WATCH: Romney Slammed For Misleading Auto Ad

October 29th, 2012 6:45 pm Henry Decker

The Romney campaign’s latest attempt to obscure its candidate’s true position on the auto bailout appears to be backfiring, as Romney has found himself under fire for releasing one of the least honest ads of the entire 2012 campaign.

As Sam Stein of The Huffington Post explains, the ad uses deceptive wording to obscure both Romney’s and President Obama’s true positions on the auto industry. It says that the president “took GM and Chrysler into bankruptcy,” without mentioning that he also provided government support to help the companies survive the process — or that Romney himself wrote an op-ed titled “Let Detroit Go Bankrupt,” and slammed the bailout as “crony capitalism.” It also cites the Detroit News’ endorsement of Romney as evidence of his support of the auto industry, without mentioning that the endorsement specifically criticized Romney’s “wrong-headedness on the auto bailout.”

Most egregiously, the ad repeats Romney’s lie that Jeep is considering moving its production from Ohio to China — a whopper that Chrysler itself forcefully debunked last week.

While the ad does not flatly lie, as Romney did, it accuses President Obama of selling “Chrysler to Italians who are going to build Jeeps in China.” Left unsaid is the fact that Fiat — the Italian company that owns Chrysler — is expanding production in China to meet rising demand, but not taking a single job out of Ohio in the process.

The Obama campaign swiftly responded to Romney’s misleading ad with a spot of its own, which will run in Ohio.

The ad, titled “Collapse,” points out that Chrysler rebuked Romney’s false claim about Jeep, and notes that Jeep is actually adding jobs in Ohio. “Mitt Romney on Ohio Jobs: wrong then, dishonest now,” the ad concludes.

Former President Bill Clinton also weighed in on the controversy, slamming Romney’s ad as “the biggest load of bull in the world.”

Romney’s reliance on the easily debunked Jeep lie suggests that, as Greg Sargent puts it in The Plum Line, Romney has run out of answers on the auto bailout. Throughout the course of the campaign Romney has attacked the Obama administration’s actions, falsely asserted that he supported early government intervention, and even claimed that Obama followed his advice on how to save the auto industry. None of it has worked, and — largely because of his weak record on the auto bailout — Romney has been unable to move up in the polls in Ohio. Now he’s been reduced to repeating an easily debunked lie in an attempt to scare voters into his camp.

That certainly doesn’t seem like the strategy of a campaign that is confident that it will carry the state.

Such BS, kbcab…I have seen the opposite every day that Barack Obama has been our President of the United States.

You are right, whether he is Muslim, black, red, Mormon or purple; none of this matters. The person and what he stands for and believes in, is what we should be voting on and that is why Barack has my vote.

I would rather have a honest muslim than a lieing mormon like romney.
http://www.facebook.com/maggie.croft.92 Maggie Croft

The truth hurts you lying bully types who resort to nasty name calling. President Obama has never been a Muslim, you racist whack job. He spent the first four years of school: 2 of them in the St. Francis of Assissi Catholic Church and two of them in a public school that said Christian prayers in the mornings. When he lived with his grandparents, they attended the United Christian Church. He continued to attend this church when he was in college and in 1998 joined Reverend Wright’s Baptist Church. He left that church in 2009 and now attends Baptist services at Camp David on Sunday.

I don’t know what church you belong to but it is certainly not Christian as the church I grew up in taught us not to hate and not to lie.

kbcab

He’s a muslim now and has been for a long time , that’s what muslims do , they lie and connive and scheme to convert others or get them to follow their teachings , and one more thing , no one said anything nasty in the comment , so why don’t you think before you accuse…

Actually, the Romney campaign has gone on record defending the lie, asserting that it is “100%” true. They believe, perhaps rightly so, that their base will certainly believe the lie, and quite possibly those who are still undecided will believe it, too.

Anyway, Romney does not believe in “apologizing for America,” and he considers himself and others of his ilk America — unlike the 47%.
mbm

According to Mitt’s supporters, it is the liberal media controlling information. After watching in total dismay Mitt weasel, twist & change the facts, blame & accuse falsely & wondering how a self-proclaimed ‘man of faith’ could lie thru his teeth and live with himself. Fact checkers & reporters have now amassed 34+ volumes chronicling Mitt’s lies, and yet he persistently presses on continuing to obfuscate again and again, while rallying support. His masterful deception has become an art form, placing even consummate politicians into the category of amateur. While I deliberately ignored ‘religion’ as a serious variable until recently, I finally investigated the concept of ‘Lying for the Lord’ a Mormon teaching premise to be used for the ‘greater good’. Finally, it explains it all. The persistent & effortless lies done without conscience or remorse, far beyond the usual political hoodwinking, and the masterful performance guilelessly done for Mitt’s ‘greater good’. Either that or he is a sociopath.

