It is a fact that President Obama ran a reelection campaign that focused on the perceived success of GM and the auto bailouts. His opponent, Mitt Romney, was lambasted for suggesting that the government should not have interfered to the extent that they did in bailing out GM.

During the campaign, Romney's advisors claimed that the GM bailout was his idea. He's not as lily-white as the article portrays.

That said, yet another Obama scandal. Color me surprised.

Whoa! Slow down there, Colonel. Romney was referring to the fact that he said GM should be allowed to go through a managed bankruptcy; NOT that billions of dollars should go to protect UAW interests while bondholders got shafted. And certainly not to help coverup a deadly defect, if that is what happened.
