According to the Detroit Free Press, Romney stated during an Ohio rally, "I saw a story today that one of the great manufacturers in this state, Jeep, now owned by the Italians, is thinking of moving all production to China." Governor Romney was referring to the Bloomberg (hardly a right-wing organization) piece which stated, "Fiat SpA (F), majority owner of Chrysler Group LLC, plans to return Jeep output to China and may eventually make all of its models in that country, according to the head of both automakers' operations in the region." This inference was taken from comments that a Chrysler / Fiat executive made when he questioned whether the automaker should, "... be localizing the entire Jeep portfolio or some of the Jeep portfolio" by manufacturing Jeeps in China. The facts seem very clear that Romney made an understandable assessment of the story. The Bloomberg statement that Chrysler / Fiat may eventually make all Jeeps in China led to Romneys claim that a news story reported that Jeep was thinking of moving all production to China. Sure sounds logical to me.
The biased media and the Obama team are claiming Romney was wrong as Chrysler recently flip-flopped and attempted to clarify its comments by now saying that it may only move SOME of the Jeep manufacturing to China. Fair enough. The fact remains, a bailed out auto company (Chrysler) that was given to the Italians (Fiat) by the Obama Administration is likely to move at least some, if not eventually all, production of Jeeps to China. Taxpayers paid billions of dollars for the bailout and now it appears jobs will be lost to China just as Obama accuses Romney of being the outsourcer. And there is absolutely no justification to accuse Romney of being wrong, as he accurately interpreted the original story.

Jeep and Ford have called him a liar too
Romney's lack of integrity has been pretty well understood in Ohio for months. Hence his difficulties there.
Nice of him to put the cherry on top just before Election Day.
It is becoming painfully obvious that Romney will do and say anything to have a chance of winning. He seems to have thrown away his Morman morality and is now worshipping the GOP Fathers.

So what have they called you? Oh wait, you Don'tmatter.
Fiat will be making Jeeps in China rather than make them here for export.
Romney was right. AGAIN
