Obama Hits Romney Over Auto Bailout

Speaking from an autoworkers union event in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday morning, President Obama took a shot at Mitt Romney and other Republican presidential contenders, calling their for position on the auto-bailout a “load of you-know-what”:

Because 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.  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.  Or worse, they’re saying that the problem is that you, the workers, made out like bandits in all of this; that saving the American auto industry was just about paying back unions.  Really?  Even by the standards of this town, that’s a load of you-know-what.
