Heh: Gibson CEO Will Attend Obama's speech tonight: Says Federal Raid Will Cost Company $10 Million

That soft tyranny we live in via over-regulation? It's coalescing under Obama into a hard one: Feds Raid Gibson Guitars looking for Illegal Wood. It turned out later that the raid was likely due to Gibson not funding Obama in 2008. A classic shakedown. Note the update here via Instapundit:

MORE ON THE GIBSON RAID: “Why would the government use armed agents to attack one of the few major manufacturers of anything remaining in the United States?” It’s like they don’t want to see the economy recover or something.

UPDATE: What a coincidence! CEO of Gibson Guitar a Republican Donor. And their Democratic-donating competitor, Martin, uses the same wood but wasn’t raided. Well, when you’ve got a President who jokes about tax audits as revenge for a personal slight, it’s hard not to be suspicious, isn’t it?

That very same CEO will be in the audience tonight. From Gateway Pundit via memeorandum: GIBSON CEO WILL ATTEND OBAMA'S JOB SPEECH: Says Federal Raid Will Cost Company $10 Million

Gibson CEO Henry Juszkiewicz told reporters today that the federal raid on the popular American guitar maker will cost the company $10,000,000. Juszkiewicz also said that he will attend Obama’s big spending jobs speech tomorrow in Washington DC.
