Having Opposed Auto Bailout, Romney Now Takes Credit for Rebound
By ASHLEY PARKER
LANSING, Mich. Mitt Romney often finds himself on the defensive in Rust Belt states for having been against the auto industry bailout, which many credit with saving the industry. Now, he is taking a new tack on the sensitive issue: hes taking credit for the industrys rebound.
Though Mr. Romneys closest aides acknowledge that he is politically vulnerable over his opposition to the government bailout immortalized in a New York Times op-ed in 2008 titled Let Detroit Go Bankrupt Mr. Romney on Monday told WEWS-TV in Cleveland that he deserved some praise for the auto industrys recovery. (In fact, that headline was written by the paper, not Mr. Romney, who originally submitted the piece as, The Way Forward for the Auto Industry.)
Ill take a lot of credit for the fact that this industrys come back, Mr. Romney told the local news station after a campaign event in Euclid, Ohio.

who makes Dick Nixon look like a paragon of truthfulness.
Given that Harry Truman once said of Nixon: "Richard Nixon is a no good, lying bastard. He can lie out of both sides of his mouth at the same time, and if he ever caught himself telling the truth, he'd lie just to keep his hand in" that is one hell of an accomplishment
