Nov 2012

I suspect Romney was fine with the title at the time. But the title was not the worst.. it was the first paragraph...

"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."

Romney and the vast majority of the GOP opposed the bailout.. there were no ifs, ands, buts about it.
