Olympics Spotlights Mitt Romney's Turnaround Skill
Newsmax ^ | Feb 1, 2012 | Ronald Kessler

Posted on 06/01/2012 10:13:24 PM PDT by Innovative

Mitt Romney often is described as a turnaround artist. No better example of that is how he turned a failure into a success with the 2002 Winter Olympics.

Romney "can see into a situation very quickly," Bullock says. "He's very facile with numbers. He's got that raw intellect which lays a great foundation. And then he's combined that with a very significant layering upon layer of education and business experience that has given him now the base from which he can make pretty sound judgments pretty quickly."

"Mitt is a cheapskate," says Bullock, who is now managing director of Sorenson Capital, a leveraged buyout firm. "He does not tolerate one iota of waste."

Post #95.

AND YOUR POINT IS?

Oh, I know, you DON'T HAVE ANY, NOR COGENT AND DOCUMENTED response to my challenge to any of you Romney-Haters....

....(to provide ANYTHING Mitt has ever done or said, which would lead us to believe--UNLIKE WHAT WE HAVE/CONTINUE TO WITNESS[ED] BY DEAR LEADER--he holds any animosity toward the United States of America or would work toward our "Destruction)...

... ..... thus, discretion being the better part of valor (OR COWARDICE?) you choose to ingore all that I have posted.

Have another glass of Kool Aid!!!

OK, apparently this isn’t getting through to you... Willard is wholly untrustworthy on dealing with ANY issue of consequence where officeholding is concerned. We’re talking about a bored Socialist dilettante who couldn’t even do his job as Governor of Massachusetts. Now you’re asking me to MINDLESSLY support this incompetent jackass who screwed the state he promised to turn around and elect him President and replace his tan counterpart who is equally incompetent ?

Are you seriously insane ?

I agree. We need a big picture man financially and Romney may be it.

Obama certainly isn’t ... we know that.

This is exactly what troubles me about Field and his band of cohorts who come on every political thread only to spread Romney hate.

How are we gonna spend the next 5 months here?

Are we gonna do our best to get rid of Obama, the worst president ever and one who is hell bent on destroying the country as we know it.

Are are we gonna piddle around indulging ourselves in some personal hate and revenge because we didn’t get Sarah, or Newt, or Santorum or Cain or whoever we wanted.

Right now, Romney is looking like the better candidate.

I really don’t see the point in this forum doing Obama’s work for him in trying to undermine Romney.

You may be “comfortable”, I am not — with either abomination.

So be it. "Nose, I'm pi$$ed at my face and something stinks, so you gotta go..."

No, I’m not insane. I want to save my country from the Marxist, Muslim Brotherhood loving, Israel hating, narcissist that is President right now. We NEED to get this dude out of office.

“Don’t blame me, I didn’t vote for him” only goes so far when they are loading you in boxcars.

The problem is that you have a FReeper and his friends using this forum as a giant campaign ad.

When one of them is running for President and has a bunch of friends with great graphics, they are not going to target who we are against but rather who are forced to vote for. A bunch of them are convincing us that staying at home is better than voting for the guy who can win. In they end, they want you to vote for their guy. All they can do is bust Romney down.

Our disagreements about the whole Romney = Obama thing aside, that was a great post.

“You sound like a Dimocrat - can’t provide a cogent line of reasoning to support your mania, so you resort to school-yard “cutdowns”. I knew you were “compromised” when you pinged Diogenesis for “some truth” - he also needs to have his meds regulated since he became so obsessed against Romney that Obama is an OK choice.”

Bingo! You hit the nail on the head, trebb!

You are so right.

How many posts has the Field guy made on this thread?

How many of them said anything new or different?

Answer, he has flooded this thread with inane posts and none of them are new or different.

What we need now is a dedicated and unafraid bunch of freepers to counteract this stuff.

To counteract every repetitive Romney bashing with positive thoughts about Romney. If he were as bad as they say, he would still be better than Obama. But he’s not. I can only conclude that these people want to elect Obama.

I don’t know the exact number of these Obama supporters but they do have a ping list and are apparently unemployed as they have time to come on every thread to destroy all hope in the world.

They’re like the Dementers in Harry Potter.

Unless we can band together and get rid of them, this is gonna be a sad and sorry forum for the next five months when we should be rejoicing that we have an excellent chance to get rid of the Obamanation.

Maybe they have been reading the recounts of Romney’s French car accident were some lds did say “he came back from the dead”.

Excellent retort.... Romney is the only one in the world that stands between us and 4 more years of Obama... And the destruction of America

If Obama wins, he claims a mandate... 4 years of EPA dictating policy... 4 years of Holder and the media calling us racist...

I can see folks like JimRob hating Romney and sitting out... And ok, fine... But these other folks, that mostly post anti-Romney stuff, are just pure hate.. Tell me the fact they Romney is Mormon doesn't have a whole lot to do with it. Of course it does

Mind-boggling. They're doing Axelrod's and Obama's dirty work... If folks can't see the difference between a Romney Pres and Obama, just wow.. When Obama nominates another Afr Amer ultra radical like Van Jones to the SCOTUS (and our side does nothing to block it, else we're "racist", he'll double up and select a Mus-Amer woman... Just to add diversity. Then these folks will be crying, and I don't wanna hear crap from them. They will have contributed to it!

I'm sick of this race hustler and Romney, warts and all, is far better

Really?

I’m asking you a serious question.

What do you expect to accomplish by constantly trying to drag down our candidate (well, the Republican candidate)?

the only possible outcome of defeating Romney is electing Obama.

So, why am I delusional? Maybe it’s you.

Your statement was: I can only conclude that these people want to elect Obama.
That is what is delusional.
Somehow you have jumped to a conclusion that those who are opposed to Romney are then in favor of BHO, it simply is not true.

Exposing one’s record, is not dragging down or attacking, it is simply exposure of one’s record.
