And really, my statement is aimed more at the ignorance of Thompson’s statement than his career accomplishments.
It’s really easy when you’ve been nothing but hired help to criticize business executives, founders, and owners as not being leaders.
The day that Fred Thompson is the founder of his own (SUCCESSFUL) firm or business entering relatively uncharted waters (as Romney did), he’s earned the right to even begin making that statement. Until then, that drivel ruined what was a pretty good commentary on his behalf.
Business leaders built this nation from an unpopulated backwater into the largest economic power in the world. Romney took his idea and founded what became an extremely successful enterprise. He built it. He used his skills to build corporations. If that’s not leadership, I don’t know what is.
Check it, Mittwitt.

I don’t know if the thought has ever crossed your mind, but a lawyer who has a law firm hires secretaries and legal aides, and runners and office managers and paralegals.... To have a law firm where you actually make enough money to support your family you have payrolls and hire and fire. My son has worked for law firms in several capacities while in college. Even with a few lawyers it is not small potatoes. Fred meets your criteria for a SUCCESSFUL firm or business.
It always helps to think before opening your mouth.
