Republicans like Mitt Romney wanted to let Detroit go Bankrupt. Who Saved Michigan and the American Auto Worker, Who Wanted it to Fail? June 2nd, 2011, in a speech officially announcing his candidacy for President (again), Mitt Romney declared that our country is inches away from no longer being a free-market economy and accused President Obama of having "failed America." Funny thing about that. Back on November 18th, 2008, Mitt Romney wrote an opinion piece for the New York Times, in which he rather explicitly recommended that Detroit's Big Three automakers be allowed to fail. In fact, he made a prediction. He said that if the not-yet-inaugurated new president gave the automakers a bailout, he would be assuing their doom. Here is how Romney started his essay: "If General Motors, Ford and Chrysler get the bailout that their chief executives asked for yesterday, you can kiss the American automotive industry goodbye." Romney advocated a managed bankruptcy with no check from the government. In other words, despite his stated belief that this would save the auto industry, he was recommending that all of the Big Three's assets be sold in a fire-sale and that cars be made somewhere else and that autoworkers find new jobs in the worst recession since the 1930's. Our President did force two of the Big Three into a managed bankruptcy, but he also provided the capital Chrysler and General Motors needed to survive. Here's how Joe Biden's former chief of staff Ron Klain puts it: "Of all the policy challenges I saw President Obama tackle in my two years in the White House, none was more complex than turning around the U.S. auto industry... ...Even the sickest of the Big Three, Chrysler, whose problems in the spring of 2009 seemed so intractable that the White House gave serious consideration to letting the company go under, posted a $116 million profit for the first quarter of this year and paid back its federal loans six years early. Perhaps most importantly, the auto industry announced in May that it has begun to hire again, a feat that would have been deemed impossible two years ago." Mitt Romney's father was the governor of Michigan back in the 1960's. He was even a presidential contender until he killed his candidacy by admitting to having been "brainwashed" on Vietnam. The younger Romney was born in Michigan. But, if he had had his way we could have just shuttered the doors on the Great Lakes State and turned out the lights, because without the auto industry, Michigan wouldn't be a state worth maintaining in the Union. If Mitt Romney goes on to win the Republican nomination and face the president in the fall of 2012, I hope the voters of Michigan and the rest of America see an unending loop of that New York Times headline. "Who saved Michigan? Who wanted it to fail?" This should disqualify Romney from ever winning anything. Except perhaps the Republican Presidential Nomination. Bring him on. God bless America and the American Auto Worker! User Comment from Youtube- I guess the birther issue was just too hot for him to touch, so he figured he'd go with the good ole Birch Society socialist charge. Back to basics, boring as always. Mitt Romney has the charisma of a potato. Not that he has admitted we humans may have contributed to Climate Change he's done anyway. The only question is who does he endorse? And who wants that endorsement? :)

Some background- Mormonism is the religion practiced by Mormons, and is the predominant religious tradition of the Latter Day Saint movement. This movement was founded by Joseph Smith, Jr. beginning in the 1820s as a form of Christian primitivism. During the 1830s and 1840s, Smith gradually distinguished itself from traditional Protestantism, and what is called Mormonism today represents the new, non-Protestant faith taught by Smith in the 1840s. After Smith's death, most Mormons followed Brigham Young to the Rocky Mountains as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Other branches of Mormonism include Mormon fundamentalism, which seeks to maintain practices and doctrines such as polygamy that were discontinued by the LDS Church, and various other small independent denominations. The term Mormon derived from the Book of Mormon, one of the faith's religious texts. Based on the name of that book, early followers of founder Joseph Smith, Jr. were called Mormons, and their faith was called Mormonism. The term was initially considered pejorative, but is no longer considered so by Mormons.
