[MarcATL]

Mint Raw Money had one of his goons go on the Sunday talk shows and plot out the new RW tripe...."he retroactively retired."

Do any of you knows what that even means?

Or perhaps, yet another, RW attempt to trot another BLATANT lie out in the face of the American public.

Will they fall for their flim flam yet again?

CROWLEY: You can understand, can't you, that voters would still be confused because it's still going on, and here is one of the things. This came out of "The Boston Globe" on Saturday. It said on July 19th, 1999, several months after Mitt Romney says he had left Bain to go help save the Olympics, a news release about the resignation of two Bain Capital managing directors describes Romney as CEO and currently on a part-time leave of absence to head the Salt Lake City Olympic Committee.

So there's all this documentation at the SEC and in press releases that say he's still CEO. He's the sole owner, he's this, he's that, and you have him sort of talking business speak saying, well, no, I really wasn't all those things in the filings that I filed in the SEC.

So why is there such a discrepancy? You can understand how people would think that looks funky.

We're coming off a time, Ed, as you well know that people think Wall Streeters and investment bankers get away with everything. Doesn't this add to that?

GILLESPIE: You know, Governor Romney took a leave of absence from his company to go save the Olympics. If you remember...

CROWLEY: This is a part-time leave of absence and there are signs that he...

GILLESPIE: You know, there may have been thought at the time that he could be part time. It was not part time. The Olympics was in a shambles. There was corruption. There was -- the International Olympic Committee was going to pull the Olympics from the United States of America which would have been a huge embarrassment. Because of Mitt Romney's leadership skills he was called on to do it.

He took a leave of absence and, in fact, Candy, he ended up not going back at all and retired retroactively to February of 1999 as a result.

Democratic members of Bain, one Democrat who ran for the Senate nomination as a Democrat in Massachusetts, said -- who was there at Bain, said he wasn't there. He wasn't engaged in the day to day activities at all. And Harvey Pitt, the former SEC chairman, said it's standard procedure for someone who still has the shares to sign the SEC form even if you're not making the day to day decisions and you have taken a leave of absence.

CROWLEY: So is it your position that Mitt Romney was still technically the CEO the sole owner, and the chief shareholder of Bain, but he was not -- had nothing to do with any day-to-day decisions at Bain after he left for the Olympics?

GILLESPIE: That's correct. He was not involved in the management. He was not involved in the day-to-day decisions, and wouldn't have had time.

What say you?

A list of companies is scrolled on the screen during the ad. Is that a comprehensive list, or did they cherry pick to influence your confirmation bias?

 

[Pho_King]

The phrase "retroactively retire" means to drive pussyassed, parasitic lefties crazy with envy. That's what it means. And yes, Marc, I know you are black and I will take it easy on you. The bruises from your chains are still fresh.

Yes, Romney AND his entire campaign is just one big ball of confusion.

They will pay for their lies.

Romney's tax returns hold no interest to me, none at all. It's right up there with Obama's birth certificate and the 9/11 truth movement. It's all just a distraction from the real issues.....

 

[del]

you people are pathetic

Why do you say that del?

because people take leaves of absence prior to retirement fairly frequently.

you're acting like birthers, imo.

"Your guy's a crook and a liar!"

"Yeah? Well YOUR guy's a crook and a liar!"

Hey, congratulations kids, you're BOTH right.

How proud you both must be.

your opinion sucks.

birfers have gone for years and still go to extreme stupid lengths.

the bain romney story is an invitation to mock romney and his campaign.

retroactive retirement. lol

if pres romney is still dogged by this story in 4 years, then maybe you will have a valid comparison.

What say you?

It means "going back in time." When raises are negotiated after a contract is expired, they are usually retroactive to the time of the contract was in place...the employess get that money in a lump sum.

Romney's resignation "went back in time" to the time he left Bain for the Olmypics. The salary he was paid after that time was for franchise value of the company it was negotiated by attorneys.

Okay, okay. We get it. All rich people are evil. Therefore, they all deserve to have their taxes raised. That will fix everything.

Check.
