SOMETHING YOU WILL NOT FIND IN THE NEWS
> Whether you like Romney or not, this story is very revealing:
>
>
> Sometimes, this facet of Romney's personality isn't so subtle. In July
> 1996, the 14-year-old daughter of Robert Gay, a partner at Bain
> Capital, had disappeared. She had attended a rave party in New York
> City and gotten high on ecstasy. Three days later, her distraught
> father had no idea where she was and Romney took immediate action. He
> closed down the entire firm and asked all 30 partners and employees to
> fly to New York to help find Gay's daughter. Romney set up a command
> center at the LaGuardia Marriott and hired a private detective firm to
> assist with the search. He established a toll-free number for tips,
> coordinating the effort with the NYPD, and went through his Rolodex
> and called everyone Bain did business with in New York , and asked
> them to help find his friend's missing daughter.

> Romney's accountants at Price Waterhouse Cooper put up posters on
> street poles, while cashiers at a pharmacy owned by Bain put fliers in
> the bag of every shopper. Romney and the other Bain employees scoured
> every part of New York and talked with everyone they could,
> prostitutes, drug addicts, anyone.
>
> That day, their hunt made the evening news, which featured photos of
> the girl and the Bain employees searching for her. As a result, a
> teenage boy phoned in, asked if there was a reward, and then hung up
> abruptly. The NYPD traced the call to a home in New Jersey , where
> they found the girl in the basement, shivering and experiencing
> withdrawal symptoms from a massive ecstasy dose. Doctors later said
> the girl might not have survived another day. Romney's former partner
> credits Mitt Romney with saving his daughter's life, saying, "It was
> the most amazing thing, and I'll never forget this to the day I die."
>
> So, here's my epiphany: Mitt Romney simply can't help himself. He sees
> a problem, and his mind immediately sets to work solving it, sometimes
> consciously, and sometimes not-so-consciously. He doesn't do it for
> self-aggrandizement, or for personal gain. He does it because that's
> just how he's wired.
>
> Many people are unaware of the fact that when Romney was asked by his
> old employer, Bill Bain, to come back to Bain & Company as CEO to
> rescue the firm from bankruptcy, Romney left Bain Capital to work at
> Bain & Company for an annual salary of one dollar. When Romney went to
> the rescue of the 2002 Salt Lake Olympics, he accepted no salary for
> three years, and wouldn't use an expense account. He also accepted no
> salary as Governor of Massachusetts.
>
> CHARACTER COUNTS!!! The media and Obama re-election machine may focus
> on Romney's wealth and the immorality of it, as they see it, but
> Romney is obviously a man who uses his wealth to bless and to make this world a
> better place.
