Ahhh, so THIS is Mittens’ plan to win the state he very much needs to win, Michigan: Driving around in a motorcar, through the “real streets” where he proudly lived before decamping to the mansions of Belmont, Massachusetts. “This is personal,” he says about winning Michigan. And did you know that Detroit was in great shape before the Obama administration came to power? You learn a lot from serial liars.

The only way Rmoney is gonna be a live President is to be throwing Dead Presidents out of his window as he drives through. The Poorz don't need no Grey Poupon.
I'd like to see his dog driving and Mitt on top of the car in a cage.
He would Romney his pants before the quarter mile marker.
No Romney!
I really think that euphemism would be better with Mitt.
Thinking about it: "He totally mitt his pants. It was such a mittstorm."
Dude is a total mitt-for-brains.
Am I too late to wish you a continued recovery, and Happy Valentine's Day?
Hey Sugar! I am taking a bite out of candies in a red heart shaped box and throwing them out, lol. How the hell did it make it down to nothing but shittified maple creams already?
Jeff is back at work today and I can't make it down the stairs to forage for food, lol.
Happy Valentine's Day to you, AlterNewt!
So you already ate the cancer? http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_uri=%2F&gl…
Then, for the piece de resistance, I'd like to see the dog hose Mittens down after he loses his shit on top of that car.
Is this a super Tuesday or just an average Tuesday?
There's only been one Super Tuesday – Ms. Weld.
If the vote is between Romney, Santorum and Gingrich, it's definitely a below-average Tuesday.
Deported from Detroit!
To show how in touch he is with the average American, he's going to drive a Cadillac.
If it's good enough for a Reagan welfare queen….
Probably not going to be a Gran Torino.
Too I-talian sounding…
Did Michael Moore direct that, or was Mitt taking scenes from Roger and Me?
That shot of young Willard behind the wheel enabled me, for the first time, to actually relate to the guy – the first car I stole was also a '55 Chevy.
Darrell Issa, is that you?
I think I was conceived in a '55 Chevy.
Oh shit. What state?
Inebriation, of course.
When he drives through Grosse Pointe everyone will point out how gross this is.
Where's Seamus?
Seamus is dead, Sheriff. Seamus is dead.
Whereever he's driving in the first scene, that ain't Michigan, at least not recently. Note the green deciduous trees.
So it's just like the J. Lo commercial where she drives around the Bronx, but it's actually LA and they Photoshopped her in.
“This is personal,”. Good, you pernicious jackhole, let's hope it hurts all the more when you lose. (Happy Valentines Day?)
And just what could this moron possibly say about the automobile industry recovery? So out of touch. "Say, Detroit, how about them Packers?"
He'll say this while wearing a Patrick Kane Sweater.
Mittens knows about fudge packers.
You mean Packards, right?
Mitt, you are gonna need an 18-wheeler to stop the Santorum cavalcade.
With a snowplow.
It's amazing: they can shout a whole video in and around Detroit and not show one blah person. And, also, too, Detroit has been sliding for at least three decades and yet somehow it's Obama's fault.
Bailing out the auto industry absolutely destroyed Detroit and I'm glad we have Mittens to show us the error of our ways.
The auto industry would be thriving today were it not for the bailout! Well the Japanese and Korean auto industries would be since they'd have less competition since all three big US automakers would no longer exist.
At least they would be rid of that pesky U.A.W. once and for all.
Funny, no shots of him passing by the mosques of Dearborn, either.
They must have got the same ad agency that did those "Imported from Detroit" Chrysler 300 ads without showing one bit of urban blight.
Why would you put blah people in this? It's not a hip-hop video!
Detroit's been sliding for at least six decades.
A Romney commercial about Detroit is the political ad equivalent of a Pat Boone cover of a Temptations song.
Oddly enough, he was a Chevrolet spokesman for a lot of years. I used to party with his two middle daughters before the whole damned clan went full re+ard, good times.
Well I’m sure that ad will make the good people of Detroit forget all about his earlier ad that made Detroit look like something out of Blade Runner.
Robocops I, II and III were set in Detroit (but filmed in Houston for some reason, at least the first one was) and the city looked, well, like Detroit.
i love that movie. we just rewatched it. so good.
The way Mitt sees it, Detroit was exciting when he was the richest kid in town.
William Clay Ford, Jr. would like to have a word with you…
I haven't watched yet, so let me guess first—1959 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud II Convertible?
American Motors built all their cars in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Jackhole.
The disturbing part was when he stopped to pick up Karen Santorum thumbing for a ride under the highway overpass.
Did she mistake him for a passing humanist?
Maybe Eminem will do an ad for him; Mitt needs a smidge more street cred.
