The primary super PAC supporting President Barack Obama's reelection campaign is airing a new ad in Michigan which knocks Mitt Romney's business credentials in a state which suffered when the auto industry stumbled.

"Let Detroit go bankrupt," Romney says in the Priorities USA television advertisement, repeating the headline of an op-ed he wrote in 2008, arguing for a managed bankruptcy process rather than a bailout for the industry.

A baritone narrator criticizes Romney around the quote, saying "There's little question he made a fortune from businesses he helped destroy," and later asking, "Are those the values we want in an American president?"

The brief clip of Romney is from a 2011 interview on CBS, as Romney explained his argument in the op-ed. In the interview, he said that "those companies needed to go through bankruptcy to shed those costs."

2. Great message...and Willard has no defense he can play.

It's great how they tied his editorial directly to his job cremation past.

3. Sounds like they want to help Santorum win

so it will be easier in Nov...

4. Good start but they should go after his foreclosure statements too

I hope this is just one in a series of ads that attack him here. I would like nothing more than to see Michigan be the place where Rmoney's hopes are crushed once and for all.
