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. |
Gm announced they are hiring 10,000 more.

Computerworld - General Motors, which is insourcing the majority of its IT work, Friday said it is hiring 500 IT positions in Austin to staff a new "innovation center."
The announcement is part of far-reaching GM plan to hire as many as 10,000 IT workers worldwide over the next three to five years as the automaker takes work back from outsourcers, the company said.
Austin was picked to house one of several planned new centers because it "already has people with the skills GM is seeking," the company said. GM based that assertion on U.S. Labor Dept. data showing that employment in IT-related occupations at about 46,000 in the Austin area.
Alan Adler, a GM spokesman, said the company won't yet specify the number of centers it eventually hopes to open.
GM's IT reorganization is led by Randy Mott, a former CIO at Hewlett-Packard and Dell. Mott previously spent more than two decades at Wal-Mart in a number of IT roles, including CIO.
"We plan to rebalance the employment model over the next three years so that the majority of our IT work is done by GM employees focused on extending new capabilities that further enable our business," Mott said in a statement.
Mott's was named CIO of GM in February.
General Motors is posting a flurry of IT jobs on its Web site.
