Mitt Romney Inc.: The White House That Never Was

[n2doc]

In the months before the 2012 election, a group of high-powered consultants and political operatives prepared a secret report for candidate Mitt Romney, explaining how he should take over and restructure the federal government should he win the presidency.

“The White House staff is similar to a holding company” read one PowerPoint slide, which would have been presented to President-elect Romney as part of an expansive briefing on the morning after Election Day. It went on to list three main divisions of the metaphorical firm: “Care & Feeding Offices,” like speechwriting, “Policy Offices,” like the National Security Council, and “Packaging & Selling Offices,” like the office of the press secretary. This was the view of the Presidency Romney would have brought with him to Washington, a glimpse of the White House that never was — and plan that never saw the light of day.

But now the secret is out. On May 29, the Romney Readiness Project, the Republican candidate’s transition organization known as R2P, published a 138-page report detailing how it prepared for a potential Romney victory. It is the product of a team of nearly 500, who labored in Washington and around the country to be ready to help Romney assume the reins of power on January 20th, 2013, in accordance with the Pre-Election Presidential Transition Act of 2010.

1. That is creepy

He would have turned the entire Executive branch into a model of a giant corporation, with Rmoney as the CEO.

And God knows what kind of corporate sociopaths he would have "parachuted" into all the major agencies.

2. Reading the link gave me a cold feeling in the pit of my stomach.

Those people have no idea the purpose of government, the meaning of the words in the Constitution. Let alone why government can not operate like a business, even if someone, anyone tries to run it as one. Everything is power and control to them.
A properly set up government is the counter weight to business, to keep them in check, not the means to pocket more profit, at the expense of the 'governed'.
