Undissuaded by the facts, media derision, or the vociferous denials of Chrysler’s CEO, the Romney campaign is continuing to run new advertisements in Ohio claiming that Obama is responsible for a supposed Chrysler plan to outsource Jeep production to China at the cost of U.S. jobs. Talk about chutzpah — Romney’s campaign is attempting to turn its greatest Rust Belt weakness — “Let Detroit Go Bankrupt” — into an electoral advantage...

...Because the truth is that Chrysler has been boosting employment and investment in its North American Jeep factories. And there’s no way of getting around the fact that there wouldn’t even be a Chrysler around to hire new workers at its Toledo Jeep plant (or in China) without Obama’s bailout.
