re: #32 Killgore Trout

You seem to be consistently missing the point.

Romney was CEO, and sole shareholder during the years in question. If he delegated authority, he delegated it. It is his responsibility. Delegation doesn’t absolve one of responsibility. At best, you can claim the person you delegated it to acted contrary to your instructions when you delegated it.

Whether he made the actual decisions to outsource is completely immaterial; he was CEO, as declared to the SEC, during the times in question. If he didn’t want that responsibility, he should have resigned as CEO at that point. The best case scenario is he held on to the title, and the salary, while doing no work so that he could structure his exit in a way that would benefit him.

You seem to be getting lost in the details and ignoring that there is no possible way that this story flows that doesn’t show huge, obvious, glaring problems in Romney as a candidate. It’s not about Romney cackling as he creates a plan to outsource jobs, it’s about Romney’s company, which he owned and was CEO of, doing this.

Someone who can’t take responsibility for what a company did that they owned and CEO of— it reminds me most of Ron Paul and his newsletters.
