The Old Mitt Romney Photo That He Probably Wants Destroyed

I don't see the problem Bain Capital, from what little research I just did, is a venture capital firm Mitt Romney and a few other chums, founded in 1984 as a split off from "Bain and Company" where he worked. So what I see, is a man who's started a new business or started a whole new branch for an existing business, and apparently has been quite successful. The whole point of this business being to provide capital to start up or other businesses in need, and be repaid at a later date. Making money is the point, they don't have a product they can pose around.

Sure the picture is a little silly, but its no more silly than going out drinking and someone snapping a "drunk photo" yes its a silly photo but really is it a big deal?

That's where he made his millions. For him to say he knows how to create jobs is complete BS. You can expect this to be a big issue if he gets the expected nomination.

To be fair, if I could make millions for myself cutting jobs I'd do it too.

Wow this picture should land a bunch of very young men in a gulag.

What a cheap attack about a meaningless picture that is clear very old. I don't see any reason to fear a picture that depicts success, unless you're Damn dumb-ass Liberal without a clue, out to try to make out like they wouldn't be happy to be successful rather than being on Welfare and cry poor me as they protest Wall Street.

Or maybe they part of the truly dumb-asses that quit their job to protest the shortages of jobs.

I think the mental midgets are beyond help, with their lack of mental acuity they need to go back to the 3rd grade only pay attention this time, and keep your hands above the desk top.

it does depict what romney values as the symbol of success
be certain we will help him run on that message


hell. it might even cause voters to forget he is also mormon. maybe he will thank us

If this is supposed to be a "Aha!" moment, it's not. I can't see this getting any "gotcha" traction among grownups.

They actually created jobs too. Ever hear of Staples? Guess which venture capitalist funded that idea...(I'll give you a hint. His intials are WMR.)

Mitt Romney

I will never vote for Romney, but yeah, this.

How many of us have dumb pics in our pasts? (I'm thinking about an original "XXXX-in-Box" Pat Boone photo here.)

And who cares? Only petty partisans whose only game is dumb "gotchas."

I really have to hope that all the future leaders of our country who are now in college find a way to expunge their "youthful indiscretions" from collegehumor.com and etc. before, in this ever-more-"archived" world, some asshat on a "gotcha" mission unearths family photos or frat pics or whatever that somehow "prove" the person is "bad."

About the photo:

"The Globe reports that the picture was taken during a photo shoot for the company's brochure. After the official photo was taken, Romney and his Bain associates hammed it up for this memorable shot, a decision Romney surely regrets...."
