Politico highlights the Romney “Death Stench” – So-called business expert can’t even lead a campaign effectively

By on September 17, 2012 in Barack Obama, Mitt Romney

You can’t even run a campaign, why would we trust you to run the country?

In 2008, then-Senator Barack Obama was asked about his lack of business background by Netscape founder Marc Andreessen. He told Andreessen, “Watch how I run my campaign — you’ll see my leadership skills in action.”

This was good advice and it’s advice that we should take now when looking at the campaign of Mitt Romney. A killer article by Politico today shows just how absolutely failed Mitt Romney’s campaign is. If this is an example of Mitt Romney’s leadership skills, Americans of all political stripes should be given serious pause about his ability to lead the country.

The article shows a campaign in complete disarray. The entire article can be summed up with these three sentences:

Romney, who in an interview with POLITICO last month said his leadership style very much centers on having a variety of smart people offering advice and him being the decider, has taken a very active role running his own campaign. In a way, that’s the problem. Romney associates are baffled that such a successful corporate leader has created a team with so few lines of authority or accountability.

The entire article highlights how Romney has absolutely botched his campaign. Misstep after misstep, bad decision after bad decision, bad hire after bad hire, Romney’s campaign seems designed for failure. He’s done nothing to prove to America that he has leadership skills other than to “save” companies by stripping them down, outsourcing their work and reaping huge financial rewards while others are sent to the unemployment line.

There’s nothing in Romney’s experience to suggest he’d be a good president. Even his so-called success in “rescuing” the Olympics in Salt Lake City depended upon getting help from the federal government; a bailout of sorts that Romney castigates President Obama for on the campaign trail.

If you want to see how candidate Romney would perform as President Romney, you don’t have to look any farther than the campaign he is running right now.

His failure as a candidate tells you absolutely everything you need to know.

    I could not have put it any better, except I might not have been so polite

    When you are a hollow man, a fraud, con-artist and shape-shifting political chameleon, it is hard to become a genuine person and refrain from your natural ingrained duplicity. The only thing wrong with Mitt Romney is EVERYTHING.

    “…said his leadership style very much centers on having a variety of smart people offering advice and him being the decider…”
    Didn’t someone else say the same thing? How well did that turn out for the country?

    “His failure as a candidate tells you ABSOLUTELY everything you need to know???? Why is everyone so afraid of the “third rail”???. READ and STUDY the Utah “Articles of Incorporation of the LDS Church”…….. This is what Romney was born and raised under, and he was even a Stake President in this organization. This is not a “religion issue”…Mormons feel strongly about what they believe in….Rather this is a “Corporations are People Too” issue. The Mormon Church is a mega billion dollar corporate organization and everyone is afraid to see why this is soooo much who Mitt Romney really is……….. The President of the Corporation of the Mormon Church is the SOLE decision maker in managing billions and billions from mandatory tithing…………IT is so important to see this Mormon Corporation and how it has framed Romney………ignorance is not bliss…and it is not acceptable.

      If you have to go after Romney for his religion, you’ve already lost the argument. There’s so much else, why on earth would you raise that non-issue as an issue?

      It’s not a “third rail”. It’s irrelevant.

    True, if Romney cannot manage his campaign and his campaign staff efficiently and effectively, we know that he will never be able to manage the nation and more importantly, the middle east nations. The skills leader of the free world must possess escape Romney. He has failed to prove his competence as the leader of his campaign and by a huge margin, this nation. Obama/Biden 2012

    He doesn’t have to manage money or people. He is being given millions of money from the rich who want him to win & they can then manipulate him.
