Did Mitt Romney get a big bailout from Tarp?

See, sometimes it does matter what the meaning of ‘is’ is.

Perhaps this is a conflation with the huge federal bailout that he depended on when he “saved” the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City:

“Without question, we simply could not host Games in Salt Lake if it were not for the enormous spending and services of the federal government,” Romney had said in a 2001 testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee during a hearing around cooperation between federal, state, local and private agencies for the Salt Lake City Olympics.

“When I came to the Games two years ago, following the revelations of bid impropriety, there was nothing which caused greater anxiety than whether or not we could count on this critical federal support,” he said, before thanking both the Clinton and Bush administrations for being involved with his committee’s planning efforts “every step of the way.”

If it’s not obvious, Telemark, the OP does not believe a word of what he’s typing.

It wasn’t, thanks.

When was the last time you heard somebody serious talking about the birth certificate?
