Mitt Romney is facing tough questions this week over how much he profited from the auto rescue. Romney's stock in Delphi is worth 4000% what he paid he for it, and the gain is mysteriously missing from financial disclosure forms. Watch it.
If I remember correctly, part of the 'bailout' deal with Obama was the auto manufacturers had to create a good percentage of jobs here at home. They have done that. Romney lies, AGAIN. I'm convinced he has lying disorder. Look it up online. He is a walking description of the term. As usual, he is pulling facts out of his rear end. As Ed said, the workers took a pretty good haircut while Romney and his charming wife made big $$$$ off yet another vulture capitalistic merry venture. We want a crook like this guy running the country? Romney is the essence of everything the plutocrats are doing to screw the little guy in America.The unions need to stand up and tell it like it is for the sake of their very survival.
Besides the hurricane, which many moronic religious righties blame on Obama! (and they vote) everything I am seeing lately indicates an economy on the upswing. In the last few days I've read natural gas prices are going down in central Oregon due to increased supply, GM profits are better than estimates ,Ford is beating expectations ,BP returns to profitability, Apple is building more data centers, home prices are on the rise, homes in my neighborhood are moving much quicker than four years ago. The paranoia from the right is starting to look as weak as a teabag used three times. They have NO new ideas, and have spent four years attempting to make Obama fail, while we are pulling out of the mire despite their do-nothing policy. How many people will pull the switch for a crook like Romney hoping they wont get screwed too bad, just because the guy who really gives a damn about the middle class is half Black?

I'm glad to see auto workers fight back and demand some answers.

This is how they work the system, and then they lie and lie about it. This man and his family will buy and sell just to make a buck and they dont give a damn who they destroy along the way.
Bob the people on the right dont care about facts and the facts are the gop/tea baggers are the ones that screwed up everything and it has cost us dearly. They dont care what the did in the last four years to the country with their obstructist ways. They just want this man out of office and then they get upset when you call them out for what they have done, but they will vote for the same policies by voting for romney/ryan.. they dont care what happens to this country because they have their guns, consitution, and their bible. what more do they need to destroy a country with besides their racist hate..

Mitt continues to show what he is made of and it isn't pretty. When you have to lie and scare people in an attempt to win them over, you might as well roll up your tent and go home. In these hard times, we need to build people up instead of tearing them down. In spite of not seeing a sufficient number of tax returns, we are finding out more and more about how Mitt has made money and there is little doubt that he has been a Robin Hood in reverse. At a time when the auto industry was suffering badly, he along with two of his buddies made millions through intimidation. How can anyone but a wealthy individual see any advantage to electing Mitt Romney?

No wonder he doesn't want us to see his tax returns! and those damm comercials on TV drive me crazy, most of that debt they complain about is from our last 3 republican presidents and from the two neocon wars and the two rounds of tax cuts for the rich!

I think auto workers and the rest of America deserve and have a right to know all of romneys dirty secrets! I may not be in a position to call the guy a scumbag (even if its true) but I will tell you again this is the kind of money grubbing politician we dont need running our country.
On to something perhaps more important. All of the people effected by H. Sandy, my prayers go out to you, and I expect all who can step forward and help, to do so. Sandy may have been an"act of god" but how about mans effect on nature, maybe thats got something to do with it? Pregnancy caused by rape is definately an act of man. Normally we believe earthquakes and such are acts of god, but what if man f@cks with nature so badly that stuff like Sandy happens? Whats next? This is exactly why weve got to protect the rain forest by not buying beef from so.America. Weve also got to start imediately changing over to GREEN ENERGY! If I am elected president one of the first things Im going to do is switch us from gasoline to METHANOL! not that ethanol stuff that is made from corn and thus not a viable alternative.

Once again I'll tell you weve got to tax the rich to help our country. Cutting taxes on the rich (as romney would do) would do nothing except help the rich get richer at the cost of the rest of us bottom 98%ers. After years of watching this happen, we ought to know by now that money and jobs dont trickle down.
Finally America needs to be a country that can take care of its own. Dont let Sandy or romney ruin us!

Romney is not only a liar, and a vulture capitalist thief, but he is a real scumbag! I.m sorry, but there is no real polite way, to say what I said here!

i'm unsure its an ethics violation? but its morally wrong.
At times morally wrong does not = ethics violation.
