Splitting such hairs only serves to boost support for Romney by causing folks to dig into the story and find the original accounts, which do not need enhancement.
I suppose you still believe that Mitt Romney personally called every party Bain did business with in New York.
Matters every bit as much as whether JFK ever walked on the moon.
So you want to believe a puff piece written today to boost Romney's presidential aura more than a contemporaneous newspaper article (the one you called to everyone's attention earlier in this thread as proof that this event happened, by the way; are you now backing away from *your* newspaper article when it doesn't support the most precious facts of the SuperRomney fairy tale?).
*My* article? LOL! I just needed a link to debunk a specious assertion, so I grabbed the first one I found.
Apparently it was important to the people who rewrote the story 18 years later to say that it was Romney himself who made the calls. There was no reason to add that to the story . . . except to make Romney look better. Just as it was important to the people who rewrote the story so that Romney by himself who shut down Bain, rather than a vote of all of the Managing Directors. There was no reason to change those facts . . . except to make Romney look better.
Nobody promoting JFK's campaign claimed that he walked on the moon. If you can't see the difference, you may wish to practice your powers of discernment.
These are mighty big hairs, these let's-make-Romney-a-Super-Hero hairs-by-changing-the-details-eighteen-years-after-the-fact hairs.
I'll be helpful. When you repeat this story the next time? Tell them that Romney personally built a special Batman-like light in his basement and free-climbed the outside of the Empire State building to mount it on the top, so it would shine a photo of the missing girl and a number to call on the clouds over Gotham City. Since that lie wouldn't matter as much as whether FDR ever single-handed-ly won the 4x400 relay in the Olympics.
