Kucinich compares Obama's auto rescue to smothering a hospital patient with a pillow



Obama auto bailout draws fire Dozens of lawmakers fear impact on dealers, workers, lenders




Gordon Trowbridge and Deb Price / Detroit News Washington Bureau

The complaints came from the political left and the right in a series of indignant press conferences and letters to administration officials: Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, one of Congress's most liberal members, compared the Obama's auto rescue to smothering a hospital patient with a pillow.

And Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas, a staunch conservative, wrote Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner accusing the administration of waging "a war on capital" in seeking concessions from lenders.
