You're completely missing the real outrage here. These dealerships were being closed in an effort to bring an automaker Washington essentially owns back to profitability. Lay-offs and shut downs are an inescapable part of any business restructuring. Now, in a craven political move, we're seeing them sustained on the government teat. Profit is what politicians covet, not what they know how to create. Certainly none more so than Obama.

The UAW gets a sweetheart bankruptcy deal, now the dealers have their hands back in our pockets.
