Day ending in "Y" and all that

Well, looks like Mitt Romney is playing the part of alternative universe "truth-teller":

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney repeated a false claim Thursday night that Chrysler Group may move all Jeep vehicle production to China, drawing criticism from the Obama campaign, which said the Michigan native had blatantly skewed a news wire story.
And his sources were as impeccable as ever:

Romney apparently was referencing conservative bloggers who misrepresented a Bloomberg story from Monday that discussed Chrysler’s decision to consider starting Jeep production in China, the world’s largest new-vehicle market. 

That story, while accurate, sparked a raft of other stories and blogs that incorrectly concluded that Chrysler might close plants or move Jeep production from the U.S. to China.
How inspiring to think how this guy will handle a bubble that is even smaller than the one he lives in now.

And of course the Toledo Complex where Jeeps are made is in Ohio.

He's America's premier salesman. He made a cool quarter billion dollars selling investments to the wealthy. And he will say absolutely anything to close the sale.

Desperate much, Mitt?

And here's the first link to the original Rmoney fact checking article.

Bullshitter indeed.

In a few months when the engine starts chugging out gray clouds of oily-smoke, the transmission sounds like a can full of marbles, and the front wheel falls off going down the road, you suddenly realize that the cheap paint job and all the Armor All in the world didn't actually make your new used-car anything other than a piece of rolling junk.

And then you remember the salesman. He was so nice and helpful...told you just what you wanted to hear. He had good teeth, nice hair and a good suit. He seemed so honest and sincere.

Now you have four more years of payments AND a huge repair bill coming up.

Sigh.
