My 1st diary. Almost like stepping on stage that 1st time, but scarier!

I haven't seen any mention of this as of yet on DKos.

This afternoon, UAW President Bob King is holding a "news conference on Mitt Romney's conflicts of interest with his investments, including his profiting from the auto bailout".

According to the article on Greg Palast's website Mitt Romney learned yesterday the he will be "charged with violating the federal Ethics in Government law by improperly concealing his multi-million dollar windfall from the auto industry bail-out." The use of the word 'charged' is Mr. Palast's choice, not mine. In the article's however, its much clearer. There is a complaint being filed by a group of union leaders and workers. They have called upon the "U.S. Office of Government Ethics to investigate GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney for noncompliance with the Ethics in Government Act and compel him to either disclose his investments or divest them."

This quote in particular is the kicker: "While Romney was opposing the rescue of one of the nations most important manufacturing sectors, he was building his fortunes with his Delphi investor group, making his fortunes off the misfortunes of others," King added.

That's gonna piss off a lot of hard working straight shooting Ohioans.

If this is properly covered, Romney is sunk in Ohio. Game, set, match.

Let's just hope the media has been sufficiently slapped out of their horse race induced apathy by Romney's boldfaced Jeep lies enough and in time to do their jobs.

LINK to another diary from AnnetteK on DKos about UAW charges. Getting the story out there is goal, the more the merrier!

Mayhaps media is catching on. Thanks to maddrailin, a USA Today article today!
