President Obama offered him a helpful political clinic the same day, rousing a crowd of auto workers with a fiery speech in which he took direct aim at Romney's opposition to bailing out Detroit. "I've got to admit, it's been funny to watch some of these politicians completely rewrite history now that you're back on your feet," Obama told a UAW convention in Washington. "These are the folks who said if we went forward with our plan to rescue Detroit, "you can kiss the American automotive industry goodbye.' Now they're saying they were right all along!" The alternative to federal help, Obama said, "was to do nothing, and allow these companies to fail. In fact, some politicians said we should. Some even said we should "let Detroit go bankrupt.'" |
