	You do realize the frontal lobe of the cerebral cortex allows us to store and recall information right?	88 votes	85%
	Romney deserves credit for Obama's accomplishments, and if we elect him, we'll be sure to give it to him.	15 votes	15%

It’s a common thing for a presidential candidate to pontificate about an issue of the day. It’s quite another for one to take credit for something he had no discernible role in.

But that isn’t stopping Mitt Romney. On Monday, in an interview with Cleveland‘sWEWS-TV, Romney said, “I’ll take a lot of credit” for the revival of the Detroit companies that went through federally sponsored bankruptcies.

As Justin Hyde onMotoramic put it, “It’s too bad for Romney that Al Gore invented the Internet so we could keep track of what actually happened.”

This doesn't surprise me at all. All of us know he was against it from the beginning. Let the the auto industry go bankrupt. This guy will say anything to gain a vote. People remember and he won't get away with this crap.

That is so lame for him to take credit. He was blatant about the fact that we should let the auto industry going bankrupt. Doesnt he know that everything he says and writes will come back to haunt him?

They are counting on half of the citizens not paying attention to politics, but I think people are paying attention, especially since Obama was elected. And they are counting on republicans keeping the house and taking the senate so they can privatize education so that some wont have the funds to go to school. They want to dumb down America.

Romney is proving to be a bigger joke than McCain. He has been running for president for 5 years, and he must now be brain dead if he thinks he can get away with spinning all his previous positions.

Do you think he is so out of touch with the people to think that we don't keep up. He doesn't seem to know about the internet and TV. The guys a nutball.

Like I keep saying, the guy is just completely clueless about what comes out of his mouth, and he isn't even making sense to a lot of his base. He is a chameleon.

I think he does it because he believes the average voter to be stupid. We are smarter than he knows, at least some of us.

His arrogance is what comes across to me the most. He thinks he can have the presidency because he wants it. He appears to think that everyone is there to serve him. I don't think he has a prayer against Obama.

This, coming from the same guy who advocated against the loans to the Big 3. Do I have to bring out the link to the NYT OP-ED he wrote?

Edited to include the URL to Mitt's Op-Ed where he said "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt."
