Mitt Romney Responds to Austan Goolsbee Attack

[dolphinsattack]

Gollsbee's "jobs creation" has been a complete disaster for America, he's just part of the Obama Chicago Crime Machine. Another failed Keynes Economist who has a little tiny following online of white gay liberal men who hang out at Media Matters and Huffingtonpost.

[dolphinsattack]

Goolsbee is just a academic, never had a real job in his life, he went from living off his upper middle class parents to having them put him through school. He's never been a ceo, never created a job, never written out a paycheck to a employee, he's basically another Paul Krugman. He talks very slow too, he's not articulate.

[democratsaresmart]

ROMNEY , I HAVE ? FOR U: "HOW ARE YOU GOING TO CREATE JOBS IN AMERICA IF POPULATION OF CHINA IS 1,4B ?

SHAME ON YOU! LIAR! HOW DO YOU SLEEP AT NITE? YOU LIE TO AMERICAN PEOPLE ABOUT JOBS ! YOU ARE JEALOUS OF OBAMA CUZ HE WANTS AMERICAN PEOPLE TO HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE, SHAME ON YOU ! UR WIFE HAS MS AND THIS HOW YOU DEFEND PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES?

LISTEN I A HAVE ONLY ONE CHILD AND YOU HAVE 5 CHILDREN, I KNOW UR TIRED , UR BRAIN CANT ABSORB- CHINESE WORK LIKE ROBOTS, REAGAN MADE RUSSIANS $

[villanova85]

Don't worry Mitt this guy thinks we are all ordinary workers/americans!!!!!!!!

[villanova85]

What an donkeyhole goolsbie is! He is an elite Richard who has called us ordinary american/workers!!!

[pricevans]

Wow! That was a comeback?

[canofsand]

@pricevans Romney doesn't need a petty "comeback" to trump the likes of that professional liar.

[spoole88]

Romney might have been more thorough, but I don't think he felt threatened by Goolsbee.

[peteykkk]

if I was named austan goolsbee, I'd shoot my parents for naming me. They must be pure losers! goolsbee is just an asshole, but what else is new!

[DRlambhead]

Well, one thing to mention is that Austan is not jewish, for whatever that is worth :eyeroll:

[Isabella8466]

Mitt makes idle claims without proof. He wins the prize for inconsistency.

[pillsbury09]

Mitt Romney is way smarter then this little weasel.

[rakrobn]

Yet he still got his ass kicked by Austan.

[rakrobn]

Yeah one that kicked John McCain's ass bitch.

[keltontrey]

So let me get this straight....Mitt Romney called in to reform a dieing company, but don't fire anyone? Sounds like a social view for a thriving capitalist market.

Say goodbye to our county as we know it.

[mrbadguysan]

So proud of his achievement that he can't even bare to mention any aspect of it specifically.

[Freeportfarmer]

I would be very comfortable with Mitt Romney as Treasury Secretary.

[Silberdachs]

Well surprise, surprise! Paulson asks for a huge government bailout just as Bush's term ends. We now know Paulson & Bernanke just didn't stumble onto this problem. If Congress had been informed months ago, the fat cats wouldn't have it so easy & there could have been enough time for real debate to take place. Now, the sky is failing and "you had better sign off or were all doomed!" We heard that same crap during the run up to the Iraq war.

Republicans: beyond hypocrisy, beneath contempt.

[jackfan143]

Who has gotten more monies from Freddie and Fannie Democrats and who was the one overseeing Freddie and Fannie a democrat. The hypocrites are democrats trying to place the blame elsewhere when they are to blame. They wanted everyone to get a house and it didnt matter if some could pay or not. In 2005 McCain and others sound the alarm about Freddie and Fannie and the democrats block them from doing so because they were getting tons of money from Freddie and Fannie.

[Silberdachs]

McCain has gone from 'fundamentals of our economy are strong' to 'we have to suspend the campaign & delay the debates in order to deal with the greatest economic crisis since WWII' in about a week. This is a cynical political ploy designed to help his sagging poll numbers & distract attention from McCain campaign manager Rick Davis was paid $15k a month by Freddie Mac as recently as last month, directly contradicting statements made by the entire campaign as late as Tuesday.

Suck it, asshole.

[jjones1987]

When McCain said "fundamentals of our economy are strong" he was talking about the American people, the American worker! The American workers are the fundamentals of our economy!

[Silberdachs]

jjtroll: bullshit.

[jackfan143]

you are full of bullshit

[jjones1987]

How am I a troll and since when is the truth bull?

[mrbadguysan]

Guess what, I've got a book in my hand. It's titled "The Fundamentals of Differential Equations".

It contains no biographies.

[TheSteelGeneral]

bull shit!!! that is such a copout, a spin and a lie. If you really believe that, I have some bridge to nowhere to sell you ... do you also believe in the magic bullit theory?

[jackfan143]

u suck it and open your mind and ears.

