MITT-BRAGS Re: $410 Million FED$: Long-forgotten tape from 02 MA governors race obtained by ABC News

[kpete]

In a long-forgotten tape from the 2002 Massachusetts governor’s race obtained by ABC News:

#!

Mitt Romney is seen touting his Washington connections and his ability to get millions of taxpayer dollars from the federal government. “I am big believer in getting money where the money is,” Romney says on the video, “The money is in Washington.” [...] As for his experience running the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics, Romney says, “”the whole winter games was a combination of the federal, state and local governments along with private enterprise.” “We actually received over $410 million from the federal government for the Olympic games. That is a huge increase over anything ever done before and we did that by going after every agency of government,” he says. He even cites money one his colleagues managed to get for the Olympics from the Department of Education.

4. I wish Obama could have seen this tape before the debates

and humiliated the son of a b*@ch when he crowed about saving the Olympics. Repeating a quote from Shitt ("That is a huge increase over anything ever done before&quot would have been perfect.
