That's great he can do that in business... But he didn't do that in government when he had the chance. In fact if he was graded on a curve with the other 49 states he was in the bottom... Beat out I think it was three states for job creation... I mean he didn't do any better than half of them. How the hell can you say he's good at job creation in regards to government?Our nations is at a crossroads. We are at a brink of financial collapse. 16 trillions in debt. Our money is decreasing in value. Businesses arent investing because of the uncertainty of taxes, government intereference, Obamacare, etc. We have some real problems.
Romney is uniquely experienced to deal with these problems. He made a fortune taking failing companies, turning them around, eliminating waste, and making them turn a profit. He took the Olympics which was deep in debt and scandal and turned it around. He balanced the budgets in Mass. We need a leader with experience doing exactly what Mitt Romney has done his entire adult life in order to turn this nation around. To balance our budgets. To eliminate government corruption. To assure the free market that it will remain free and that the government will get out of our lives.
Well... With a straight face?
Quite easily. I dont believe the lies
FactCheck.org : Democratic Disinformation from Charlotte
Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn went on the offensive, saying Romney had failed to deliver on campaign promises he made while running to become governor of Massachusetts. But some of Quinns talking points were a stretch.
Quinn: Mitt Romney promised Massachusetts three things: more jobs, less debt and smaller government. Then he left his state 47th out of 50 in job growth, added $2.6 billion in debt and on his watch, government jobs grew six times faster than private-sector jobs. What does Romney promise today? More jobs, less debt and smaller government. But he didnt do it then, and he wont do it now.
Weve covered some similar claims before. Lets start with the claim that Romney left his state 47th out of 50 in job growth. Thats a slightly different twist on a recurring Democratic attack line. Its true that over Romneys entire four years as governor, the state ranked 47th out of 50 states in percentage of job growth. But thats a four-year, cumulative number. The states ranking actually improved while Romney was in office.
In the 12 months before Romney took office, the state ranked 50th in job creation, and by his final year, the state ranked 28th. Quinn would have been more accurate to say Romney left his state in 28th place, not 47th.
28th is a bit higher than 47th, wouldn't you agree?
And considering it was at full employment, how much better do you think he can do?
