Unbelievable...Mitt "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt" Romney now wants to "take a lot of credit for" the turnaround of the auto industry.

Wow. Talk about unbelievable ballsiness. He's got it. This is him yesterday:

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney on Monday gave himself kudos for the U.S. auto industry's recovery because he had called to let car companies go bankrupt.

"I pushed the idea of a managed bankruptcy," the candidate told Cleveland's WEWS-TV. "And finally, when that was done, and help was given, the companies got back on their feet."

"So I'll take a lot of credit for the fact that this industry's come back," he added.


And this is him three years ago, when the industry was on the verge of collapse:

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.


He was wrong then, and we have the archives to prove it; and he is wrong now.

It is an unusual case; no development in the extremities, but it seems to have spread to the head, and swelled it, too, considerably.

Hmm ... if the past is any indication, it is a longer shot than me winning the Kentucky Derby while walking.

Debate in 2004: John Kerry accurately points out that Bush said he wasn't that concerned about Osama bin Laden ... mere months after the 9/11/2001 attacks. Despite it being one of the few media events where George W. Bush actually answered questions from reporters, NOT ONE FREAKING "LIBERALLY-BIASED MEDIA" OUTLET showed the tape. The day when Bush43 had made that statement suddenly became unavailable on the official White House web site.

Mittens was neutered by the teabaggers earlier in the campaign. The balls you speak of are fake, added only for show. Hence, neuticles.

Yeah see Mitt that's the part you were against, "help". You said no tax payer money only private capital and that was nowhere to be found. Even your Bain Capital was turned them down.

He really doesn't even have the bravado, he just thinks he is everything he wants to be, regardless of the truth.
