Mitt Romney continues to campaign on his business record saying it is this record that proves he is ready and capable of running the country.
Last month in an interview on Radio Iowa when asked to defend his off shore accounts, he said, “I don’t manage them. I don’t even know where they are”. According to Mr. Romney, these accounts are managed by a trustee and Mr. Romney makes no hands-on decisions about them.
what eye thynk: Mr. Romney is running on his business record, but large parts of his business enterprises are actually being run by a trustee with no day to day input from Mr. Romney.
So, if we follow this to the Land of Ludicrous, maybe the trustee should be running instead of Mr. Romney?
And, yes, I realize this is silly and there are lots of holes to aim for, but there are just days when Swiss cheese silly is the best way to make a point. A man who is so wealthy that he doesn't even know where all his money is located cannot possibly understand the economic realities of middle class America.
If you want my serious take on whether I think Mr. Romney’s business record makes him the right choice for President of the United States, read my post from March 21 of this year: http://whateyethynk.blogspot.com/2012/03/is-unemployment-joke-who-cares.html
It reads, in part, “We need answers, and ‘I know how to run a business’ is not an answer. You can’t run a country like you run a corporation. When part of your citizenry asks for decent health care, you can’t fire them because you don’t like their attitude. When the budget doesn’t balance, you can’t sell off a couple of states to raise capital. Think about it”.
Please. Think about it.
