This too shall pass. Romney’s blind trust keepers should have known better.

It’s good that Governor Romney discovered it and I admire him for doing the right thing. It isn’t easy keeping track of ones investments, when one has as many as Mitt, even when one has a mind too.

If Fred Thompson had been caught in the same situation you’d be all over him like white on rice, gleefully ripping him apart. Hypocritical, don’t you think?

Maybe Romney’s Blind Trust Trustees SET HIM UP! Nothing would surprise me.

They couldn’t have known better, unless he had had the foresight to tell them which issues and companies he wanted to steer clear of. That was clearly within his power and he didn’t instruct the trust accordingly. Being a candidate who wants to use the pro-life issue as one of his platforms, he should have been smart enough to see that he could fall into the same trap that he had laid before Senator Kennedy.

This is reminiscent of his wife writing a check for Planned Parenthood. He can say it doesn’t affect his campaign, but the fact that the two of them didn’t realize such a check would irk the pro-life crowd shows how naive they are when it comes to public perceptions.

Once again, he doesn’t appear to be ready for primetime or playing hardball. This is a novice mistake.

No, Romney should have known better.
