To me, the TARP is more of an oligarchy issue than an Obama issue. The initiator of the coercion was Bush's secretary Henry Paulson, not Obama.
TARP is despicable. Progressive experts have decried it all over as a transfer of wealth from taxpayers to the holders of those assets.

There isn't much at all to say here without further information. It sounds like in the attorney's opinion, her clients (who aren't really identified) believe they have first lien position on assets of Chrysler, and may not actually get paid out in accordance with their first lien position. That is almost useless information without further facts.
Whether or not they have a lien, and whether or not it really is in first position, is almost always debatable. What type of assets do they have a lien on? Intangibles? Equipment? Something else? All assets? Was their lien perfected? Did someone else have a statutory lien which bumps their lien? Does someone else have possession (which typically trumps other types of liens, depending on the class of asset)?
Did the document creating the lien (if there is one) provide for an exception in certain circumstances? Did it permit all loan documents (assuming there are any) to be amended under certain conditions?
There are so many relevant questions and issues involved here that the article and her comments are virtually useless without more information.
It also isn't clear what is happening with the assets either, nor is it clear what the result would be for her clients in a different type of bankruptcy (which may be necessary if all the parties can't agree on certain resolutions).
Unless Venkman or Il Pad know the answers to the questions above, I am going to say they don't have a clue what they are talking about here.