neece00

That is pretty impressive, I thought I knew a lot about the Mormon religion but I missed that one. They actually teach the congregation to lie because it benefits the church. Wow
jarheadgene

I HOPE there are “REAL” Christians reading this and catch some of this. Those Mormon practices of Lying for the Lord is just one more reason to realize that MORMONS ARE NOT CHRISTIANS>…….. I’ll say it again…..MORMONS are NOT Christians. DO NOT VOTE for that LIAR !

But go on, keep telling yourself that the current president is no good… because? He is the wrong color, or has the wrong sounding name so he cannot be American, or wasn’t born a blue blood entitled arrogant prick that you’ve become comfortable seeing in the White House.

I saw a Republican post in response to another article that said “the only thing Republicans can hope for is that Romney loses” and stated that he wants his party back; one that would work with the other side. He wants his party back from the radicals that are controlling it now. As Democrats, we need to be careful to NOT lump all republicans together. There are many out there who do not agree with the direction their party is headed. My take would be “Shame on the Republicans in Congress for allowing themselves to be manipulated by the radical right of their party”. There need to be term limits on the Congress and this will cease to be an issue.

Like I’ve said before, Romney has said he wants to use force in Iran and wants to “get more involved” in Syria. That means he’ll need more of our children for fodder. About 12 million of them.

Grammy, as I have said before, those who want to go to war do not lead the soldiers into battle, nor do thier children serve.

Ann Romney said Mitt’s mission was serving our country and likened it to the war that the VietNam vets served in.

I really, really don’t want that man to win. I think at this point that Sandy may help the president. The whole country can see how the president is handleing it and he’s doing damn good. He is with gov. Christie in NJ now and Christie has praised the President in his speed in helping. And that he is doing everything right. And Mitt is sitting in Ohio collecting can goods which the red cross can’t use and he knows it. Maybe he could go to Mass. and help there, although they would probably throw him out.

Dmullins84

I firmly believe there’s a small minority of Rich Republican Millionaires, and Billionaires, in this country Setting on two Trillion Dollars, working side by side with Wall Street Banker’s and Republican Politicians who have their sites set on bringing down our President, by suppressing the votes this Election, destroying Jobs, and reducing wages holding the Middle Class, and poor afloat. Historically, the Republican Parties have always been closely associated, and in bed with the Wall Street Billionaires who gives them Millions of Campaign Dollar’s every Election buying influence, and access, to get their radical agenda approved. The Democrats, especially the “Blue Dog’s” from Conservative States also deals with these crooks at a smaller scale. These high rollers are supposed to be doing something for the country like creating jobs, and helping the country that provided them with the opportunity to get where they are. Believe me they are not doing that. They are sheltering their monies in off shore and Swiss country Bank accounts to avoid paying taxes to the very country they earned their riches from. I am a retired Military Man and don’t think it’s fair for so few to have so much, and don’t want to pay their fair share. This great country can do better and we need to start now.

This morning on “Morning Joe”, the conservative columnist David Brooks was on, touting why a Romney presidency would probably be more successful than a 2nd term for Obama. It bothered him “a little” that Romney is a flip flopper, and thought it may work to his advantage?!! How’s that for spin? It makes Romney “pragmatic” and he will do what needs to be done. He expects that the Democratic Senate won’t obstruct him as the Repubs did for Obama . (Did he just admit that Democrats are more concerned about the country, thus more patriotic than Republicans?) He expects that the Republicans would continue to obstruct Obama, they would see no reason to go to the center. He never said THAT THEY ARE ALL NUTS. He suspects that romney will be able to accomplish big things. I’m not buying any of it. How can you believe someone who lies with such ease? I could never figure out the unusual amount of hatred for this President. My husband insists it’s all about race. I think it’s because Obama came out of nowhere, and captured the imagination of the people and won the big prize without paying his dues and waiting his “turn”. Ambitious men lust after this prize for years and here is this upstart. It really ticks off the Mitt Romney’s of the country who plan to put people into the presidency when it’s their turn.

neece00

So the Republicans are admitting that they are obstructionist. If Romney gets in, the Democrats will work with him but the Republican won’t work with Barack.

With a 9% approval rating they have to admit it. I read this in the Huf post just yesterday.

