FROM THE CHURCH OF INEFFABLE STUPIDITY:
Last weekend, Romney took credit for the auto bailout, claiming that his 2009 editorial was being misconstrued. When he said, Let Detroit Fail, what he meant was that government should underwrite billions in auto company loans to permit necessary restructuring and investment, because Wall Street and other financing sources had totally dried up. Because Large Government Always Fails, by letting Large Government underwrite these loans, and allowing Big Auto to succeed in the private market once again, the companies proved that the loans were failures, and that Romney's plan was, indeed, a successful plan that Obama simply followed.
Right.
