2012 Presidential Election (free for all edition)

Apparently it is possible to be Sole Stockholder, Chairman of the Board, CEO, and President and not be responsible for the actions of a company. Either I'm really fcking stupid or someone thinks I'm really fcking stupid.

Mitt Romney stayed at Bain 3 years longer than he stated - Boston.com

It's also possible to put money in a blind trust and not be responsible for how an IRA managed to be valued 100 million.


Apparently being able to say "I don't know" and "I am not responsible" are the mark of a leader these days.

Shame on the Obama campaign for these accusations, shame on Obama for not rupudiating them, and shame on you for going pew, pew , pew all over the board and not doing your homework.

I'm not sure anything criminal went on (I am sure Obama's A team is on truthiness of it all) but I truly believe the whole mess needs to be clarified. It boggles the mind to think that a man who wore all the possible executive hats didn't know and wasn't involved in the happenings of his company. That's just not leadership.

Plus it just came out that he signed a bunch of SEC filings during that time and made a statement under oath that said "[T]here were a number of social trips and business trips that brought me back to Massachusetts, board meetings, Thanksgiving and so forth." Bottom line, his he seems to be absent a lot when it suits him or he thinks we are absent minded.


Mitt Romney’s Shifting Bain Story | Politicker

“Romney, who was CEO of Bain Capital until 2001, has repeatedly said he was on leave from the company in 1994, when strikes erupted at Ampad’s now- closed Indiana paper plant, and again in 2001, when GST Steel, a Kansas City plant, laid off workers and closed,” wrote Globe reporter Yvonne Abraham.

I don't know...I wasn't there...I left...I'm on leave...It's a blind trust, blah blah blah...It all seems quite convenient but shit like this doesn't go away easily. You should just pay me now!
