Mitt Romney Says He Started Out at the 'Entry Level' | Crooks and Liars

Mitt Romney Says He Started Out at the 'Entry Level' Crooks and Liars

“I know what it’s like to wonder whether you’re going to get fired. A couple of times I wondered if I was going to get a pink slip.”

Speaking at a Nashua Chamber of Commerce breakfast Monday, Mr. Romney began by noting he did not always hold high-level positions. Rather, he said he started off “at the entry level.”

Ah yes.



Willard started out like every other slob -- whose father happened to be the CEO of the American Motors, governor of Michigan and held a cabinet-level position in the Nixon administration. Who grew up in one of the five wealthiest cities in the U.S. and who attended an exclusive prep school -- then went to college at Stanford and Harvard. Who, at the height of the Vietnam War, spent two and a half years running around in France.

Yep, he's a real-life Horatio Alger character, that Willard.
