report was finished and submitted," Mr. Person said. "When I asked why it hadn't been published, I was told that the secretary's office didn't want to release it," he added, referring to Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood.

    He wants Government Motors to succeed. They don't care about Toyota and want it to fail.

    I will NEVER buy an American made car. They build crap! Do the math -- 100K miles for a Ford and it's dead or over 313K miles for a Toyota!

    Source(s): Obama is not my fault! Loyal Toyota owner!

    One individual's view versus what the NHTSA is saying does not constitute a valid basis for your absurd attack on the Obama administration.

    From the article: "A Transportation Department spokeswoman, Olivia Alair, said NHTSA is still reviewing data from the Toyota vehicles the agency is examining. 'Its review is not yet complete. The investigation remains ongoing,' she said."

    It is this kind of unfounded attack on the Obama administration that makes your side look vicious, hate-filled and lacking in credibility.

    Of course they don't want to release any info that would help their competition. I think it is criminal or at least very unethical.
