The Big Bad Wolf.

Obama's trying to walk one helluva fine line here, saying that private equity is fine but the practices of one guy were not. Holy crap, is he sure he really wants to do this? Especially since so many Dems are cozy with Wall Street contributors?
If only money didn't play such a role in politics. Ah, to dream...

Actually no.
What he's saying is that Romney didn't create jobs, quite the opposite..jobs were lost due the the actions of his company. Romney's trying to state that what he learned at Bain should be applied to government.
Which would be disastrous in the minds of some.
Of course..some people think Bush was a good President.
Not to put too fine a point on this, but Romney was working for Bain, not for the companies they invested in. The question is not how the companies that were in trouble when purchased by Bain did, but how did Bain do?
Regarding Bush, he lost sight of what his job was. His job was us, as in U.S., and he thought his job was to grow freedom abroad. A fundamental misunderstanding of mission.
We can all admire his idealism in this and still understand that his goals were inappropriate and unrealistic based on a misunderstanding of the world. It's obvious now that the stone age world view of the Muslim cursed Middle Easterners will not allow democratic rule. Those poor bastards are just plain screwed.
Anyway, Romney knows his stuff and Obama does not. Obama's recent claim that under his guidance our debt has risen more slowly than under any president for 60 years is just plain dishonest and deceiving.
This falls under the general heading of "Stop pissing on my hat. I know it ain't raining."
Bottom line is Romney knows how to make money. He's good at it..because he's ruthless. He doesn't give a whit about anyone that lost jobs and/or benefits. That's the way venture capital works. During Obama's administration, over 4 million jobs were created in the private sector and many were saved by the stimulus package when "tax cutting" governors like Jindal and Perry used the money to plug up holes in their state budgets.
Romney wouldn't have done that.
He doesn't care. Simple as that.
