Mr. Stemberg represents the positive early career of Mitt Romney when he was investing in start ups. However following the example of Michael Milliken as a role model he became enchanted with leveraged buyouts. Using other people's money to find distressed companies, loading them with debt, and extracting high fees for the managed destruction of the company or streamlining it with lesser employees, lowered wages, benefits, or pensions. Any negative fallout such as unemployment, loss of health insurance became someone else's problem and often the government's. Losses even though not to Bain were also government write offs. So Mr. Romney's success in business is mixed. Some praiseworthy but some not so much. As Ralph Nader remarked when the GM executives tried to dilute his testimony by trying to point out all the good they had done for society, he said "Do you forgive a thief because he does not steal 95% of the time?"

Actually, he "does get it" and prefers not to be a part of it. All you have to do is follow the money and in this case, Stemberg is a "winner" and we all know the winners write history. You however, as an interested observer and voter, can read a more compelling story of Mitt Romney and it's not pretty. Hint: He didn't build it himself. Check out Taibbi's article in Rolling Stone. Puts the Big Dig mismanagement of Romney to shame: http://www.businessinsider.com/matt-taibbi-mitt-romney-bain-rolling-stone-2012-8 After you read just the salient points, I predict you will never again view Mitt Romney as a good anything: manager, candidate, politician or ethicist. Rather, I believe you will see him as a politically conniving opportunist, a teller of tall tales, a greedy person with few scruples and an ethically challenged individual who will do or say anything to gain what he desires. That's about as harsh as I can get. Stop this Theater of the Absurd. Send the Rolls-Royce Duo packing. Vote for President Obama and Elizabeth Warren!
