Tennessee Commissioner of Economic and Community Development Bill Hagerty, a key Romney adviser, acknowledged other candidates are vying for the Republican nomination but "it is important to put in the best person to stand up to Barack Obama."
Hagerty said he and Romney had both started their careers at the same firm and that he has known the candidate for more than half his life.
He told a story about Romney being in a meeting when he determined his son, Tagg, had lost a water ski, over which he was moping. [font color="red"]Romney left the meeting and went out in a boat for about 1½ hours until the ski was found,[/font] he said.
"He taught the value of perseverance," he said.

(30,885 posts)1). We have no idea of the magnitude of the meeting or Romney's immediate contribution. He COULD have left with no impact, or he COULD have left everyone else in the meeting high and dry while he went looking for his moping kid's ski.
2). Did he tell the truth to everyone present? Did he say "I have a family emergency" (lie) or "I'm going to leave for a couple of hours so I can go look for my spoiled rotten, moping kid's water ski" (truth)?

(30,885 posts)I really wanted to comment on it..."He taught Tagg the value of moping."

(19,339 posts)...to keep moping until Da-da came out and did the hard work for him so he'd stop being sad. What a beautiful lesson.

(61,710 posts)To chase down a lost ski? Good grief. I guess appeasing Tagg to make sure nothing aggravates his beautiful mind is top priority.

(30,885 posts)He's the one who:
1). Went Tweet-crazy when Mad Men "dissed" his granddad George
2). Went Tweet-crazy on Ted Nugent endorsing his dad (his now-infamous "How cool is THAT" remark)

(15,189 posts)Nobody questioned him on as why he chose to help the victims instead of doing his job. Yet another mystery surrounding 9/11. But hey, "Go Shopping", and don't blame ANYONE. LOL!
Everyday we get more little tidbits of Mittens childish behavior.
