Mitt Romney's Own 2002 Testimony Undermines Bain Departure Claim

His own testimony is hanging him.

Suggestion: Ole Etch A Sketch should hire a memory keeper because he obviously can't remember when to change his own magic underwear.

And, Ann is no help. She's just as flat footed and dishonest as he is.

What a disaster this "campaign" is.

Or, maybe he's telling the truth NOW and was only lying to the SEC then ...

LOL

Doesn't matter. Romney is not being evaluated. This is a referendum on Obama's term as President, not Romney's business career. You guys keep going that way, though. We're counting on it.

Romney gave testimony? In what action?

 

[whitehall]

The rhetoric is becoming scary. Somewhere in the wildest fantasies of the left wing mind there will be a day when capitalists will be put on trial and testimony will authorize the peoples republik to open re-education camps.

It's all they got, they have to find anything they can and twist it as far as it will go. They can't run on Obama's horrible tenure, so it's F-O-R-W-A-R-D with as much negativity as they can make up.

If Romney ends up dropping out due to ethical problems, who is next in line? Ron Paul? Gingrich?

Wingnuts knew Romney was a flawed candidate from the very beginning. He was a vulture capitalist and a lousy governor

And speaking of which, Obama should be the one to drop out, if Hillary took his place your odds of winning would increase dramatically.

why do liberals want to hang Mitt?

 

[hortysir]

Bring the charges, Eric

 

[hjmick]

Damn shame people can't choke on their own idiocy...

 

[Sinjorri]

why do liberals want to hang Mitt?

The Globe story was based on government documents filed by Bain Capital itself. Those described Governor Romney as remaining at the helm of Bain Capital as its “sole stockholder, chairman of the board, chief executive officer, and president” until 2002. The story also cited state financial disclosure forms filed by Romney that showed he earned income as a Bain “executive” in 2001 and 2002, separate from investment earnings.

The Bain Shadow Years Loom Larger

by David S. Bernstein

Increased scrutiny of this discrepancy potentially hurts Romney in a number of ways.

First of all, there's Romney's "buck stops here" problem; the buck never seems to stop with him. Everything bad that's ever happened under him -- especially involving Bain -- he always blames on other people, and that just isn't very Presidential. The shadow years look like that in a huge way.

It also reinforces the image of Romney as part of the specially insulated corporate overlord class, who get to manipulate the rules so that they always end up the winner. (I have previously dubbed this "Romney's no-lose life"). He apparently was able to make a lot of money (or at least, what seems like a lot of money to most people) for being president, owner, and investor in a company while actually being off in Utah doing a completely different full-time job.

And, of course, he was apparently freely signing off on anything required of the president and owner, without, apparently, feeling like that meant he actually had any responsibility for anything happening at the company. It looks like legal, regulatory, and fiduciary responsibilities don't really mean anything to super-wealthy executive types -- not like when regular people sign employment documents, or mortgage documents, and so on.

The elevation of the shadow years issue will also increase pressure significantly for Romney to release additional personal financial information, including the tax returns that would indicate his income from Bain Capital sources during that time.

FactCheck.org is standing by their assessment that Mitt Romney did not actively manage Bain Capital after February 1999, despite today's Boston Globe report that he was CEO there until 2002.

"We see little new in the Globe piece. So far, nobody has shown that Romney was actually managing Bain — even part-time — during his time at the Olympics, or that he was anything but a passive, absentee owner during that time, as both Romney and Bain have long said," Brooks Jackson, a co-author of the FactCheck piece, told POLITICO today.
