Mitt Romney and the bully pulpit

Letter to AJC 5-14- 2012

Mitt Romney seems to have a problem with selective memory. He can't recall the bullying incident at prep school. He doesn't remember when he was a bishop in the Mormon church threatening excommunication of a lady if she didn't give up her child for adoption. He can't remember the incident when he insisted that a desperately ill women not have an abortion, even though she was facing a life threatening situation. 

After some prompting, he seems to remember driving for 12 hours with his dog on the roof of the car, but he doesn't seem too fazed by it.  He dismisses reports of all the hardship and pain he caused at Bain consulting when he eviscerated companies and fired people by the thousands to enrich himself and his buddies.

Mitt seems to slough off all these past sins. He seems to feel that he is entitled to treat people any way he wants . We can see it in his future plans for the country.  If he is elected the rich will surely enjoy more wealth  and  privilege,  whilst the poor, the weak, and  gays will have to fight for survival, and females will have to give up all the gains they have made in the last century.
