Mitt Romney:
After going to both Harvard Business School
and Harvard Law School, he passed the Michigan bar, but never worked as an attorney.
As a venture-capitalist, Romney's first major business deal involved investing in a start-up office supply company with one store in Massachusetts that sold office supplies.
That company, called Staples, now has over 2,000 stores and employs over 90,000 people.
Romney or his company Bain Capital (using what became known as the "Bain Way"), would go on to perform the same kinds of business miracles again and again, with companies like Domino's, Sealy, Brookstone, Weather Channel, Burger King, Warner Music Group, Dollarama, Home Depot Supply, and many others.
Get your calculators handy. Let's recap:
Volunteer campaign worker for his dad's gubernatorial campaign 1 year.
Unpaid intern in Governor's office 8 years.
Mormon missionary in Paris 2 years.
Unpaid bishop and state president for his church 10 years.
No salary as president of the Olympics 3 years.
No salary as MA governor 4 years.
That's a grand total of 28 years of unpaid service to his country, his community and his church.
In 2011 Mitt Romney gave over $4 million to charity, almost 19% of his income....
Obama gave 1% Joe Biden gave $300 or .0013%
Romney may not be the best representative the Republicans could have selected.
At least I know what religion he is, and that he won't desecrate the flag, bow down to foreign potentates, or squander my money on vacations.
I know he has more proven ability to turn America's financial debacle around than the current sitting President.
We won’t like all the things necessary to recover from this mess, but someone with Romney’s background has to do it.
On the minus side:
He never was a "Community Organizer", and never took drugs or smoked pot.
He did not associate with communists or terrorists.
Nor did he attend a church whose pastor called for God to (*)(*)(*)(*) the US...
Who is the REAL AMERICAN ????
Your choice come next November !
