DETROIT—When Mitt Romney regaled a Michigan audience this week with childhood memories of a landmark moment in Detroit history, it was a rare instance of emotional candour.
And, perhaps, an even rarer example of time travel.
Romney recalled he was “probably 4 or something like that†the day of the Golden Jubilee, when three-quarters of a million people gathered to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the American automobile.
“My dad had a job being the grandmaster. They painted Woodward Ave. with gold paint,†Romney told a rapt Tea Party audience in the village of Milford Thursday night, reliving a moment of American industrial glory.
The Golden Jubilee described so vividly by Romney was indeed an epic moment in automotive lore. The parade included one of the last public appearances by an elderly Henry Ford.
And it took place June 1, 1946 — fully nine months before Romney was born.
Who doesn't remember when they were born, or how old they are? Who vividly remembers something when they were that young, even if it were true?
Equally strange is why the US media seems to have completely skipped over this story.

You want more crap like this to hit the media? You are exactly the type of person that turns the political climate into garbage.
Less frivolous noise and more focus on legitimate issues please.

Meanwhile Santorum is calling the Dems for help!
http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/02/santorum-campaign-invites-democratic-votes-in-michigan-robo-call/
"Santorum, who is locked in a tight race with Mitt Romney here, has paid for robo-calls inviting Democrats to cross-over and vote for him."
Republicans are fun to watch!

I'm going to go ahead and venture a guess and say this is the first time in recorded history a campaigning politician has lied.

ARE YOU CRAZY??
You think it's "crap" when the media points out that a CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT is LYING DIRECTLY in his speeches? This is what the media is supposed to do!
It's highly amusing to me that you think holding politicians to account for saying the things they say is 'turning the political climate to garbage'. What is garbage is that you are upset by the media coverage, and not by the lie itself.

He probably heard the story of the event so many times as a kid that he now remembers it as if he was there. Memories are funny like that.

Sorry, kid. I've never voted for a Republican in my entire life. I hope Romney dies in a fire. That being said, I'm going to venture a guess and say that this is the first time in recorded history a campaigning politician has lied.
