You'd like to think so, but if you had a better grasp of what words
mean you realise that your claim is - as usual - fatuous.

Perhaps, but the history you cite doesn't make Mitt Romney the creator
of that particular business. Bain Capital were the venture capitalists
that got it going, and deserve credit for recognising that the people
who created the business had had a good idea, but they were more
midwives than parents.
