perhaps it was a transactional relationship. The money behind Obama hired Bain for Romney's acting ability. I think I remember during campaign that Romney was still being paid by Bain even tho supposedly no longer working there.
No, you see, guy, the "Transactional" relationship would be you going to the pharmacy and getting your meds.
Romney lost because people like me didn't vote for him. Voted for McCain. Voted for Bush. Even voted for Dole.
Romney is where I drew the line. And so did a lot of other people.
