He's -- DNC in part to bring back the Bain attack.

A -- Mitt Romney as a job killer.

I don't think Mitt Romney is a bad man.

I don't voting for the fact that some companies win and some companies lose that's a fact -- One -- -- is making money without a moral compass.

They're putting prop -- people or people like me.

Romney and his partners.

Shut our plant down and ultimately drove up our company into bankruptcy.

Mitt Romney did go help make this next -- company a huge success top -- -- is the founder and former CEO of staples.

Now employs nearly 90000.

People good -- -- -- -- So you worked -- Mitt Romney.

We'd like to hear some adjectives.

That you believe about him do you when you were one of the previous speakers say he lacked the moral compass what did you think it's personality.

This is the most moral straightforward human being you -- ever worked with.

Which is why virtually everyone who's ever worked with -- wants to work -- again and again and again.

It's -- thing the Democrats don't wanna talk about facts they don't want talk about 23 million unemployed or underemployed Americans.

That -- talk about trillion dollar deficits.

They don't want to talk about the fact.

That our credit rating -- been downgraded.

They want to talk about fiction and whether it comes to Mitt Romney's record in just as an aside.

GSA's GST -- -- the company's.

That was -- -- little bit by the Democrats.

The fact is that company would have gone bankrupt ten years earlier had not being capital -- it so again they don't let facts get in the way.

You know we've heard that he is the consummate professional.

What is bedside manner like is he is he authoritative -- meeting is is he kind in meetings and what is he like.

First of all you better be undertones and he's an -- all the tough questions and he was my lead director for many years into.

Believe me you never want to -- it when you weren't prepared.

He wants you think through every single option because he wants -- choosing amongst.

The livable outcome is too great outcomes and not disasters not the kind disasters we have here's a country where.

Frankly keep -- more more money we don't have to solve problems he would not go out.

Like the president did and make an empty promise that you know I would take the money we've saved on the war.

And re deploy it to build infrastructure create jobs but the fact of the matter is we didn't have the money that we spent in the wars -- -- it.

So the only way to do with the present what to do is to borrow even more yeah it's great even a further debt load for our children -- that's just wrong.

Your money it's not my highlights the example that you gave of -- Mitt Romney knows how to pinch a penny.

What did you -- office supplies.

Well you know -- pitched the idea for staples the first office superstore to a budget venture capitalist many of them.

Did the little laughed about the notion of saving money on paper clips are legal pads Mitt Romney is the cheapest son of -- -- I -- in the world.

And when he heard about he can save a few bucks these things he was interests as much as an investor as a customer.

It's the cheapest of and I -- you know that is quite an endorsement not -- December.

You're the former -- CEO a -- of course of a firsthand account of working at Mitt Romney thanks so much for coming in insuring all that with us.

Thanks -- Nelson pleasure the fall.
