Is Mitt Romney Saying A President’s Job Can Include Doing Nothing? (Humor Article)

A recent series of Boston Globe articles reported that despite telling the public that he “left Bain Capital in 1999? and “relinquished all management authority” that Mitt Romney was the CEO of Bain Capital, according to SEC filings in 2002. CNN has reported that it confirmed that:

“an SEC filing from 2001 also listed Romney as the ‘sole shareholder, sole director, chief executive officer and president of Bain Capital.’”

We at NTWN are a bit confused because Mitt Romney is running for President of the United States, yet at the same time saying he relinquished all management authority of Bain Capital, while filings indicate he was its President!

It seems Mitt Romney wants to bring his “business experience” to the presidency, and business experience can apparently include “presidents doing nothing.” Even worse, for the GOP candidate, some are questioning the legality of his filing. Still, don’t worry Mr. Romney, like all things in life this situation could have been even worse! Here are:

3 Worse Things Mitt Romney Could Have Told The SEC in 2001 or 2002
