No he didn't

He wanted to wait till they went bankrupt then bail them out, instead he wanted to use the money to invest in research.
Listen to me very carefully... He was against the GM bailout.

Here is exactly what he wrote:

IF General Motors, Ford and Chrysler get the bailout that their chief executives asked for yesterday, you can kiss the American automotive industry goodbye. It won?t go overnight, but its demise will be virtually guaranteed.

Here's the full article that Mitt himself wrote:

And that's what we'll get with Mitt. That's what he does, his entire business history - Wait until the shit hits the fan, buy it cheap, and then pray he can fix it. He made bank doing it too, never mind the people that lost jobs or companies that no longer exist because of Romney.

On top of that, look at GM now. I just read this morning that GM had their most profitable year ever in 2011? And they paid all of the loan back? (Okay, most of the loan and some stock, which means the government make money here.)

Your on the wrong side of this. Your telling us we need to drill more, not invest in electric cars, and now your telling us we should have let one of the largest employers in the US go bankrupt before taking action. That's brilliant right there.
