Let's see...what else would Mitt Rmoney like to "take a lot of credit for"? [View all]

There's a piece on the front page entitled "Mitt Romney: 'I'll Take A Lot Of Credit' For Auto Industry Recovery".

Interesting to speculate what else he might like to take a lot of credit for...

Say, maybe, the success of the Marshall Plan post WWII?
OK, sure, he was only 2 or 3 years old at the time, but with his precocious skills, who knows?

And then, how about domestic programs like the interstate highway system? Let's see, he would've been what, 8 or 10 years old?

But, surely nothing was beyond the budding intellect of this child prodigy.

DUers, what do you think? What else might Willard deserve "a lot of credit for"?
