Romney has responded to a recent Obama campaign ad that touted the capture and killing of Osama bin Laden, claiming Romney wouldn't have authorized the raid: Slate. His response, "even Jimmy Carter would have given that order." What a classy guy. Yes, Jimmy Carter had a circumspect, though probably manipulated, record regarding the Iranian hostages that helped Reagan win. And yes, Carter has had the gall to win a Nobel Peace Prize and try to broker peace in Israel. But why beat up the old President who has been a beating post for so long? Romney appears willing to say pretty much anything to win the election -- and many things that could hurt him in the end. One hopes the Obama team pull out the old Huntsman ads and remind voters that Romney changes his mind more often then Charlie Brown.
To boot, after criticizing the President a few months ago for saving the auto industry -- a seemingly terrible idea given how closely contested the Midwest has become -- he now has his version of the external Karl Rove brain, Eric Fehrnstorm claiming that the bailout was all Romney's idea (Crooks & Liars). As usual, the Romney team hopes Americans have historical amnesia, as Romney, in fact, penned a 2008 op ed called "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt" and then reiterated the point in a 2012 piece (see link above for links to articles). And just yesterday, Romney told graduates to be bold and borrow money from their parents. What a great guy ... gee, I hope he wins (dog lover of the year that is).
