President Obama laughed off Mitt Romney’s suggestion that he deserves credit for Detroit’s recovery, suggesting his Republican rival was flip flopping.
“I think this is one of his etch-a-sketch moments,” Obama told ABC News. “I don’t think anybody takes that seriously. People remember his position, which was, ‘let’s let Detroit go bankrupt.’ Had we followed his advice at that time, Chrysler would have gone under and we would have lost a million jobs throughout the midwest.”
