When the blogs get hold of this soundbite, Mitt will be the one hit out of the park.
You're right. I can't think of anything that would make a citizen feel less confident in a prospective CIC than that ridiculous statement. Leaders lead, managers manage. Mitt is a manager. We need a leader for President who can make decisions without the help of a gaggle of lawyers.
Mitt, you blew it!
Check the Corner on National Review Online. Byron York has Already picked up on it. Contrasting Romney( who would call his lawyers and get all the allies on board) and Fred ( who would consult tithe this generals (before dropping the bombs) That is what a President does.
Indeed, Romney consulted with his lawyers in Massachusetts before ordering the Clerks of Court to begin to issue the gay marriage licenses, instead of just handling it as the political question it was. The U.S. will be overlawyered and underrepresented if Mitt is President. LOL
Whether in the next debate, the blogs, Rush...or campaign ads. It's over for him. All over that single mistake.
See post #1682. It’s what presidents have done and will do in the future.
Only for those who think Presidents should never worry about what is legal.
Every President has a lawyer to give them advice. They might not take the advice, but you want to know what you are getting into.
