Mitt "let the car industry go bankrupt" Romney gets egg on his face.

[1KielsonDrive]

It was announced recently that Michigan's economy grew by 3% last year - 15th best in the US. Thousands are being hired by the auto industry, the "Detroit" to which Mitt Romney was referring when he authored a New York Time op ed piece entitled "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt" when we were flat on our backs in 2008.

The auto companies are profitable, paying back the loans that saved them, generating revenue for the state and hundreds of thousands of jobs here and nationally have been saved.

Now he's baa-aack asking us to make him President. For a candidate whose strong suite is allegedly his business acumen, how can he even show his face around here? Would he be here had his advice been heeded?

You gotta love politicians.

Sorry Lowell, you're drinking the kool-aid and buying into what [[in this case, demican) politicians are marketing. Without a doubt there's bits of good news hidden behind all of this stuff - there always is. But ignoring the bad news - still there in obvious abundance, and highlighting only bits of good news is exactly what politicians do to serve their own ends. And I can and will speak to it personally. Romney undoubtedly deserves to be called out. I'm sure you'll highlight my 'cup half empty as opposed to cup half full' attitude, as you call it, but you'll also be ignoring that I've invested much in this time and in this economy. Not the trademarks of a 'cup half empty' guy, as you maintain. I volunteer, remain active in my community and I refuse to be bullshitted. Call it what you like, and I love your personal gentle nature, but you risk sounding just like one of those politicians when you buy into and repeat their propaganda. I don't expect you to lay into them as I do, you're a very high-profile businessman and a moderator, but come on.
