I didn't know this.

Quote
One of Mitt Romney's top advisers said Saturday that President Obama's decision to bailout Chrysler and General Motors was actually Romney's idea.

"[Romney's] position on the bailout was exactly what President Obama followed. I know it infuriates them to hear that," Eric Fehrnstrom, senior adviser to the Romney campaign, said.

"The only economic success that President Obama has had is because he followed Mitt Romney's advice."



Oh. Wait!

Quote
The claim appears to be a shift from Mitt Romney's November 2008 op-ed in The New York Times, headlined, "Let Detroit go bankrupt."

Quote
In a February op-ed in The Detroit News, Romney called Obama's auto bailout “crony capitalism on a grand scale.”

“The president tells us that without his intervention things in Detroit would be worse,” Romney wrote. “I believe that without his intervention things there would be better.”

Lis Smith, an Obama campaign spokeswoman, accused Fehrnstrom of distorting Romney's record.

“GM and Chrysler are in existence, creating jobs, and posting some of their most profitable quarters in history today because President Obama bet on American workers," Smith said in a statement to The Hill. "If Mitt Romney had had his way, the American auto industry and the millions of jobs it supports would cease to exist. Dishonesty and distortions are nothing new for the Romney campaign, but they can’t change this simple fact.”

Just like Paul Ryan denouncing Ayn Rand...no wait, he just didn't denounce her...he wants you to know that despite these silly urban legends floating about, he was never a fan of hers...exceepppttt for the fact that up until last week...he pretty much thought she was bonerific.

"The reason I got involved in public service, by and large, if I had to credit one thinker, one person, it would be Ayn Rand," Ryan said during a 2005 event honoring Rand in Washington, D.C., the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported in April 2009."

Oh, hell, I don't feel like copying and pasting all the conflicting reality...

Suffice it to say it's a little troubling that Ryan didn't figure out for himself, until just last week it seems, that she was an atheist, which seemed to create his BS conflict.  As a comment in the crooksandliars story stated so perfectly...,"He likes her 'fuck everybody' attitude, just not her atheism."