Well, I'm packin' up my game an' I'm a head out west
Where real women come equipped with scripts an' fake breasts
Find a nest in the hills, chill like Flint
Buy an old drop top, find a spot to pimp
An' I'm a Kid Rom it up an' down your block
With a bottle of scotch an' watch lots of crotch
Buy yacht with a flag sayin' 'Chillin' the most'
Then rock that bitch up an' down the coast
Give a toast to the sun, drink with the stars
Get thrown in the mix an' tossed out of bars
Zip to Tijuana, I wanna roam
Find Motown an' tell them fools to come back home
Start an escort service for all the right reasons
An' set up shop at the top of Four Seasons
Kid Rom an' I'm the 'Real McCoy'
An' I'm headin' out west, sucker because I wanna be a
President, baby
With the top let back an' the sunshine shinin'
President, baby
West coast chillin' with the Boone's Wine
Much more appropriate. Bob Ritchie, like Mitt Romney, is a suburban Michigan Fauntleroy.
What? No clips of him navigating the roads of France?!
There was footage, but somehow it all got destroyed just after the accident.
"I remember growing up poor in Michigan. Daddy could barely make ends meet, but we were so poor we didn't notice. We were poor, the maid was poor, the butler was poor, the three cooks were poor. Heck, only the Union bosses got to eat meat!
" I'm a Democrat! "
" May I ask the gentleman why he is a Democrat? "
" My grandfather was a Democrat; my father was a Democrat; and I am a Democrat. "
" My friend, suppose your grandfather had been a jackass, and your father was a jackass, what would you be? "
" A Republican! "
The fundamentals of the American economy were strong before Obama put his hat in the ring. Damn that unaccomplished community organizer, he's sinking this ship and leading in the wrong direction all these three years and whatnot.
Ya know, I have a question. Why the fuck is he running? What does he get out of it? He's obviously uncomfortable having to wear such casual clothes. He'd much rather be sitting in his office in a 3-pc suit, slamming 7-Ups and buying and selling and destroying people's lives. What makes Mitt run?.
Daddy issues.
Yep. Just like Dubya. He's so obviously wanting to surpass a daddy who was always too busy for him, it's not even funny.
"What makes Mitt run?"
A compact flux capacitor?
Narcissism.
Spicy food?
With Replicants, it's ALL about Winning!….there is no What….
An arc reactor?
AA batteries
Needs more Clint Eastwood…kicking the shit out of Mittens.
Needs moar dog on car roof. Also, that photo of Mitt with daddy is from the '64 World's Fair in NY, so WTF?
George is pointing out the GM Futurama to Mitt in that picture.
Mitt, Clint Eastwood would like a word with you.
He should be forced to watch, Clockwork Orange style, We take care of our own.
This tone deaf horses ass is probably going to drive around in a Mercedes or BMW.
Worse–a Chrysler. Fiat. Whatever. Anyway, it's the one built in Canada by the company that wouldn't exist but for Obama's bailout.
Hey, Romney, you fucktard, if you are going to slam the bailout, maybe you should, you know, drive a Ford in your Detroit Shame Tour?
My Chrysler product was made in Mexico, Just like Mitten's daddy.
"When my dad was the governor, things were good. MC5, Barry Gordy and all that. Now things suck. Why? Obama!"
Oh, look, a recut of that video he posted last year. Funnily enough, he cut out the part about the auto bailouts not helping Detroit.
But this time *looks into camera, takes off sunglasses* it's personal.
YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAH!
Is it halftime for the GOP primaries yet?
Well, if the Monopoly Man wants to drive around Detroit, it better be in a '37 Bugatti like the real monopoly game.
…feeling strange and disheveled
past the abattoirs and the glory holes
like a film noire in the starring role
to the side streets
kept my nose clean
tasted beautiful
tasted obscene
singing Rom Rom Rom-Rom Rom-Rom-Rom…
I think it was Steve Benen who pointed out to all these assclowns, (and that hack, Joe Doucheborough), that the America they all long for and want to "restore" and "take back", "real Murican values" and all that rot, (the mid 50's -mid 60's), had extremely librul fiscal policy, and the wealthy were taxed out the ass.
There was a very nice bit about that in "Capitalism: a love story".
And Americans had real manufacturing jobs.
Yeah, but the difference is that they weren't obligated to share it with, or interact in any meaningful way with, the Blahs, which is what they really want to overturn. What they really like about the time is the image; you know, when "people knew their place."
From the serial liar link:
Some fudge the facts. But every fact Mitt the fudgepacker touches turns to fudge (or something resembling it).
This is the fucking fuck who said the auto industry should just go ahead and fail, and he has the fucking gall to say that Obama, who bailed out the auto industry, did nothing. What a fucking liar. Also too.
I bet George made Willard drive a Rambler Classic back in the day and Mitt thought he was real cool driving it.
I'm thinking Pacer or Gremlin, since Dad was the head of AMC. Definitely NOT an AMX/Javelin. Maybe a Matador.
