If you owned a business, who would you hire to run it: Obama or Romney?

[UpAndAbout]

Neither one. why do right wingers always seem to limit the options to this or that?
Absolutists....

Well, we are about to give the reigns of the largest economy in the world to only ONE OF TWO people. And they are the two.

When you get the voters pamphlet before election, there are several other parties with candidates: Green Party, Socialist Party, Independent, even Communist, and several others.

Obama would bring in unions while you were gone and double everyone's pay until you were bankrupt and then you'd have to either shut down or lay off half the employees. The man doesn't have a clue how to run a country, let alone a business. I'd like to see him as a sole proprietor, wonder how he'd do.

If your business is a "non-profit" then Barry would be your man.

I'm sorry but Mitt Romney IS a successful businessman...Barack Obama not "isn't" a successful businessman...I'm quite certain he will never BE a successful businessman.

the US government IS non-profit. you do know that, right?

Obama is not just overseeing the government. As a matter of fact, his refusal to take responsibility for the GSA issue, and his admitting he knew nothing of fast and furious is proof he is not overseeing the government at all.

However.....

He signs laws that affect the business owners that are profit oriented.

Maybe it is your not understanding this that is your problem.

Well...amongst others.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

We have record deficits, our first ever credit downgrade, Americans are on a budget but our government isn't, Obama's practical jokes called "budgets" get voted down unanimously; then, so there's no doubt the government has no respect at all for the effort that we put into earning money to pay taxes, they "invest" in instant bankrupt Green Energy companies and then go to Vegas.

Barry, you're fired

Running a business gives Romney no experience similar to running a country. When you are CEO, you make the decisions. A president must deal with Congress, international forces, public and political pressure and a global US presence. Romney has no experience in these areas.
Running a business gives you no experience in politics

Oh sure a Board of Directors is a piece of cake. Investors are easy to convince, profits are an ugly word. Yea, it's no where near the same.

It is nowhere near the same. Romney ran a relatively small company with nowhere near the responsibility of a Senator or Congressman

wow....you have got to be kidding me.

Nowhere near the responsibility of a senator or congressperson,,,,,

You really are clueless as to what they do in congress....and even more clueless about what is involved in running a business.

 

[hortysir]

Well...let's see about that

President Obama

3 Years President of the United States
4 Years US Senator
8 Years Illinois State Senate

Mitt Romney

4 Years Governor

The level of experience is not even close. Romney has little political experience and that experience was four years ago. He has no foreign policy experience, no experience working with Congress.

Yet it seemed more than enough for you to elect Nobama.
The majority of his 4 yrs as US Senator was spent grooming and then campaigning.
His time spent a state Senator for Illinois, that state ran one of the highest deficits in the country. Guess what? He's at it again!

There are 100 Senators and 435 Congressmen in the US. They have the responsibility of running a multi trillion dollar enterprise with 300 million people. You tell me Romney ran a Fortune 500 company and I would be impressed.
Running Bain Capital is not a significant achievement

Easy one for you...

What has Romney accomplished in the last four years?

 

[ducks102]

no white republican would ever hire a black person

secondly romney gets millions from daddy

obama actually came up from nothing to something without taking millions from daddy

 

[Vel]

Why would you assume that running a business is more experience than running a country?

Your problem with citing Obama's experience running a country is that he has sucked at it. Romney made millions making businesses successful, Obama let our country's credit get downgraded and has put massive debt on the credit card with no means or plan to pay it off.

When the CEO is destroying the company, it's time to replace him.

According to the left....yes....YOU....business experience is not necessary to be President.....the senior individual of government.

However, to run a company such as Bain capital....business experneicne is a must.

Wow....you are so hell bent on being right, you contradict yourself in one post mand dont even realize it.

I like you RW....buyt you dont debate. You simply make statements...many times contradicting earlier statements..

Unless...of course....you want to claim that you never felt Obama was qualified to run a multi trillion dollar enterprise.

Obama took money from someone..he just isn't saying who. You don't pay for Ivy league educations with nothing. At least we know Romney won't need to leach off of taxpayer money. I bet he won't even take a salary.

Four years ago, Obama was not the most qualified candidate to run the country. But the american people decided they vastly preferred him to what the Republicans were offering

As of today, Romney has no where near the qualifications or experience of Obama........the voters will decide the rest

And it's pretty easy to point out what that lack of experience has led to. Pumped gas lately?

 

[Katzndogz]

obama had never run a business. Nor had he made any study of business principles so he would never be qualified to run a business the way Romeny is.

Since obama can't get past his lack of qualifications, we don't need to go to the deliberate damage he would do to make the business "fair".

 

[gallantwarrior]

Ummmm, Obama would break the bank in less than a week.

And the only thing he would guarantee your children and grandchildren would be that they'd never be punished with a baby.

 

[gallantwarrior]

Neither one. why do right wingers always seem to limit the options to this or that?
Absolutists....

If neither was acceptable, who would you hire as an alternative?

 

[Uncensored2008]

Ummmm, Obama would break the bank in less than a week.

He'd just empty the accounts into the pockets of union bosses, then tell the workers how much better off they are with him, despite being laid off...

 

[gallantwarrior]

Romney. Obama has never run a business in his life. He knows only working for government and/or pushing an agenda. That is what he did as a community organizer and that is what he's doing now.

He'd run a company into the ground in no time because he has no sense when it comes to spending money wisely. He can't even pick a good company to invest in. Look at Solyndra and Obama rushed that loan through. I still wonder where the money went and suspect that it changed hands and ended up in some Democrat campaigns.

You forgot the budget. Obama has apparently never had to run a budget.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Wasn't being a "businessman" touted as a plus for George W. Bush?

Simple question. Simple answer. Simple and obvious point.

Wasn't Bush a dozen times better president than Obama? (Despite being an absolutely shitty president..)

Simple question. Simple answer. Simple and obvious point.
