Romney camp now taking credit for auto bailout

For much of the Republican presidential primary and twice in separate op-eds over the past four years, Mitt Romney attacked President Barack Obama for bailing out the auto industry.

As of Saturday the Romney campaign looks like it's flipping the script.

"[Romney's] position on the bailout was exactly what President Obama followed. I know it infuriates them to hear that," Eric Fehrnstrom, senior adviser to the Romney campaign, said.

"The only economic success that President Obama has had is because he followed Mitt Romney's advice."

What Romney once called "crony capitalism" is now "economic success."

Omg.
