Remember when Romney told this lie "I had a friend who said: 'You don't just pick the winners and losers; you pick the losers.'", during the debate.
Oops, there he goes again
Romney zinger: Obama backs 'green' energy losers. Is he right?CSMonitor.com
At Wednesday night's presidential debate, GOP candidate Romney summarized the difference with this zinger: "You put $90 billion like 50 years worth of tax breaks into solar and wind, to Solyndra and Fisker and Tesla and Ener1," he told the president. "I had a friend who said: 'You don't just pick the winners and losers; you pick the losers.' "

Of the $90 billion handed out, less than $1 billion has been lost, even counting two other failures Romney didn't mention: Beacon Power and Abound Solar. That's less than the $2.4 billion Congress has set aside for losses, The New York Times points out. If Romney had that kind of record at Bain Capital, he'd be a proud member of the billionaire's club right now.
