Henry Juszkiewicz, the CEO of Gibson Guitars, Inc. was on The Dana Loesch Show on Friday. Gibson is under attack by the the Obama Justice Department for accusations that the company broke American Indian laws.

Juszkiewiz said the government suggested that the company's use of unfinished wood from India is illegal, not because of U.S. law, but because of the Justice Department's interpretation of a law in India. The Holder Justice Department raided at least two Gibson manufacturing plants this week forcing hundreds of workers off their jobs. Juszkiewiz says the company lost a million dollars this week.

Finally, Henry Juszkiewicz told Dana, "The Obama Justice Department wants us to just shut our doors and go away." He says he will continue to fight for the Gibson company and its workers.

Juszkiewicz held a press conference yesterday in front of the Gibson headquarters.

The Obama Justice Department confiscated over $500,000 in materials back in 2009. Gibson is going to court on Monday to discuss a previous request for the government to return the property.

Eric Holder and his Merry Men strike again. Go gun-ho against American companies. Gibson's been around since 1890, and now the Obama Administration is busting their ass over their interpretation of an Indian law. They haven't put enough people out of work; start shutting down American Companies.

This whole situation sure puts on display the sheer insanity of our government, and more specifically, how Obama and his administration are about as helpful to our country as a bout of cancer. The importation of unfinished wood is made into a massive federal case not based on OUR laws, but some highly conflicting ones of another country! At the same time, they state that had the said wood been treated and finished by outside, foreign workers (as opposed to brought in and done by American workers), everything would have been hunky-dory! Our own government is here both encouraging overseas jobs over American jobs, and going all-out to harrass American small-business at the same time. Par for the course for Obama and Holder. Add to this the irony of going ballistic over the importation of a little batch of wood, while totally keeping a blind-eye towards the flood of millions and millions of illegal aliens entering this country.

Kind of makes his big jobs speech coming up even more of a waste of brain cells. All the people waiting to watch the big game should just turn the sound down while he's on and just head to the kitchen to fetch the Buds and nacho platters.


The Gibson CEO is also dedicated to being environmentally responsible, and he has long done this. Too bad Obama's goons can't take this into consideration, they like playing cowboys and Indians (no pun intended) with reputable companies who have been in business for well over a century. An American success story that has become iconic in music is shot to hell due to the DOJ Gestapo.
