Willard Outs Himself

By Zamboni

Willard Mitt Romney thinks that America should elect him President because he's such a smart businessman.

You know what? He's not a smart businessman. He's an idiot. Here's proof.

Meg Whitman, the CEO of Hewlett-Packard who recently blew nearly $200 million of her own money on an embarrassing run for Governor of California, has had to swat Willard away for saying "she'd be perfect" for his Cabinet. Au contraire, her spokesguy rushed to say. Whitman is "committed to staying at HP as long as the turnaround is going."

What a Silly Willy that Romney is. The man whose business record is supposed to qualify him for the White House doesn't know the first thing about how business works. Willard put Whitman and HP in a terrible position. A company on the ropes, that tears through CEOs faster than Willard changes his policy positions, can't afford to have rumors floated by the Republican Presidential candidate that if he gets elected, it's going to lose its boss.

It was a selfish, myopic, self-serving comment that shows beyond a shadow of a doubt that Romney has no idea how the real world works.

The good news, of course, is that now that we know he's clueless, we don't have to elect him.

UPDATE, August 28: Proving our point, Hewlett-Packard's stock dropped nearly 2 percent today, dragging the Dow down with it. So the next time a Romney guy tells you Willard is a good businessman, laugh in his face.
