National Interest

Romney on his 2009 call to let the American auto industry go bankrupt: "My view at the time — and I set it out plainly in an op-ed in the New York Times — was that “the American auto industry is vital to our national interest as an employer and as a hub for manufacturing. Instead of a bailout, I favored “managed bankruptcy” as the way forward."

It's vital so let it go bankrupt? What a crook... er crock. He favored letting them go bankrupt. Period. We all know what that means and this is exactly what one would expect from somebody who got filthy rich by bankrupting American companies, screwing American workers out of their pensions and destroying American jobs.

We're quite sure his Bain Capital was standing at the ready to make millions off the many bankruptcy's that would have occurred had the car makers, all their suppliers, and the all businesses that depend on them been allowed to go belly up. Fortunately we have a president that is out for the best interest of the country instead of his investors. By doubling down on his stunningly wrong 2009 call, Romney demonstrates that even as president he would be a corporate raider vulture capitalist, the country be damned.
