Mitt Romney’s stance on the Auto Industry Bailout may just have lost him MI, OH and PA in general election

For those who were so vocal when it came to bailing out the Auto Industry but were not so when it came to bailing out Wall Street, the results of your decision is in and you lose.  If you go back into the archives of tape, you will find many prominent leaders decrying the Auto Industry bailout and lately you have heard Mitt Romney singing the same tune.  Those union workers and all those who support them were very happy to see that the few did not influence the many and they got their bailout.  The largest difference between the banks and the auto industry is that while the banks are still looking to lay off more workers, cut more expenses and grow their profit margins, the auto industry is doing the exact opposite. 

GM and its workers dedicated materials and manpower to re-equip those firefighters who lost their vehicles during the attack of 911.  The union took a severe pay-cuts and a slash in benefits so that this and their company would survive.  Not only have they survived but they have also posted gains and repaying their loan.  GM also has added another shift of workers and has begun to show profit instead of losses.  Chrysler has come back as well after the same union concessions.  Detroit is slowly rebounding and with the reinsurgents of the auto industry is looking to regain its status as the Big Three in the world once again.  Ford is not only looking to ratify its new four year contract with its union but also looking to upgrade several of its American factories and will add another 5,700 new workers real soon.

For Mitt Romney and the rest who refuse to see the impact and the benefits of the auto industry bailout, voters in those states and all those even remotely related will insure that they pay for this blindness at the polls.  To say you believe in the spirit of the American worker while insisting that they did not deserve a chance to show their exceptionalism inspires voters to question how wrong you would be on other decisions you would make as the leader of the free world.    To make matters even worse, this same tact that you took toward the auto industry is not the same that you take toward the Wall Street bailouts and that will make voters even more nervous.   Big money may support campaigns but regardless of how many ads they buy or the message within them, the most feared in all elections should be those who pull that lever, punch that card or color in that circle.  Pay attention students, school is about to be in session and the lesson is about to be taught in a little over a year from now.
