Could you explain that further? He was equating Govt Motors and the cost cutting they did with general business cost cutting such as what happened at Bain. Maybe we are seeing two different videos?

I think the liberals plot for having 'occupy wall street' was done to activate a national uprising against the supposed 'evil' rich Republicans, namely Romney. As long as I have been watching the political games, liberals always accused that 'corporate' welfare is how Republicans get rich.

I think rather than Romney refute them, he attempted to liken his personal gains as same as Obama using US taxpayers to bail out the auto industry. My objection is that by using this analogy, Romney ignores that what Obama did was not conservative. Notice I have not uttered any negative about Romney's stored up wealth, but that he can hardly get his undies in a wad if any conservative questions his business practices. Because he himself has already questioned his own business practices. We the people, 'government', have NO business bailing out private businesses, else it is NOT free enterprise.

I agree, but that wasn't alluded to in the Hill piece at all.

I think he used an awful analogy in comparing the turn-around efforts of venture capitalists to the stinker known as Govt Motors. However inept of an analogy it might be, it in no way measures up to the "Vulture Capitalist" rhetoric of Newt. Perhaps he can leave that particular TR tendency in the past.
