Hillary Clinton subtly swipes at Mitt Romney over auto bailoutHillary Clinton cribbed a page from President Barack Obamas playbook on Thursday by taking a swipe at Mitt Romneys 2008 oped, Let Detroit Go Bankrupt.
At an event outside Detroit, where the former secretary of state endorsed Democrats Mark Schauer and Gary Peters, Clinton spoke glowingly of their support for the 2008 auto bailout that invested billions into the United States struggling auto industry.
Now, they could take the safe way, they could line up with those saying Let Detroit go bankrupt, let manufacturing just wither away, Clinton said to a chorus of boos. They could be on the side of those who were criticizing what they called government motors.
Though Clinton never mentioned Romney by name, the comment appeared to be directed at him, as well as Schauers and Peters Republican opponents.

Some vote Republican anyway. NASCAR fans who hate Obama are my favorite.
