As seen on The Fix:
2012 Like It's Tomorrow: Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney (R) debuted the idea of disbursing government-owned GM stock to American taxpayers during an interview on "Fox News Sunday" -- an idea that will go nowhere but is meant as counter-programming to the Obama administration by the likely 2012 candidate. "You don't want politics directing American corporations," Romney told "FNS" host Chris Wallace. "That whole approach, which obviously is one that Barack Obama is wedded to, is the wrong approach for America." None other than Jack Welch, the former GE chairman, offered approving words for such a plan tweeting: "Nice idea on spinning off Gvt. shares in GM." (Said tweet was immediately retweeted by Romney adviser Eric Fehrnstrom.) Romney, as he told the Fix in a recent interview, has clear ideas on the American auto industry -- his father was the governor of Michigan -- and so you can expect him to speak out repeatedly on the issue over the coming weeks and months. Romney is also ramping up his attack on Obama's national security approach with an address at the conservative Heritage Foundation today. Romney is slowly but surely seeking to fill the leadership void atop the Republican Party -- doing any number of things publicly (and behind the scenes) to make sure he is seen as first in line for the right to challenge Obama in three years time.
