WOW..."Romney’s critics have accused him of destroying jobs in order to increase profits for his investment firm, Bain Capital, but speaking Wednesday on CBS, Romney said that what he did was no different from the Obama administration’s auto industry bailouts.

“In the general election I’ll be pointing out that the president took the reins at General Motors and Chrysler – closed factories, closed dealerships laid off thousands and thousands of workers – he did it to try to save the business,” Romney said Wednesday on CBS.

Romney likens work at Bain Capital to Obama’s auto industry bailout

Yup that’s an example of Romney’s view on “free-market” capitalism. He believes Obama’s takeover of GM was a great idea. He also still says TARP and the bailouts were absolutely necessary and that Obama’s stimulus was the right idea. And he does believe that government is going to have to do something about global warming. He is without a doubt a big government solutions guy. Not an ounce of free-market conservatism in his body. Repeal ObamaCare (his own bastard brainchild)? Riiiight.

That sort of pabulum sure as hell is not how you take the battle to the current enemy.

Interestingly, Romney sang a more critical tune in 2009, as the GM bailout was going down:

But, then, tune versatility is Romney's true forte.
