Temo: Re: Less than a week to go, but there is still time for the president to pull one more boneheaded stunt before the election.
(V): The Toledo Blade reports on the latest turn of the screw in the auto-related debate that has overshadowed the final week of the race in Ohio:
Chrysler Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne circulated an email to Chrysler Group LLC employees today strongly restating the automaker's promise that it will not move existing U.S. production of Jeeps to China.
In the email, Mr. Marchionne said he felt obligated to again address the company's production plans over continuing "public debate."
The note did not directly reference politics or the presidential election, but Chrysler's plans for Jeep have become a major political talking point over the past week, especially in Ohio. Speaking in Defiance last week, Republican candidate Mitt Romney seized on a misrepresentation of a Bloomberg story, suggesting that Chrysler was considering moving existing Jeep production to China.
Romney has stuck with the Jeep-related line of attack against Obama, though in a modified form that only implies — rather than stating explicitly — that Chrysler might move jobs from Ohio to China. It's a decision that has puzzled Republicans both in and outside Ohio: after letting Obama dominate the auto-bailout debate on the airwaves for months, Romney has re-engaged the auto fight at the last minute on less-than-firm footing, with an attack that now has Chrysler weighing in against him.

The Col: One wonders if it's gonna be another Bush job if he gets elected.. or worse... RaYgUn.
My fav Romney quotes at the mo...
"I believe in an America where millions of Americans believe in an America that’s the America millions of Americans believe in. That’s the America I love"
"My dad, as you probably know, was the governor of Michigan and was the head of a car company. But he was born in Mexico... and had he been born of, uh, Mexican parents, I'd have a better shot at winning this. But he was unfortunately born to Americans living in Mexico. He lived there for a number of years. I mean, I say that jokingly, but it would be helpful to be Latino." -Mitt Romney, in leaked comments from a Florida fundraiser, May 17 2012

(V): i don't see how the term "flip flopper" can ever be used again after he transformed it into an artistic form of expression.I don't know who is going to win the election, but the precedent he has set for changing his positions will change how future candidates run in the future.Clearly he has little respect for the intelligence of the voters
Both candidates seem to miss any mention of gun control. Guess saying people should be limited to buying under 1000 rounds at a time is just too much!!
