Romney Declares His Record Out of Bounds or He Runs Away From It

So Willard M. Romney says he should be President and can fix the economy based upon his experience at Bain Capital. However, he is offended when someone looks at what Bain Capital did while he was CEO, President and sole shareholder of the company. If you cannot take the heat get out of the campaign kitchen.

I guess he never claims he should be President based upon his record as Governor of Massachusetts because his biggest accomplishment was imposing a tax on people who did not obtain health insurance. Sounds like the Affordable Care Act was based on his work as governor.

His policies would widen the income disparity in America and he wants to repeal overwhelming insufficient regulations in Dodd - Frank that will allow the financial and venture capital industries to make obscene sums of money and caused the financial crisis.  For graphs and an explanation of how the financial industry and the 1% have benefited over the last 30 years Nobel Prize winner Paul Krugman shows the numbers.

After the problems of last week with his role at Bain Capital between 1999 and 2002 it seems that at the same time Romney decided to give a contract to make clothes for the torch runners at the 2002 Olympics to a brutal military regime in Myanmar.  When asked about it because the labels also said Burma as well the Olympic Committee said that Myanmar and Burma were different countries.  Wrong!

This also raises questions about Romney’s foreign policy experience.  Despite a long short list of potential vice presidential nominees, none of them have any real foreign policy experience.  The only name floated as a possible vice presidential nominee with foreign policy experience is Condoleezza Rice.  She has a problem because she would be forced to answer questions about a war she supported on false grounds.

We are in mid-July how many other issues will Romney claim are not fair game for debate during the campaign?
