Mitt Romney:
After going to both Harvard Business School and Harvard Law
School simultaneously, 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.
Got 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. Why? Because that's the kind of man Mitt
Romney is!
And in 2011 Mitt Romney gave over $4 million to charity,
almost 19% of his income....Obama gave 1%
Joe Biden gave $300 or 0.0013%
This is real character vs....well you know what!
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 powers, or squander my money on
vacations. I know he has the ability to turn this financial debacle that the
"Spending President" has gotten us into. We didn't know that when
Obama said he'd give us change, he meant nickels and dimes, and he would get
the big bucks. We won't like all the things necessary to recover from this
debt, but someone with Romney's background can do it.
But, on the minus side, He never was a "Community
Organizer", never took drugs or smoked pot. Never got drunk. Did not
associate with communists or terrorists. Nor did he attend a church whose
pastor called for God to damn the US.
