It’s a poor political trick to blame a governor, or president, or mayor for a mistake that some appointee made imo.

People will have fun with this for a while, but really, why is this Romney’s fault?

I’ll give this scandal its fair due when I see

DEMOCRATS HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT THEIR JUDICIAL APPOINTEES DO.

Romney is a fool who appointed this woman, based on the fact that she is a woman. Romney made “a concerted effort to find qualified women and minority candidates for the bench,” spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom told the State House News Service on April 26, 2006. “For a long time, women and minorities didn’t even bother applying for judgeships because of the perception that the whole process was politically wired.” Fehrnstrom reportedly suggested that although none of these four women was a minority member, people should “stay tuned” for Romney to name judges of color. “The governor is interested in making sure that appointments to the bench, to the extent possible, reflect the diversity of the community at large,” Fehrnstrom said to the Boston Globe. This is what liberals do. Romney is a disgrace to the conservative cause.

why is this Romney's fault?

Because when you are more concerned about political correctness than the quality of your appointees, you increase the odds one of them will make a poor decision.

For a time I considered Romney, but no more. He is so concerned about playing to the press, he tries to say and do the "Politically Correct" thing all the time, and will throw anyone under the bus to get in the good graces of the press.

“Why is this Romney’s fault”

Romney’s big claim is that he was “an executive” — that is, he chose good people to run things.

Fact is, Romney chose bad people, and his choices got people killed.
