Mittens' "other" credibility problem

[Luddly Neddite]

Charles Ferguson: Romney's Other Credibility Problem: Glenn Hubbard

Mitt Romney has a credibility problem. He changes his beliefs like laundry (abortion, medical insurance, whether Bin Laden was worth killing, attacking Iran), refuses to disclose his tax returns, and won't explain how he could possibly pay for the tax cuts he proposes. But there is another scandal in Romney's campaign -- namely Glenn Hubbard, Romney's chief economic advisor, who was chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors under George W. Bush, and is now Dean of Columbia Business School.

First, Hubbard has an abysmal track record in economic policy, including the very issues that Romney has made the pillar of his Presidential campaign. Second, like Romney, Hubbard refuses to disclose critical information about his income, conflicts of interest, and paid advocacy activities. Third, both in public statements and in my personal experience, Hubbard has been evasive, misleading, and even dishonest when discussing both policy issues and his own conflicts of interest. And last but not least, those conflicts of interest are huge: Hubbard has long advocated policies that Wall Street loves, often without disclosing that he is, in fact, highly paid by Wall Street.

Frankly, I think this is very funny. Remember when the rw's were saying how bad Mittens would be? Then, when he was the last one standing, the rw's said they'd "hold their noses" and vote for him. To read what the rw's say about him now, he's the second coming and they donn't even mind that he lies every time he opens his mouth.

Sure, this guy is as corrupt and crooked at Mittens but why would the rw's care about that?

They both have creditability problems

He didn't say Obama was a competent leader did he? Cause then he really would have a credibility problem.
