Yet how,
with a straight face, can Mitt Romney swear that
he's responsible for absolutely nothing that
happened at his vulture capital gig after 1999,
while he insists that absolutely everything that
happened after January 2009, when Obama took
charge of the Bush-era total economic and
financial disaster, is the president's fault?
And how, with a straight face, can Romney swear again and again he was not accountable for anything that happened at his firm even when he remained as its CEO; what kind of accountable president would that be?
And then, when he's caught lying, the best he can come up with is an extended Nixonian "I'm not a crook" moment in the form of a blitzkrieg of every US network and cable station in sight.
For large swathes of US voters though, Mitt as tax cheat is a label now inscribed in stone. Waves of converging punditry are adamant that the only way to remedy the disaster would be for him to release his tax returns for the past 12 years. There's no evidence he will do it -- because that could probably, overwhelmingly, confirm the Obama campaign ad.
Yet this political Hellfire missile goes
way beyond Mitt and Bain. Mitt Romney the
unaccountable corporate cyborg couldn't be a more
graphic representation of the Masters of the
Universe -- the key financial engineers of the
destruction of the US economy and the American
middle class, while the wealthy are lavishly
sheltered from every storm. Welcome to the land of
the un-free, home of the bravely unaccountable.
