UAW Charges Romney With Profiteering From Auto Bailout

Saw this on twitter 30 minutes ago. Not much reporting that I can detect.

"At a press conference in Toledo, Bob King, President of the United Automobile Workers, will announce that his union and Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) have filed a formal complaint with the US Office of Government Ethics in Washington stating that Gov. Romney improperly hid a profit of $15.3 million to $115.0 million in Ann Romney's so-called "blind" trust."

Imagine Romney profiting from the auto bailout that he opposed.

Talk about cooked.
