It's true. And mitt could never ever say that about Obama. For many reasons, but for especially.

...Romney's response when being questioned by a TV reporter in 2008.

Here's his NY Times op-ed that says the same thing:

Let Detroit Go Bankrupt

QUOTE:

IF General Motors, Ford and Chrysler get the bailout that their chief executives asked for yesterday, you can kiss the American automotive industry goodbye. It won’t go overnight, but its demise will be virtually guaranteed.

Without that bailout, Detroit will need to drastically restructure itself. With it, the automakers will stay the course — the suicidal course of declining market shares, insurmountable labor and retiree burdens, technology atrophy, product inferiority and never-ending job losses. Detroit needs a turnaround, not a check.

I'm sure someone's going to scold Obama for going there, but I approve this message!

I like that it's short and sweet. At this time, swing voters have probably seen so many ads that you have to get your punches in right away in the ad.
