What does Mitt Romney stand for? Find out: http://www.whichmitt.com
In Michigan, in 2008, Mitt Romney said: "I'm not willing to sit back and say, 'Too bad for Michigan, too bad --too bad for the car industry, too bad for the people who've lost their jobs. They're gone forever.'" January 14, 2008
But, just two and a half years later outside of Michigan: "That's exactly what I said. The headline you read which said 'let Detroit go bankrupt' points out that those companies needed to go through bankruptcy to shed those costs." June 3, 2011
I'll have to look into the context of both comments. The fed govt bailed and rewarded out the execs whose mismanagement caused the problems & other millionaires, and did nothing to help the blue-collar workers & middle-level managers who lost their jobs anyway, having done nothing wrong. It sounds like Romney is advocating the opposite, which is exactly what we should have done.
