Buy Newspaper Ad For Romney Op-Ed

It would be nice if someone in the Democratic Party would do a national newspaper ad buy that reprints Mitt Romney's "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt " Op-Ed. In Romney's Op-Ed he did not ask for bailout money for American car companies. He actually did, as President Obama, said the opposite.

"Snip"
In a managed bankruptcy, the federal government would propel newly competitive and viable automakers, rather than seal their fate with a bailout check.
