Well, finally Romney is catching some real hell. Romey said he likes "firing people." He now says he meant firing insurance companies and "Obamacare"won't let him do it, which is of course false. And so in truth he's not telling the truth.

Why is this perspective on Romney just now breaking into news? We've known for months, years even, that he worked for a company that raids corporations and downsized them.
