Romney: ‘I Don’t Recall’ Coming Back For Mass. Meetings

Mitt Romney said that he had no recollection of returning to Massachusetts for business meetings in 2002 following his departure from Bain Capital to head the Olympics in Salt Lake City.

“I left Bain in February of 1999,” Romney said in an interview with CBS’s Jan Crawford on Friday evening. ”People can point out how - I was in Salt Lake City for three straight years. I don’t recall even coming back once to go to a Bain or management meeting. We were, I was out there running the Olympics and it was a full time job, I can tell you that.”

Romney testified to Massachusetts officials in 2002 that he maintained business ties during his Olympics work, undermining his argument that he had no connection to Bain Capital or related companies after 1999.

“So not once,” Crawford pressed, “you don’t remember a board meeting, you don’t remember talking about whether or not there should be outsourcing jobs overseas? Do you remember any involvement with Bain Capital from 1999 on?”

1. Early onset Alzheimer's or what?

3. Reagan's disease: selective amnesia.

4. I believe he has Narcissitic Personality Disorder (NPD)...

I've known people like him... Folks with NPD lie constantly in amazing ways... Narcissists will say anything to anyone to avoid feeling shamed in the moment... Narcissists say what they think their audience wants to hear... They avoid inconvenient confrontations of facts with a "How dare you question me?!?!" defense. He's very predictable once you know a little about NPD. He will never admit to doing anything wrong or contradicting himself (despite the recorded evidence).

6. I've been wondering...

Could his obvious communication, and other problems, be a later manifestation of a brain injury suffered as a young man?

2. So he was never a resident of Massachusetts?

Which means that his time in office as governor was illegal?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

5. He would have had to live in Mass. for 5 years before office

the trees were the right height though

7. Don't Board Meetings have minutes that show...

who is in attendance and what was discussed? Or am I showing my age/ignorance here? Is that something the new world order did away with? Record keeping!

[Rosa Luxemburg]

8. On Rachel's show tonight she said that Romney had attendded board meetings

yes there will be minutes - probably obtainable?

[targetpractice]

10. As Chairman of the Board, he would legally be required to attend BOD meetings...

I think minutes are also legally required. It's important to recognize that Bain only existed and operated to make money for it's shareholders, err single shareholder... Mitt Romney. It's insulting for Mitt to tell us that he wasn't involved... He was Bain.
