People need to realize that all political figures are liars. They say what the people wanna hear but the do as the lobbiests want them to do. Politics is not about what what you know its about who you know or who you blow. The more the government divides us the easier it can conquer us.

excuses excuses for romney. EPIC FAIL on ROMNEY. Obama will wipe the floor with that flip flopper

[tehjefey]

Hey Mitt. Ever heard of the phrase "An elephant never forgets?"

[schmales26]

In my opinion, romney was right the first time. I believe in competition, not "too big to fail." the people will decide what's best for the people

[JcracksBitch]

ROMNEYS FULL OF SHIT

[gabriel4838]

this show is paid for by the Obama campaign, If Romney made a mistake, with this so what, what about the promises Obama made, well I dont see the economy turning around. this show is paid for by the liberal press that favors the democrats. Obama must go, but I do think the republican party is the way to go either. maybe Ron Paul, Herman Cain, maybe someone else.

He's not taking credit for the bailout. He maintains that the infusion of cash was a mistake and costs the taxpayers billions of dollars. What he is claiming credit for is calling for a court-supervised bankruptcy proceeding to reorganize and eliminate costs. This is what ultimately happened and is what saved the companies just as he predicted. But the infusion of cash from the Obama Administration was nothing but a payoff to the UAW who didn't want to cut back on their lavish incomes.

@mpetrie "Mitt Romney had the idea first...a course of action that eventually the Obama Administration adopted." Me me me, it was my idea. How you get anything other than him taking credit for it out of that is beyond me. Your mouth is moving and words are coming out, but all I hear are tired talking points and nonsense.

[8jwest]

@opinionatedliberal mpetrie explained it well. Mitt clarified many times that he felt that the auto-industry should go through the bankruptcy process to reorganize their debt...which is what happened despite the 17 billion dollars pumped into them. Romney wished that they went through bankruptcy without the 17 billion dollars...that is his point.

@mpetrie

Yes, he is taking credit for it. This is pretty much Romney's MO.

He is a major panderer and flip-flopper. No matter how you slice it

he wanted the industry to fail—because that is what he does. He buys

businesses then destroys them. He's a corporate raider. He's still

lying and flip flopping about the economy. He really has no backbone

AT ALL.

[mpetrie]

@nofurrythings You know nothing about Romney's business background, do you? Some businesses that Bain took over were unsalvageable but many others were successful. Staples, Domino's Pizza, Burlington Coat Factory, Burger King, Brookstone, Toys R Us, Sealy Corp... just to name a few that Bain took over or invested in. Boy.. that sounds like an utter failure of his firm. Staples alone had one store in 1986 and now has over 1,700. The SLC Olympics were a smashing success after Romney took over too.

[steffenml]

Really? Really?? Jesus, he was part of the Republican branch that refused to even VOTE FOR the bailout, and he now wants to take credit?? Seriously, I have no words...
