I know this is 'complex' and there are 'no reporters' anymore ..... but the 'Blame it on Obama' angle is so over the top as to be beyond remarkable. This is a clear and profound example of this billionaire swine flu, this Un-American sickness we are living with. This is a full frontal 'stick-in-the-eye' to any reasonable thinking person that the ghosts of reporters past should awaken.
Romney and his 'vulture gang' hold the GM bailout hostage via DELPHI, beat the worker, rob everybody, ship jobs to China and then ...hold on........ BLAME Obama?
(plus receive a 'ceremonial reward' for it from the Kochs .... ahh they are so hysterical).
["But there was unfinished business: Obama needed to be blamed for the pension disaster. In a ad airing in swing states retired Delphi manager says, The Obama administration decided to terminate my pension .
Another retiree, Mary , says, I really struggle . I would ask President Obama why I had no rights, and he had all the rights to take my pension awayand (said), Not only did I take it from Mary Miller, I took it from 20,000 other people.
These people are real. But The ads were paid for by Let Freedom Ring, a 501(c)(4) nonprofit advocacy organization partially funded by Jack Templeton Jr., a billionaire evangelical .
Of course, it wasnt Obama who refused to pay the Delphi pensions; it was Paul Singer and the other controlling Delphi. The salaried workers pensions were, after all, an obligation of Delphis owners, not the government. Delphis stockholdersthe Romneys includedhad one easy way to rectify the harm to these pensioners, much as GM did for its workers: just pay

(60 posts)My husband told me about watching MHP and saw this story. I missed it, so I waited to watch it online. If you have the time try yto see the interview. Romney reminds me of a use car salesman. Is this a man that should elected POTUS? I think not.

(89 posts)Like I said I doesn't grab anyones attention. THis read is the clearest way to illustrate who Romney is, who he has been, who his associates are and how he goers about 'JOB CREATING'
In the same Bizapp Templeton / Koch and Co. get to show who they are.
I came to this from reading letters in Ohio papers where Obama is in fact held responsible for the attack on the pensioners. The $ Ads worked.
