With the general election in full swing, Mitt Romney is tacking to the center on the auto rescue with furious speed, with a top spokesman and then Romney himself both claiming he deserves a big thank-you for saving Detroit.
He doesnt.
I pushed the idea of a managed bankruptcy, and finally when that was done, and help was given, the companies got back on their feet, Romney told a Cleveland TV station while visiting a local auto plant Monday. So, Ill take a lot of credit for the fact that this industry has come back.
The trouble is that the people who helped craft the actual auto bailout and not just on the Democratic side have said Romneys often confusing public position would likely have resulted in destruction of the industry.
Ive read, I think, everything Romneys had to say on this subject, and the level of flip-flopping and dissembling is truly mind-boggling, Steve Rattner, the auto czar who advised the White House on the auto rescue, told TPM. Hes been on every side of the auto rescue at different times and said different things, so its hard to know what he honestly thinks.

(6,407 posts)He says whatever he thinks people want to hear. His character should be the central issue of this
campaign. How can anyone trust this man? Neither the Right nor the Left have a clue as to what he actually would do
in office. There is no there there.
