poorly thought out????? Nah, it was a shallow attempt to preempt for the general election, the liberals 'occupy wall street' show.He was equating Govt Motors and the cost cutting they did with general business cost cutting such as what happened at Bain.
Maybe we are seeing two different videos?
I think the liberals plot for having 'occupy wall street' was done to activate a national uprising against the supposed 'evil' rich Republicans, namely Romney. As long as I have been watching the political games, liberals always accused that 'corporate' welfare is how Republicans get rich.
I think rather than Romney refute them, he attempted to liken his personal gains as same as Obama using US taxpayers to bail out the auto industry. My objection is that by using this analogy, Romney ignores that what Obama did was not conservative. Notice I have not uttered any negative about Romney's stored up wealth, but that he can hardly get his undies in a wad if any conservative questions his business practices. Because he himself has already questioned his own business practices. We the people, 'government', have NO business bailing out private businesses, else it is NOT free enterprise.
