(from: NY Times The Caucus @ July 13, 2012, 04:11 PM)

(from: Political Wire @ July 13, 2012, 04:04 PM)

Brad DeLong: "It would be very unusual for somebody to have the titles... and to have no responsibilities whatsoever. In fact, I defy Glenn Kessler to come up with any example of anybody anywhere- -- save for Mitt Romney -- who has been characterized to the SEC as 'sole stockholder, chairman of the board, chief executive officer, and president' and also claimed to have no responsibilities whatsoever and to have merely been a passive investor."

Meanwhile, BuzzFeed has a SEC filing that might be the hardest for Romney to explain.
