On Romney ***He looks, talks and acts like a president. His record of job creation is exemplary.***
Wrong!
I agree that Romney has no testable job-creation stats. (It’s one reason I liked Perry before Perry’s mouth undid him: (although governors don’t create jobs,) Texas has an unbeatable job-creation track record.)
Romney DOES “look like a president” in the central casting sense. I have some relatives who actually SAY THIS to me when they explain their “Romney First” stances. Uhm, ok? It’s nice that he doesn’t look like Martin van Buren? But just dang.
Yes, I nearly stopped reading when I saw that stupid remark. Mr. Plastic Man does not look, talk or act like a president...well, unless you mean Obama...and he has no “job creation” record.
Even without going into the specifics of what Bain Capital did and how it did it, there is absolutely no record of “job creation” in any of this. For one thing, they kept no records of this and backing it out is a highly subjective and probably somewhat impossible task. As many if not more jobs were probably lost in the numerous companies they bought and sold, and it was actually that claim (job creation) that Gingrich was challenging. But Romney seems to be exempt from the requirement to tell the truth or provide the facts about anything, another quality he shares with Obama.
That one didn't ring right with me, either. Romney didn't make the case that his Bain Capital is a turnaround company, not a vulture capitalist. I think they were vulture capitalists, myself, until someone proves better.
As for "talks like a president", uh, no -- not quite so much. If anyone, when Mittens is up and animated, he reminds me of The Gorebot, actually.
This argument falls on deaf ears because no politician ever created a job without destroying more jobs.
If we continue to accept the premise that politicians create jobs we are sunk forever.
Try this. He looks talks and acts like (Republican party national elites and Wall Street bankers’)their idea of a President.
I don’t like Newt, but I detest Romney and the process which dumps him on us.
