Mitt Romney: 'I'll Take A Lot Of Credit' For Auto Industry Recovery

Not only did he say Let Detroit go Bankrupt, he spent time and energy explaining his position in detail. He was totally and completely AGAINST loans to the auto industry.

Now that it has been proven that his position was in total error, he seeks to STEAL the results as his own. But, I'll bet dollars to doughnut holes that he would not have shared the blame if it had gone wrong.

He is a soul-less liar who will take any position he thinks will gain him positive advertising, whether he deserves it or not.

Pardon me while I go barf up my dinner...... he makes me sick.

I had no idea that Mitt was the founder.......

God, what have the people of this nation come to?? The stupidity is truly frightening.

This guy is just amazing.

Come on, DU, make this meme blossom...

looking for a way to get paid for work he didn't do. One of Ayn Rand's 'moochers'.

This is undoubtedly a lie of the biggest proportion. And he is not ashamed of it at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does he not realize we have this thing called the Internet? And YouTube? And Google? That it takes all of 10 seconds to prove his lies wrong?

The guy is a fucking idiot if he thinks people don't know how he became a billionaire.

They argued it would be waste of billions of taxpayer money since it wouldnt work anyway. The derided the President for his decision to do it calling GM "Government Motors" and "Obama Motors". Its pathetic these assholes now want to take credit for the Presidents gutsy decision.

When there is a serial killer or a child rapist on the loose, one loathes those people just as much until they are caught and brought to justice.

Romney is a serial corporate rapist.

I have seen many candidates come and go ~ I'd put GW over this evil man.

He elaborated, stating that: "I made damn sure the Pilate washed hands and sealed his fate".


There isn't a damn thing he won't say to pander for votes. What a sleaze.

Some banner under which people can mock Romney's outrageous capabilities to lie and say anything.

===================

Won't you guess my name?

And the fact that you wrote an article saying those companies could go bankrupt, would have put 6 MILLION more people out of work within months!!

Remember, Obama is a sochulist, muslim, kenyan!.. And that's the trooof!

While Romney tells lies....

It's the M$M that makes them "true."

He won't let the past define him. He is the worst kind of opportunist - one with no boundaries.

he also drafted the Declaration Of Independence. He also has the power to levitate.

And why not? He's watched as voters have voted against their own self interest by electing Rs for decades. Apparently, people will believe anything you say as long as you're an R, so why not make the lies a brazen as needs must to fit the situation?

By Wednesday, this will have become a meme in the RWNM, another example of a Rovian attack against a candidate's strength. In this case, Obama's strength in bailing out the auto industry with taxpayer-funded loans. The Rove strategy is to sow confusion into the minds of the voters so a false equivalency is reached between Obama and Romney, thereby neutralizing a talking point for Obama.

"Obama saved the auto industry? But didn't Romney have a big part in that too?"

You'll know the technique has worked once again when some Dem pol or pundit opines that, "technically, Romney is correct." That's the sign that the Big Lie has taken hold and that Obama has been swift boated on Detroit.

I can't express how bad this process makes me feel. It reeks of pure evil.

Talk about spinning and flipping. This fucker is flipping off his rocker. He should be laughed off the political stage!

Just imagine how this is going to ramp up by October.

Managed bankruptcy was the only logical route. It's a very common strategy for distressed businesses.

This ought to be a serious campaign commericial

I can see it now:

TALES BY MITT ROMNEY

MITT LIED

"I got the Auto Industry up and running again"


OBAMA LEAD

Got the Auto Industry Back On It's FEET

( Flash a sentence/ photo showing the truth)

Mitt Romney invented bankruptcy.

I wonder if he even realizes he's lying almost constantly. Good chance he has a psychiatric condition of some sort.

Adapted from "There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of creatures Chuck Norris has allowed to live."

So, President Obama, the guy who gave the order to launch the assault on Osama Bin Laden's compound, cannot take credit for the results of that event, but Mitt Romney, the guy who said General Motors and Chrysler should not be bailed out, should take credit for the current success of the auto industry. That is just ridiculous. Words cannot describe the ridiculousness of what Romney is saying and what he will attempt to do.

I'm seeing all kinds of great talking points on this thread, but this one hits the nail on the head.

How the hell does this empty suit expect anyone to believe this bullshit?

Oh, that's right. There are always FAUX viewers and right wing talk radio listeners.

He can meet with poor people in complete secrecy. His mere presence "flashy thing"s them so that they don't remember.

He has the power to determine the right height of trees.

He knows where cookies come from.

And it shows a man that would roll back the miles on a used car before selling it to an unsuspecting customer -- or any other shady or underhanded trick that he could think of. Can you imagine putting the full faith and credit of the United States in the hands of such a dishonest, immoral and corrupt person? The thought just makes your head spin.

It is not just that Romney has been so wrong on the issues in the past but that this man has no soul. He would be the second coming of Richard M. Nixon only worse. I despise the man even more than the policies he pushes -- he is that revolting and disgusting.

IF General Motors, Ford and Chrysler get the bailout that their chief executives asked for yesterday, you can kiss the American automotive industry goodbye. It won’t go overnight, but its demise will be virtually guaranteed.

Without that bailout, Detroit will need to drastically restructure itself. With it, the automakers will stay the course — the suicidal course of declining market shares, insurmountable labor and retiree burdens, technology atrophy, product inferiority and never-ending job losses. Detroit needs a turnaround, not a check.

<snip>

First, their huge disadvantage in costs relative to foreign brands must be eliminated. That means new labor agreements to align pay and benefits to match those of workers at competitors like BMW, Honda, Nissan and Toyota. Furthermore, retiree benefits must be reduced so that the total burden per auto for domestic makers is not higher than that of foreign producers.

<snip>

The new management must work with labor leaders to see that the enmity between labor and management comes to an end. This division is a holdover from the early years of the last century, when unions brought workers job security and better wages and benefits. But as Walter Reuther, the former head of the United Automobile Workers, said to my father, “Getting more and more pay for less and less work is a dead-end street.”

Have we not learned from Bush?
Romney is arrogant and his campaign needs desperate help if he is going to be a hypocrite like this.
4 MORE YEARS OBAMA 2012

Why can't more people see him for the lying piece of scum he is?

His character needs to be the big issue. This guy not only flipflops, he is a pathological liar.

and GM would be just a memory.

I hear GM's so thankful that they're going to build a clown car in honor of Romney. It has an added safety feature of flip-flopping out of the way when a collision is immanent.

Then I’m going to take for creating the vaccination the cured polo.
