Romney all business: We'll have to ask the lawyers

by Jill Zuckman

DEARBORN, Mich. – For a moment today, Mitt Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, showed himself to be the business executive that he really is.

"You sit down with your attorneys," said Romney, explaining his decision-making process in a time of potential crisis.

Obviously, Romney said, the president has to do what's in the best interest of the country. And President Bush did just that as he prepared to move on Iraq, asking for and getting Congress's approval. But did Bush need approval, Chris Matthews, the moderator pressed.
