Hey DUers with good memory...

I need help with recalling the name of a new PR lady that Romney just hired like a week or so ago. This lady did work for BP on the oil spill off Louisiana and supposedly did a good job.. She was supposedly hired to help Mittard with his image and also help to sanitize Bain. She also is supposedly the best PR money can buy. I'm just trying to recall her as I find it unbelievable that rMoney is still fugging things up to this day including the rMoney spokesperson on FAUX news this morning. Who is she and what's the name of the company she works for? Thanks.... Love all your soundbites!

, a former top aide to Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson, has told colleagues that she will join the Romney campaign to lead a vigorous effort to defend his career in the private sector, a source told BuzzFeed Wednesday.
Davis is currently a partner at the Brunswick Group in Washington, D.C., a corporate public relations and strategy firm, where she was reportedly the firm's lead — alongside her then partner Hilary Rosen — in managing the oil company BP's public relations effort in the wake of a giant Gulf of Mexico oil spill. She served as Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs and Director of Policy Planning at the Department of the Treasury from 2006 through the end of the Bush Administration, and is a veteran of the politics and P.R. of government and finance.

I guess she'd be a good a choice as anyone if you needed to make something awful seem a little less worse than it is.

As to Mittard's so-called success at screwing Italy out of a billion dollars and in the process he became persona-non-grata to Italy. This is what Davis said of this success!? WTF??

“With this investment, Mitt Romney and Bain Capital, with its consortium partners, partnered with a new management team to transform this company, and grow it into a tremendous success,” said Michele Davis , a spokeswoman for Romney’s presidential campaign. “Mitt Romney is running for President to put that experience to work.”
