Maybe I'm remembering things incorrectly about the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City. And maybe that is what the Romney campaign is hoping -- that people won't remember. Willard Romney is making a big deal about the great success he had in running things out there.
Sen. John McCain said back then: "You’ve got well over $1 billion that’s just a rip-off of the taxpayers, and, you know, is really a national disgrace … Actually, there should be a federal investigation."
Gee, could those Bain Capital stories about putting workers on the streets, outsourcing work overseas, and making millions and millions -- even now -- be true?
And how about Massachusetts? After he ran it, Massachusetts was 47th out of 50 states in job creation, down from 36th when he took office. Is that a good thing as Willard Romney claims?
April 16, 2012 -- Richard Cohen wrote: “Among the attributes I most envy in a public man (or woman) is the ability to lie. If that ability is coupled with no sense of humor, you have the sort of man who can be a successful football coach, a CEO or, when you come right down to it, a presidential candidate. Such a man is Mitt Romney.”
And Willard Romney is stupid, too.
And dogs don't like him.
What do you expect for a guy who ties his dog in a cage to the roof of the car and drives 12 hours?
