He is neither.

There is also the myth of the master business builder. Romney’s business experience was as a private equity partner, not the CEO of an operating company or even a venture capitalist. Private equity is all about buying companies for a song, loading them with debt, stripping their assets, assessing them high management fees, cutting their workforces to dress them up to flip. This is pure vulture capitalism, not developing, growing and investing as he is portrayed.
Once he is the nominee expect the airways to be flooded with sad stories featuring single mothers and poor elderly people who lost their jobs and pensions when Bain bought their employer. I can hear the Obama message now — “Bain and Romney made $50 million on XYZ company while only putting up $2 million of Bain’s money. After 25 years of loyal service JIm and Mary, lost their jobs, their health care, and their pensions when Bain took possession of XYZ. Three years later XYZ filed for bankruptcy costing the US economy 2000 more jobs. Mitt Romney, is he the kind of businessman you can afford to have running the country?”
I’m voting for Newt in the TX primary. Want to let Mittens know that I don’t like much of anything he’s pontificating.
