"Obama took GM and Chrysler into bankruptcy" WTF - Obama bailed them out so they wouldn't go bankrupt.
Most people were against it but he helped them out anyway to keep them afloat and their workers employed. So how does this attack make any sense?

"I'm Mitt Romney, and though I didn't read this message, I approve of it anyway."

Chrysler DID go through Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. A foreign auto manufacturer bought the majority of the shares from the U.S. (Fiat) and the new chairman of the newly formed Chrysler Group, LLC has said that they will be moving "Jeep output" to China as demand rises. >> ^Sagemind:

Also, Fiat said they "may eventually make all of [Jeep's] models in [China]."

I don't think that this was an attempt at deception by the Romney campaign, but the result of a VERY poorly worded article. The reporter meant to say that Jeep will be manufacturing Jeeps in China for the Asian market, and that all Jeep models may be available to Asian consumers at some point.

@deedub81 I absolutely think they ran with a story that followed their narrative, in spite of facts. They were corrected after Romney brought it up at a rally, and then they ran with it and created a 30 second TV spot to double-down on the falsehood.

It's also causing a serious back-lash in the state that it was most carefully constructed to manipulate:

It's the typical Republican playbook, attack where you are the weakest. Lie so often, so loudly, and so blatantly that eventually you can browbeat the public into believing your nonsense.

It worked on Kerry.

If low information voters decide the election then you don't really need to worry about putting out ads that are factually acurate - because they won't check it and won't hear that its misleading from any other sources.

I sometimes wonder what the results of the election would look like if to vote you needed to pass a basic quiz on some irrefutable political facts. Like, idk, where was Obama born for instance.

OK, Chrysler went bankrupt and had to be bought out to survive - I may be corrected (and that's fine) but my point has still been made. Obama didn't make them go bankrupt (he kept people employed) - Obama did what he could to stop them from dissolving altogether. He could have done nothing and watched every Chrysler employee loose their jobs, from the factories, to the mechanics to the sales teams, to all the little companies that manufacture parts.

A few years back, we had a factory in my town as well. White Western Star. They manufactured diesel trucks and they were the largest employer in town.

They were bought out by Freightliner (a US company - a foreign company) a subsidiary of Daimler Trucks, (A German company - also a foreign company).

The factory was shut down when Freightliner acquired them. Putting half the town out of business that catered parts and services to the factory. Times were tough and we are still recovering.

My point is, I know how it could have gone in the US and on a much larger scale. Obama didn't let this happen. But Romney is making it look like Obama was the one at fault here - which is pure lies.
