Top 11 Reasons Mitt Romney Likes Firing People

Mitt Romney recently helped the mainstream media toward their goal of reelecting President Obama. He served up a perfect quote that can be taken out of context to help them validate their narrative that he is an evil, heartless, robber baron.

Romney's words during a breakfast forum of the Nashua Chamber of Commerce included these words on why the free market is a better provider of goods and services than the government:

I like being able to fire people who provide services to me. You know, if someone doesn't give me the good service I need, I want to say, ‘You know, I'm going to get someone else to provide this service to me.'

The media is happy to cut the quote off at the end of the first sentence. Even Romney's Republican rivals have been happy to take his words out of context. In that spirit, we've come up with the top 11 media analyst explanations for their out of context conclusion that Romney derives pleasure from firing people:
