“During an interview with WEWS-TV in Cleveland following a campaign stop, Romney said his views helped save the industry.
‘I pushed the idea of a managed bankruptcy,’ Romney said. ‘And finally, when that was done, and help was given, the companies got back on their feet. So I’ll take a lot of credit for the fact that this industry’s come back.’”

He needs a good creative team; then launch a relentless bombardment, concentrating on weakness and vulnerabilities such as this blatant lie ackwardly sculpted with agile tongue.

I know Obama and the Dems ain’t perfect, but there is a line from the movie Julia, I love and often use (Redgraves’ character), “You can only do today, what you can do today.”