Last month, a New York Times poll found that Congress’ approval rating fell to an all-time low of 9 percent. Meanwhile, a recent Gallup poll found that 11 percent of people found polygamy “morally acceptable.” Additionally, 30 percent of Americans expressed approval of pornography.

Since the auto rescue, GM, Ford, and Chrysler are experiencing increases in sales of 10, 13, and 14 percent, respectively.

He is still playing ad spots that lie about the Obama “changes” to Welfare that “drop the work requirements”. Interestingly, Romney supports the Republican governors who asked Obama to make the changes. Romney’s ignorance on foreign policy and the strength of our military was beautifully countered by Obama’s response to Romney’s claim that we had fewer ships than we did in 1916. Obama’s response, “we also have fewer horses and fewer bayonets…” Although we have fewer ships in our Navy today than in 1916,we have more than we did when Obama took office, and our military is better prepared for ANY military need now than during the Bush years.

Mr. Romney has stated that he wants to eliminate capitol gains tax. If I’m not mistaken his taxes last year were all on his capitol gains. In my opinion if he is elected and eliminates capitol gains, he would then pay no tax what so ever. In my opinion everything that Romney spews forth is to quote president Clinton, ” the biggest load of bull in the world”

He should be immediately removed from running and thrown into jail with his other lieing croonies, Bush and Cheney. These men are not True Americans. They extort, manipulate and downright lie. They will stop at nothing to further the benefits for themselves and their croonies regardless of the price the rest of our Citizens will have to pay. They do not represent our American ideology. Romney has sold out American business to China cost jobs to our citizens, while lining his own pockets and this is down right treasonist, in my book. He isn’t fit to be President of our Great Nation. Now again he has crossed the line, with this add!!. Obama is for all Americans. He wants to bring back jobs to our country, improve education, our infrastructure and improve our health care for all. He has done more for America than the whole eight destructive years of the prior administration. RE-Elect President Obama and VP Biden for four more years.

Romney and Ryan have misrepresented and outright lied through every step of this campaign.

Romney refuses to release his tax records, why, simple they demonstrate that he avoids taxes by stretching deductions beyond the law, a trick of the wealthy, knowing that the IRS only sample verifies tax returns and it is laborious to verify complex returns of the wealthy.

In the First Debate Romney steam rolled his way through a litinay of FALSE, untrue claims that are counter to his beleifs and how he would govern, in hopes the less informed voter would accept his deceit, the polls indicate that the low informed accepted his outright lies.

Romney in the last debate again deceived the public claiming he agreed with President Obama on nearly every issue. Let me assure you the Republican Cartel does not agree with President Obama on 98% of the issues, for instance look at what the Republicans in Congress did to hold back our Economic Recovery.

Anyone with an once of brain knows that the Republican Cartel, given the opportunity, will turn our country and our economy back to the same flawed policies that have HAUNTED our economy for decades, Every time the Republicans have been in control our Economy has stagnated to Recession and Unemployment has increased dramaticaly, just an outright FACT.

Another little recognized FACT, the areas of our country where the Republicans dominate the REGISTERED VOTER REGISTRATIONS are the POOREST performing ECONOMIC areas of our country. Unfortunately the LOW INFORMATION REPUBLICAN has been screwing himself ECONOMICALY for years!

Bye and bye, R’money died and went up to meet St. Peter at Heaven’s Gate. What he saw there were lots and lots of clocks hanging around. He asked St. Peter, “What are all the clocks about?”
St. Peter said that each clock represents an individual and the hands indicate how many times a person lies.
R’money points at one clock that had no hands. “Who’s clock is that?” R’money asks. St. Peter says, “Mother Theresa’s . She never lied”.
R’money pointed to another clock where the hands were pointed at 2. “Whose clock is that?” asks R’money. “Abraham Lincoln”, says St. Peter. “He only lied a couple of times.”
“Well, where is my clock?” asks R’money.

St. Peter replies, “Oh, Jesus took that in his office. He’s using it as a ceiling fan.”

Let me be the first to make an observation as a foreigner. If I understand just a teeny weeny bit about the ethics and morality of your two Presidential candidates, Rmoney will see Sandy’s rebuilding as a chance for Wall Street and Corporate America to make money. Obama will see it as proof of the citizens’ will to come together as one and reconstruction as an opportunity for work. Just sayin’….

Jeep has spoken out about Romney stating this in a speech and this ad. Both times, they’ve said it was untrue=lie. Jeep said they were bringing on a third shift of 1,100 jobs at their US plants. They’re in talks with China about opening a plant there to produce right-hand drive jeeps for sale in China. To have Romney and his supporters to continue telling these lies is irresponsible. I shudder at the though of him as president.

