Romney wanted Ohio's, Michigan's, and Wisconsin's auto industry to go bankrupt-he said so

Mr. Romney:

How can you go on television and say let "Detroit and the auto industry go bankrupt" at the very time they desperately needed government help, and now come back and beg for their votes? At the time you were trying to appeal to your right wing primary voters and hoped that Ohio , Wisconsin, and Michigan will forget. President Obama stood for them and provided the helping hand they needed and they are now thriving and thousands of auto and related jobs were saved in these states alone. You made your bed early on, and now sleep on it and watch Obama get re-elected in a few days by carrying all these 3 states in addition to many others!!

If someone cared to dig into it I bet they would find that the squeeze the financial industry put on the auto industry had Mittens' stamp of approval on it. He truly is lower than whale shit.

They want everything to bottom out.

They want the same thing to happen to the housing market too. They want to SPEED UP foreclosures, not slow them down.
