Romney's Name Was on the Bottom Line, and That's What Matters

Mitt Romney wants to be president. Well, the guy who sits in the Oval Office doesn't get to pretend the vice president or the Cabinet or the Joint Chiefs are responsible when it's convenient. He doesn't get to "transfer ownership" of the country to someone else while he goes AWOL on his jet ski or takes a joyride in that snazzy car elevator of his. As Harry Truman once said, "The buck stops here." That's how presidents get the job done. But it's simply not how Romney operates.

He's not responsible for the health care legislation that was the model for Obama's Affordable Care Act. He's not responsible for his abysmal record of job creation as governor of Massachusetts. He's not responsible for supporting civil unions. Now, he says he's not responsible for the actions of Bain Capital during a period when he was listed on legal documents as "sole stockholder, chairman of the board, chief executive officer and president."

And he really expects us to believe him? Seriously?

He either lied to the SEC, or he lied to America. One's a felony, the other is just a shitty thing to do.
