Mitt was so eager to boast about his business background at Bain

and now it's come around to bite him squarely in the ass.

The irony of this is mind-boggling.

Mr. Corporate Leader is going to wish he never mentioned how clever he is as a businessman.


Delicious.

CO has a lot more savvy and smarts than the other guy. This is not a good summer for Mitt and it's not going to get better.

Apart from his career at Bain Capital, he's only been a big kahuna in the Mormon church, which he doesn't like to talk about because the fundie Christians think Mormons are heretics; he's been the governor of Massachusetts, in which capacity he implemented the forerunner of the dreaded, loathed Affordable Care Act and presided over the third-worst economy in the country (MA was #47 in job growth), so he doesn't like to talk about that; and managed the Utah Olympics, which he claims to have "saved," not mentioning the fact that he used a whole buttload of federal cash to do it. So if his business career turns out to be as dodgy as it now appears to be, how can he claim to have any kind of credentials qualifying him to be President?

Sucks to be you, Mittens...
