Romney takes auto industry for a ride

IF THE auto industry could reinvent itself as quickly as Mitt Romney, it wouldn't need a bailout.

Let Detroit go bankrupt, Romney opined in yesterday's New York Times; if automakers get the rescue package they want, they will stay "the suicidal course of declining market shares, insurmountable labor and retiree burdens, technology atrophy, product inferiority and never-ending job losses."

Just last January, Romney won Michigan's Republican primary by telling autoworkers what they wanted to hear. Somewhere, John McCain must be choking on the latest opportunistic words from his ex-rival.

During their showdown last winter, Michigan's native son lambasted McCain for truthfully informing autoworkers their jobs aren't "coming back." The former Massachusetts governor pledged to fight for every job, promising primary voters, "If I am president of the United States, I will not rest until Michigan is back."

I remember Joe Scarborugh the right wing pundit from msnbc

made fun of McCain when he made that comment. Saying McCains platform

was built on more wars and no jobs, he went on to say no jobs and more

wars something every American supports.
