week insinuating mitt romney may have committed a felony. either mitt romney through his own words and his own signature was misrepresenting his position at bain to the sec, which is a felony. or, he was misrepresenting his position at bain to the american people to avoid responsibility for some of the consequences of his investments. okay. at issue here is that mitt romney says he left bain capital in 1999 why this is significant because in 2000 and 2001, bain capital was responsible for some bankruptcies, some layoffs, some jobs being shipped overseas. mitt romney says he had no part in the operational decision-making in the bain capital. sec documents show he was still listed of as the ceo and possibly primary stake holder other things. he was running he was saving the winter olympics of salt lake city.
because the extra cost of running it is infinitesimal compared to the revenues that will be generated over a long period of time. so i think we should embrace it and develop a stake holder driven system of high standards for doing the work. so there you got bill clinton, quintessential politician saying come on, build it. he s giving the democrats talking points for when they cave. however, his wife says not so fast, honey, we got rules. here s the secretary of state. even the former president, bill clinton, says embrace it. very smart man. but unfortunately, it s not bound by the laws and regulations any longer of the united states to make decisions that follow a certain procedure and that s what we have to do. is it a mistake for the former president to say embrace it?

there is not easy findable financials about the new bar coming in down the street. it s going to be good. two things i would say about that, one, we talk about local companies, we think about the mom and pop shops, the local bar, the dry cleaner. and, yeah, that s the quintessential local business. but, you know, they can also be companies that employ hundreds of people or high gross start-ups. the defining characteristic here and the distinction i m making is that they re locally owned and rooted in their community so they re a stake holder. quickly. secondly, yes, you have to do your due diligence. no one s suggesting throw that out the window. but i would argue that there is less risk thanks to the proximity and familiar aerat you may have with the companies. and the stake they have in the community and the accountability that comes with that. you can answer my question with a number. and that is if someone is actually thinking about doing this and money to work with, what
leadership with the imf. let s find another one, a leader for that. should be a european is what you re suggesting. yes, i think it should be a european. europeans together by far, they are the biggest stake holder in the imf and there are a lot of europeans that can do that job. why now choose someone because he s not european? that makes no sense. i think there will be good candidates from europe. let s not make now an issue of flag, about this, what is important that we have a strong, credible candidate and i think we can present that candidate. once again, the president of the european commission there. this is the next phase opening up now. face-to-face diplomacy and phone diplomacy, the president of the commission had a bilateral with angela merkel over the weekend. president obama will be meeting with david cameron of the uk next week. angela merkel will weigh in heavily as the largest economy in europe.
