Obama must really be steamed after that last debate because Romney’s part in the Stegman divorce info has been hashed and rehashed time and again on the internet. All this info seems pretty lame to me given it was and continued to be an extremely bitter divorce. Lots of “he said” and “she said.” I hope this isn’t going to be a sleazy attempt to put some kind of face on the alleged “War on Women.” Then again, it is the Obama campaign and Gloria Allred.
The former Mrs. Stemberg “who claims no health insurance due to what she claims are extensive medical conditions” lives in a $5,600 per month abode and had a generous (by my poor standards) settlement.

Romney testified at the time and rumor has it that he told the court that Stemberg’s Staples stock was over-valued in the court records. This was sometime in 1988. Of course in the Spring of 1989, the stock went public and Mrs. Stemberg had sold off half of her stock before then.

I don’t know when Romney was working with Wall Street to take the stock public, but, the Dems may be trying to say that Romney devalued what was the couple’s primary asset in a state that is 50/50 in divorce cases. In my opinion, Romney’s involvement in Staples was due to Stegman’s excellent sales skills and not any earth shattering financial data at the time.

But then, that’s what I want in a President is someone who can look at economical possibilities and see the possibilities.

There was also some story out there at one time that the Stegman son had approached Romney to help his mother. Stegman and his son were not on excellent terms after the divorce. I don’t see how that involves Romney.

I didn’t quote any links to this info because it has been all over the internet for a long time. You can find it easily on the internet. If this is it, what a desperation shot it is and the Rats must really be shaking in their shoes a couple of weeks prior to the election.
