Will the real CEO please stand up?
If, as claimed by both Bain and Mitt Romney (separately, ha-ha) he was not, as attested in documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Chairman of the Board, the managing director and the sole stockholder, then who was? Bain (and Romney) must produce this shy, disinclined-to-sign person who allowed someone to sign in his stead for three years while, in fact, he was in charge.
What kind of businessman permits the founder and sole stockholder to sign all the federal papers that he himself should sign, for three years? Who is this chimera who would be CEO, except that Mitt Romney retained that role, in appearances at least, while traveling from Utah to Boston for Board meetings and company business? If Romney had nothing to do with the business while “saving” the Olympics, as he claims, who was the steward of the business he left behind?
Who ran Bain?
For that matter, where are the Board minutes supporting Ed Gillespie’s claim that Romney ‘retroactively retired‘ in 2002, effective 1999? Board minutes must support this contention, right? And they also must support all Romney’s other contradictory contentions regarding his tenure, I would imagine. For instance, the purchase of the abortion-profiteer company that burned up dead babies: that profitable enterprise’s absorption into the Bain borg must be approved somewhere. The Board must have approved Romney’s request for a part-time leave of absence. Whose signatures are on those papers? Was the Board vote unanimous approving these actions by Romney?
If Bain wants their man Mitt in the White House, if Wall Street has decided the non-prosecutorial bent of Team Obama isn’t fealty enough, if the Masters of the Universe want one of their own in the Oval, they can produce these documents and clarify everything.
We’re waiting.

yes, yes YES!
If not Mitt, then who?
Delicious, Teddy! Rec’d
This must be the first time in its corporate history that Bain Capital has been asked to actually produce something.
Leave this poor man, whoever he is, aloooonnnnne!
Answering this question is not in Mitt’s current job description.
He’s too busy trying to save the country from
RomneyObamacare.Teddy – considering the heroic efforts made by Romney and his aides when he left the MA governor’s office to obliterate the electronic records of his administration and to physically remove any computer used by himself or any aid (the computers and their hard drives were sold to the people who used them and they were then destroyed), do you think that any Bain records of this period exists? Or, if they still do (and frankly, I have my suspicions), what makes anyone think that Bain will cough them up? Mitt doesn’t want anyone to know what he did and when he did it; he’s a secretive guy.
Who, indeed. Very good question, Teddy. In my dark world, this is The American Election; Act 3: In which the circus clowns pour into the ring to bean the clown who’s gotten our attention.
Actually, I think it’s almost tragic the way the PTB manipulated a fragile personality into being that clown. Almost. The Morman Inc. has probably solved their “What to do with Mitt?” problem as well.
Cute!
By the time the election is over The Mittster will be longing for his very own planet.
It will have to be gated to suit him…
To bad he will never know that the planet doesn’t exist. The fact that the super religious will never know there is no heaven or hell sort of disappoints me.
So – who will the GOP be stuck with in Tampa? Petraeus?
I’m predicting this has at least a 50/50 chance of derailing the Willard train before the convention.
recommended and reposted at Progressive Alaska.
It does me a bit too but I have the solution: The “B” ship. Willard could be Cap’n and drink gin and tonic and bark incoherent orders forever.
Teddy,
Why would you believe any set of minutes produced by Bain Capital? I wouldn’t believe it for a moment.
I think that’s a distinct possibility as well. All of the “anybody but Willard” Republicans are abandoning him in droves and he needs those Republicans. But I see even greater entertainment value when the Ron Paul lemmings try to take advantage of the situation. In a best case scenario, Rmoney’s immediate family are the only Republicans who show up at the polls in November.
Who will run in Willard’s place after the TeaTea’ers and the Mormon haters get rid of the dood.
That’s the beauty; the Paulbots will very legitimately insist that he is the heir apparent to the nomination but the RNC views Ron Paul as worse than Willard, who was never their favored candidate anyway, just the least objectionable in that awful field.
Okay, okay, I admit it. It was me. I personally laid off all those factory workers; I could never resist a blue collar guy with time on his hands. Why not create more of them?
I also wanted to get rid of that pesky booze ban at lunchtime. It just made sense.
I am sure you would get at least the extended family.
Teddy, you ask the most interesting questions.
LOL.
Do you think there was a favored nominee, and who was that, would be?
Oh, please let the Paulites take advantage of Mittens’ problems at the convention. It’s the only possible development that would justify the obscene amounts of public money spent for a multi day Freedom Porn Fest.
It’s Mr Benson of bubblers fame, here to install water fountains so the workers don’t get drunk at lunchtime!
You are correct; I wouldn’t necessarily believe it, but let’s see it anyway. There are bound to be even more discrepancies and contradictions. Besides, there are corporate governance issues galore.
That man needs a Maverick™ running mate.
