I have never "liked" Letterman myself but man do I ever love to see a liar like Obama called out on his lying by anyone.

Wow.
"DAVID LETTERMAN, HOST: .....Now, I dont care whether youre Republican or Democrat, you want your president to be telling the truth; you want the contender to be lying. And so what we found out today or soon thereafter that, in fact, the President Obama was not telling the truth about what was excerpted from that op-ed piece. I felt discouraged."
He's talking about Obama claiming that Romney said to let Detroit go bankrupt during the debate. Romney of course never said that.
"LETTERMAN: ....the President is invoking it and swearing that he was right and that Romney was wrong and I thought, well, hes the president of course hes right. Well, it turned out no, he was taking liberties with that."
Letterman: Say, Obamas kind of lying about this GM bankruptcy thing, huh? « Hot Air
Date of this article--August 9, 2011.Barack Obamas aides and advisers are preparing to center the presidents reelection campaign on a ferocious personal assault on Mitt Romneys character and business background, a strategy grounded in the early-stage expectation that the former Massachusetts governor is the likely GOP nominee.
The dramatic and unabashedly negative turn is the product of political reality. Obama remains personally popular, but pluralities in recent polling disapprove of his handling of his job, and Americans fear the country is on the wrong track. His aides are increasingly resigned to running for reelection in a glum nation. And so the candidate who ran on hope in 2008 has little choice four years later but to run a slashing, personal campaign aimed at disqualifying his likeliest opponent.
I know the right wing won't believe this because they only believe conspiracies.
Even Bain refused to invest in the auto industry. Without government help, we would have no care industry.
Here is Mitt's article:
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/19/opinion/19romney.html?src=mv&_r=0#38;ref=general
The federal government should provide guarantees for post-bankruptcy financing and assure car buyers that their warranties are not at risk.
There would have been no "post bankruptcy financing" because there would have been no auto industry. Mitt knows that. He is too good of a businessman not to know it. He knows he can say this because something else already happened. The auto industry was saved, so he's free to say anything he wants.
What a "smart" Republican could be asking is why Mitt wants to bring immigrants here with degrees to start businesses, but doesn't feel Americans are worth investing in. Maybe he feels the same as Rick Santorum?

No, I just appreciate that unlike the liberal obamabots like you, he can see a lie and call it out.
Letterman didn't point to any lies by Obama, just said he was taking liberty with the op-ed. The only statement by Obama anyone could have a problem with is when he said "would not provide government assistance to the U.S. auto companies, even if they went through bankruptcy."
Which is taken out of context. And begs the question is bankruptcy "government assistance"?
Here's the quote from the oped:
"The American auto industry is vital to our national interest as an employer and as a hub for manufacturing. A managed bankruptcy may be the only path to the fundamental restructuring the industry needs. It would permit the companies to shed excess labor, pension and real estate costs. The federal government should provide guarantees for post-bankruptcy financing and assure car buyers that their warranties are not at risk."
Mitt Romney - TARP and GM
I put his words in bold just to make it easy for you to find.
Most experts agree GM would not have made it out of bankruptcy. Would that be like offering someone food after they are dead and saying you assisted them?

Reading from the teleprompter, Letterman was just being patronizing and condescending. Making it appear he is not anti- Romney which he clearly is. Come Nov. ^th you can bet the farm he WILL vote for Obama! Nuff said!
Trust me, Letterman is voting for Obama.
Now you want to listen to Entertainers? lol
Trust me, Letterman is voting for Obama.
I doubt he'll bother to vote. He certainly wants to influence the election with his bully pulpit though.

PolitiFact | Obama says Romney opposed any government help to rescue carmakers"You keep on trying to, you know, airbrush history here," Obama said."You were very clear that you would not provide government assistance to the U.S. auto companies, even if they went through bankruptcy. You said that they could get it in the private marketplace."
We rate Obama's statement Mostly False.

As for Romney, he continues to characterize Obama's trip overseas as an "Apology Tour"during the denates, something that a "binder full" of fact checkers have found to be untrue.
Romney said Detroit should go bankrupt.
"IF General Motors, Ford and Chrysler get the bailout that their chief executives asked for yesterday, you can kiss the American automotive industry goodbye. It wont go overnight, but its demise will be virtually guaranteed."
"The American auto industry is vital to our national interest as an employer and as a hub for manufacturing. A managed bankruptcy may be the only path to the fundamental restructuring the industry needs. "
