Talking about Mitt's lies in his "auto industry" ad - aren't we missing the point, entirely?
Yes, the ad campaign almost seems like a parody of an ad, it's so full of lies, innuendo and fear mongering. However, Mitt has spent the past five months trying to claim credit for the auto industry bail-out. Doesn't that mean that Mitt is now attacking himself in his own ads?
Sorry, "No Ma'am", but you have it wrong. When Bush did bailout money to the auto industry, it was a no-strings attached deal. They asked for more bailout money, and Obama told them he would not do it unless they had a restructuring plan.

What the government did was step in as the post-bankruptcy investors, which is not what Mitt wanted to do, at all.

Huh?
Romney said they need to restructure via bankruptcy and that's exactly what happened.
If you recall, the bailouts were originally to avoid bankruptcy.
They failed as bankruptcy turned out to be inevitable.

Dems would rather put the focus on this ad than ask the POTUS why the treasury department doesn't sell their shares of GM.
