Give me a break, I’m obviously not a huge Romney fan but that quote has been taken so far out of context it’s beyond comprehension. Here it is in its full context:

Via Politico:

The chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee on Tuesday pounced on Mitt Romney’s comment from the previous day about how he likes to “fire people,” saying it demonstrates the Republican candidate’s “insensitivity and callousness.”

“Is there anybody that likes firing people? Mitt Romney had the opportunity to be specific and talk about [how] he would let his insurance company go and switch insurance companies, but he didn’t,” Debbie Wasserman Schultz said on Fox News.

Listing off a handful of other examples in which the Florida congresswoman said Romney had shown a “pattern of callousness,” the DNC head added that she did not think Democrats had taken the “fire people” remarks out of context.

“I’m sorry, but no matter what situation you’re in, and the reason that you might sever your employment relationship with someone, no one says they enjoy it,” said Wasserman Schultz. “It’s not an enjoyable experience, and that’s just evidence of how Mitt Romney is really out of touch with the struggle of working families, the difficulty that the middle class has and trying to make sure that everybody has an opportunity to be successful in this country.”

On Monday, Romney had been referring to being able to hold health insurance providers accountable as an employer. He said, “I want individuals to have their own insurance. That means the insurance company will have an incentive to keep you healthy. It also means that if you don’t like what they do, you could fire them. I like being able to fire people who provide services to me. You know, if someone isn’t giving the good service, I want to say, I’m going to go get someone else to provide that service to me.”