It seems that the “Left Leaning Media” is giving Romney a slake, no one is checking his lies, and no one is calling him for his outrageous claims. Even when some of his lies were checked, the facts disappear overnight and he continues with his “BULL” including the 23 million unemployed, and the 9 million job difference between the 5.4% and the 7.8% unemployment, both do not add up.
It is even outrageous when many newspapers endorsed him for these mere lies “He will save the Economy”, without bothering looking at his record, his Vulture “Bain” Capitalism, or his tenure as a Governor of MA, both do not qualify him for the enormous task ahead. His outsourcing of jobs and when he left MA his favorability was in at 30%. His tax cutting in MA resulted in sharp rise in state fees, such as licenses and recording, and other increases that affect the Middle Class more than the rich. Add to this his clownish foreign policy and his lack of knowledge of military and defense.
Romney policies stuck in reverse gear, and does not fit the need of our future. His Ayn Rand views leads only to doom, not prosperity. Cutting the spending on Education, Science, Research, Environment Protection is a Cave era mentality. Cutting Gov spending and cutting taxes will result in shrinking the GDP by a much larger ratio as Gov. spending circulates many times in the national economy.

Mitt’s voters knows well that he is lying, but their dislike/hatred for this President is so inmense that they will rather vote for a liar than vote for a man of integrity. It says a lot of them. Some of them just can’t accept that a man of color is in the White House. What bothers me is that a great number of those folks call themselves Christian and God fearing. What a bunch of hypocrites.

Lying or not, If you can get the job done, i’m voting for you….
What does Obama’s color have to do with anything?
He’s half black and half white. Shouldn’t be anything about color. Or is it for you?

JLP, so this is the level of your mentality?

If you can go back that far.. What their doing now is what they continually stated they would do, “Anybody But Obama!”.. When they yelled this, they took into account ANYONE.. from Donald Duck to the clown of lies (remember the incarcerated felon that the pubs gravitated toward for fifteen minutes?). They even made it their war cry.. Small wonder no one can use logic and truth to dissuade these idiots, they’re simply dinosaurs awaiting their demise and they want to go out with notoriety, much like serial killers and yellow bellied assassins.

OMG!!!! Both sides lie!!!! This is a race for the presidency!!!!! You’re all stupid!!!! Obama lies too!!! One of his ads say he’s brought our heros home from war: I find this funny, since my husband just got deployed………

Romney is as full of sheet as a Xmas turkey! Everything that comes out of his piehole aims below the belt. If the American public is worried about it’s children being bullied, they should consider themselves. Do not be fooled American public! These are the tactics of a bully.

WOW!!!!!! Please don’t vote….

JLP, I do appreciate that your husband is doing his duty to the country and I salute him. But think about your candidate that you are supporting, he does not know the meaning of telling the truth. He is a mean spirited, bully,arrogant, patronizing person who has never in his life known the meaning of serving his country.

is that supose to scare us not vote like all teabagger do try to scare us well it not working.

grammyjill

I am sorry your husband got deployed. I sorta know what that feels like but from a Mom’s angle. But you have to look at the bigger picture. Obama said, and it is in writing, that all of the troops will be home by the end of 2014. Romney wants to stay there longer. He also wants to use force in Iran and he wants to go into Syria. With the current president, your husband will come home and stay here. With Romney, home may only be a short visit.
I am voting to keep my son home.

Green: Dems want us to go green, have you noticed the price tag on all the “Green” stuff they want us to buy??????? Can the middle class afford that? Our taxes will be raised, no matter whose in office, yet I personally won’t see a raise in my paycheck. Will you?

This is the only thing that the GOP does well……tell a lie long enough and soon the people will believe it.

Once again Romney shins the light on Barak’s endless attempt to send more US jobs overseas while using taxpayer $$$. GM now produces 7 out of every 10 vehicles some where other than the US and is in the process of moving its R&D to China..not my words but the head of GM.
Jeep is in fact planning on shifting more of their production to China that’s also a fact.
Just like the shovel ready jobs that has been a boon to China. Jobs in the US???? Not on your life

you got that right.

Come on Mitt, You are standing before your elders. You can’t lie. Yet you will ie when you tell the elders you do not touch yourself. Everything i read about Romney is lies and more lies.

No, the “biggest load…” was the one Bill Clinton was caught shooting down the throat and onto Monica Lewinsky’s little polka dot dress.

