TPM: As the economy gains momentum and GM reports record profits, Mitt Romney is assuring Michiganders that -- dangerous as they may be to his candidacy -- he's plenty happy about both developments. "Thank heavens the entrepreneurial and independent spirit of the US is winning out," Romney said at an event in Farmington Hills, despite the "burdens" he said were placed on it by the Obama administration.
Seems Richy Rich is having trouble lying to the people of Michigan. This is likely because there are 100,000 auto workers in the state that are working today because thankfully, Romney was not in charge. And millions more that are either in the same family or otherwise know one of those auto workers.
These companies were one foot into liquidation and Romney was against the save at the time. So at this point he's got two choices, admit he made a horrifically bad call, or double down. He's choosing the latter. Which of course will be the gift that keeps on giving.
As for that last part, Obama fixed a huge problem that was caused before his administration and by Romney's Republican party. To attack Obama in this context is a bold but futile effort. If Romney wants to be commander in chief he needs to learn to pick his battles a little better. This one is a lost cause.