I think that Romney was out of the picture by the time they started making Javelins and Gremlins and such. My first car was a 1968 Javelin that I bought from a guy who grew up in Kenosha, he had put a bunch of AMX stuff on it like hi-performance gauges and fiberglass bumper and shit. It was a very cool car.
Willard strikes me of more of an Ambassador driver.
I think what Mitt doesn't get is that for everybody involved in the auto industry in Detroit and in Michigan, this is personal too.
This is because he's too afraid to get out of the car in Michigan.
And really, is he going to point at people on the street while saying, "It wasn't my idea for you to have a job."
If Mitt is the driver, the American people are Mary Jo Kopechne.
Mass Libel!
Ain't Too Proud
I like. how the. Mitt. audio. is spliced together. throughout. Press One. to lose. your home. state.
I don't think it's spliced. I think he might really talk that way.
What he means is his limo will be driving through Grosse Point to show his sons where their less affluent relatives live.
Haha, Lakeshore Drive is sooo declasse.
No snark, I listened to that ad twice, and I have to believe Mittens isn't even trying anymore. The ad is totally incoherent, says nothing except that he lived there once upon a time, and oh, by the way, OBAMA! Even the brain-dead teatards have to take this as an insult to their "intelligence".
In Mitten's frittata robot mind, he believes that this will be inspiring like On the Road By Jack Kerouac instead it will be like National Lampoon's Vacation except worse as there is no Christie Brinkley and Wally World was closed down and bulldozed two years earlier by Bane Venture Capital.
I'd love to take him on a drive through Michigan….'course, he'd have to ride shotgun and keep both barrels loaded..
If it were up to Mittens, the Chrysler 300 he's actually driving in this video would never have been built. Asshole.
Sure it would have been… overseas…
The dogs of Michigan must be scared as hell. Someone should contact the Humane Society.
I can't remember if anyone has posted a link yet, but here's what Mitt had to say in an Op-ed in today's Detroit News. To say he's doubling down on the NYT editorial is putting it mildly – he's going full wingnut. He seems to have calculated that he needs to win the primary in this state so badly he's prepared to write off Michigan in the general election altogether.
http://www.detroitnews.com/article/20120214/OPINI…
Everyone in Michigan except the wingnuts who believe only what they want to believe recognizes every line of this as utter bullshit. The unions are the enemies, the unions cashed in…. Unbelievable. Without the unions bending over to the point of breaking – taking over the entire health care obligations of the big three (Ford included) in return for a pittance lump sum that doesn't come close to actuarially adequate. Not to mention the fact that if the company had gone into ordinary bankrupcy – and been torn apart of course – the pension obligations would end up on the books of — that's right, Mitt, the evil Federal government, who insures these things.
As it happens, my son is on a sports team with one of the very top executives of one of the big three. Suffice it to say you would recognize his name. No liberal he. But on the subject of unions – or at least the UAW – he has been very plain that without the UAW's cooperation and collaboration over the last ten years, none of the Detroit auto companies would exist, and he sees the UAW as a partner. (Not because of the shares, but because they all recognize they are in it together. The sight of the scaffold sharpening the mind, and all that.)
For f*ck's sake Mitt, this story is so obviously wet tissue-paper that it falls apart in the hands. If this was all an Obama gimmick to reward faithful contributors, then why did the most conservative Canadian government in 80 years* do exactly the same thing? Elections in Canada are not the orgies of cash that they are in the US (no Citizens united, public funding, etc.). And the Unions are politically tied to the NDP. In fact, the most Conservative government in 80 years actually held on to the shares they got, selling them slowly, so as not to depress the market, and get a better return. Something the American government would have done too if it didn't have a mob of Congressional lunatics and pathologically dishonest opportunists like you shouting "Socialist! Government Motors!" to every microphone within arms reach.
* i.e. since Borden.
Drive that shit over to a union factory, pussy.
Yes. Yes, plus about 20 million.
Well good luck with that plan, Mittens. I think Chrysler already told you what they think about you in that two minute Superbowl ad. Now get off the property. You don't live there anymore.
Montgomery Burns: "Fill it up with petroleum distillate and revulcanize the tires, post-haste!"
Somehow that's the image that pops into my mind.
Detroit's been in trouble since at least 1967. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1967_Detroit_riot
I don't know about you guys, but this nomination process has been the most fun I've had in a long time. And yes, I realize that says much more about me than the contents of the clown car.
Um, is it me or does Mittens' voice sound like Microsoft Sam?
After this video finished, one of the suggested YouTube videos has a freeze frame of a couple wearing Temple garments. Now I can't stop thinking of Mitt driving around in his holy underpants.
Mittens, dad would be so proud of you, NOT!
Notice how he's in the car the entire time. I dare this bastard to go ring a door bell in Metro Detroit, whether it be the city, itself, or in his hometown of Bloomfield Hills, and see the reaction he gets.
You gave up on Michigan once to go make money. And, well, that can be forgiven since tons of people have done that in recent decades. You will not be forgiven for fucking us over the second time.