And did you see the photo of Hillary scoping out the beautiful breasts of Christine Aguilar? I swear she had an erection.

The point is, both of the Clinton’s are narcissistic psychopaths as are the Obama’s, or whatever their name is.

It’s natural that psychopaths would have a coven to protect and promote the other.

The problem is ordinary people can’t see beyond celebrity and into the pit where these people really live.

I want the Obama’s and the Clinton’s and their coven out of my country!

No, dhimmi, speaking solely for myself, it IS my country! There is no such thing as “our” that you can speak for. There is only you and the sea of ignorance where you reside.

Apparently, you are familiar with psychopaths because you know so many.

Unfortunately I know how to recognize a psychopath. There are many more around than you can imagine.

I can tell by your snide attitude you’re dying to be a psychopath’s bitch.

Who is Clinton to say that Romney gave us the biggest Bull. Geezus, the biggest Bull on the American people was perpetrated by Clinton in his infamous statement, ” I did not have sex with that woman.” And yet, all you people that hover around Clinton and follow him like an idiot believe in what he says….the biggest bull shit politician of them all is Clinton and Obama…….nothing more and nothing less.

grammyjill

We happen to be a little more grown up than you. I don’t give a damn who he was screwing. I hired him to do a job, which he did very well. Obama is following a proven plan and also doing a very good job. Romney, on the other hand, was a really lousy governor. He did as governor alot of really sucky things. I don’t want him to have the chance to undo everything good that has been done. We are finally pulling up out of the whole the republicans put us in and I don’t want Romney and his ilk to push us back over the edge. And they will!
http://profile.yahoo.com/ZEDCQ4URHFFCKH5THB4DT3G54M Brian

Yes, Clinton lied about (not even) screwing a woman. RMoney lies to screw the whole nation.

ransol, there are ten commandments, not one. Number 9 is bearing false witness. It also says if you break one of the commandments you have broken them all. I would never have believed that a party would be a party of liars, but Romney’s taking liberties with the truth makes him an adulterer also. right wing posters on this board with their obvious lies is convincing me that Republicans are liars. BTW, I am not a Democrat. I don’t believe in any party as the division is hurting this country.

zeb01

FOX entities will not even show Newt Gingrich’s primary statements calling Romney a liar and stating that “You cannot have an honest debate with Mitt Romney because he doesn’t tell the truth.” It’s unbelievable that the Obama campaign and the Democrat Super-Pacs have not inundated the swing states with ads denoting Gingrich’s statements that are all over Youtube.

Romney is a liar, period!! By now, we all KNOW he will say or do anything to get to the White House!! The man outright lies; does he really believe the 99 percent of Americans are stupid, uneducated, and that they don’t know anything????? He already believes 47 percent are mooches and take no responsibility for their lives and emphasized his job was NOT to worry about them!! It is clear to me that Romney, indeed, thinks the people that make up the 99 percent (THE NONE WEALTHY) are stupid, uneducated, and that we cannot tell the difference between facts and HIS lies and distortions. The guy is NOT fit to be President, if he had it his way, he would have a nation of nothing but millionaires and billionaires!!! Think, people, Romney is NOT for the people, he is for the MONEY and how much more he can add to his coffers!!!

why does part of the people say they are going to vote for this liar is just unbelieveable to me. My grandaughter can point him out as the guy who fired big bird and she is 3yrs old. now if she can see through him for what he is why can’t the adults?

ayayaboy

I really cannot understand how people follow a shameless liar who keeps lying each and everyday? What are those who follow romney around thinking? Romney as far as we know him in Massachussetts sees lying like a routine exercise in a gym. Just see how many lies romney has publicly told between primaries and now. It’s shameful to watch romney’s lies and flipflopping televised abroad.

Romney’s Dad George Romney made a crap company called AMC….it bought Jeep and Harley Davidson and came up with the brilliant Gremlin. Mitt bought out Gateway Computers and used his father’s MO……namely hiring cheap temporary workers unskilled and uncaring, even to the point of using failed and used parts. After his consultant companies soaked up retirement funds, state and federal aid dollars, he parted out the result of scrap to China. Now, Gateway is a China company…..Bain and Mitt laughed all the way to the bank and ridiculed those who lost jobs as the insignificant 47%. No one wants those and the companies that bought them back hide those vehicles and products as something from the industrial dark ages of Republican rule.

Americans are intelligent and capable of analyzing fairly the rhetorics (both politicians and the media) as to truth and lies. Thank God majority voted for the truth!
