These two states are different from most of the other toss-up states, in that they are largely white and still heavily influenced by unions. Team Obama need to adjust their message in these two states accordingly. They need to remind voters what that would have meant - union busting, sharply lower wages, shuttered factories, equipment moving to China. All things Romney has spent a lifetime doing.
If Obama hammers away *every* *day* at this message, they will sew up Ohio and Wisconsin imo, and in the process, will wrap up the election. Because without Ohio or Wisconsin, Romney simply cannot win.

I would not find it advisable.
Hell, even Letterman called it a lie.

(2,642 posts)4. Detroit went bankrupt ANYWAY.
The biggest difference between what rmoney wanted, and what happened under Obama is that rmoney wanted to use private equity to do it and Obama chose to use public money.
Factcheck.org agrees.
