Firing Line

In response to the attacks coming from both conservatives (aka Perry and Gingrich) and liberals that Mitt Romney "likes to fire people", Anne Coulter (and Romney supporter) take a look at what he really said and what it really means.  Here is Anne:

Romney’s statement about being able to fire people was an arrow directed straight to the heart of Obamacare. (By the way, arrows to the heart are not covered by Obamacare.)

Talking about insurance providers, he said:

I want individuals to have their own insurance. That means the insurance company will have an incentive to keep you healthy. It also means if you don’t like what they do, you can fire them. I like being able to fire people who provide services to me. You know, if someone doesn’t give me a good service that I need, I want to say I’m going to go get someone else to provide that service to me.

So the actual context of Romney's statement was an argument against Obamacare, not a statement directed towards the people who worked under him at Bain Capital. I wonder why that little point has not been focused on by the media...

And some parting words of wisdom:

(And a tip for you Washington types: Just because a person became rich without working for government doesn’t mean he is “Wall Street.” A venture capital firm in Boston that tries to rescue businesses headed for bankruptcy, for example, is not “Wall Street.”)