[dougmanjones]

True, Obama has gotten about $100,000 more from individuals employed by Freddie and Fannie than McCain has. That being said, $100,000 is a very small piece of any presidential campaign (both campaigns have exceeded $100 mill in fundraising). What's more troubling and relevant than personal contributions is the fact that Rick Davis, McCain's campaign manager, used to lobby for Freddie Mac, pushing for more lenient lending regulation. Yep. It's true.

[jackfan143]

better stop reading the NY times. Rick Davis was never a lobbist and he hasn't had any dealing with Frannie Mae sense 2006 however you Obama does two people in his campaign that work for Frannie and Frankin Raines recieved over 90 million from Fannie and is working with Obama on econmics? Yep its true

[Silberdachs]

Yep. So is Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy.

Go take your meds and lie down in a darkened room. Preferably for a decade or two. We'll let you know if we find a cure for your terminal cuntitis.

[dougmanjones]

1. I didn't read that in the NY Times - it was the AP. 1. Rick Davis' firm lobbied for Freddie Mac (not Fannie Mae) and was paid $35,000/month for years. Better stop watching Sean Hannity.

[TheSteelGeneral]

Rick Davis' firm got $15,000/month from either Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae until last month. For what? Giving valuable insights, consults, advice?? NOOOOOO, for nothing ...

They didn't do ANY work for them in 2008 ...

[TheSteelGeneral]

yeah right, mccain was getting more money from bot the PAC of FreddyFannie and the directors than Obama!

Obama got 120.000 for actual PEOPLE working there, but just 6000 from the PAC. Mccain got just 14.000 from people but 160.000 from the company itself.

asshole!

[TheSteelGeneral]

Shitt romney never says how much jobs and which companies!!! Which household names?

[dgj3925]

Bain Capital helped launch hundreds of companies on a successful course, including Staples, Bright Horizons Family Solutions, Domino's Pizza, Sealy, Brookstone, and The Sports Authority.

[kvyas2]

what a pussy response

[lthom33]

What Austan said was true. Romney stated he helped put over 57,000 jobs in MA but an economist said the economy did very poorly thru Romney years. McCain stated "They haven't been doing their job right or else we wouldn't have these massive problems on Wall Street, and that's a fact." McCain pushed for deregulation during his 26yrs in DC & signed Phil Gramm's Bill. Biden voted against it by the way. It was no oversight which allowed greedy CEOs to make bad deals

[imsosexysosexy]

Keeping your citizens under total internet surveillance what a great idea and then tell them its because you are afraid of another terror attack. A terror attack that was planned from the inside.

George W. Bush created the CHAOS and QUOTE "It will take time to restore chaos" and now we need to vote for the one that brings YOU -->> "NEW WORLD ORDER!!"

[Csaboska]

whoops "does NOT like sight"

[Csaboska]

The only solution...

Sell the whole State of Alaska on ebay.

That should bring in enough revenue to bail out those poor banks.

McCain knew what he was doing when he picked Palin as veep candidate.

Her main job will be to persuade Alaskans to migrate south before the Chinese take-over.

(Those who refuse are to be shot from air - and McCain does like the sight of blood on fresh snow...)

[Plutonwolf]

"Mitt Romney, tell us, how do you stand on deregulation?" "If I'm standing on thousand dollar bills? About thirty foot high very safely and stable, thank you very much"

Look at where the Mittster made his swag.

[ubuibiok]

THE Trap is set...

SINCE 1992 THE OFHEA WAS PAID OVER 65 MILLION a year TO SUPERVISE THE GOVERNMENT OVERSIGHT OF just 2 corporations FANNY MAY AND FREDDY MAC.........AND THEY REPORTED TO CONGRESS a clean record, no problems.

OFHEO Oversight

was and is a SHAME....

[PeaceChick07]

We need to seriously think before voting this year. This is no game as we can tell by the last 8 years. So many lost lives in an unnecessary war! Economy at rock bottom. So many lies. This country is in a sad state of affairs. We need leadership - not a popularity contest for Palin. The only rational vote is for Barack Obama.

[theunknownpatriot]

Barack is a bigot and could'nt lead the poor out of the Ghetto he organized so what makes you think he could a nation?  don't be a fool. he is not worthy of such a position

[Dawwwn09]

Words from a party that's about to be defeated... Republicans in '08=Losers. Don't even show up at the booth election day.

[BobAnonSmith]

I love how these repukes try to explain their neopopulism ... McBush said two days ago that he believes we need more regulations on Wall Street, but then turned around and said that the bill him and "America is a Nation of whiners" Phil Gramm putt together deregulating Wall Street and causing this mess was good for america.

If America votes these idiots in were in for a ton of trouble.

[theunknownpatriot]

so cute names! try Obama bin Biden.

The point is they are all crap.

[TabOraSunset]

Vote Libertarian! Vote Ralph Nader! Support Dr. Ron Paul!

[theunknownpatriot]

???? you do know that Barr is running for the libertarian party Not Ralph. hey Paul is cool

[TabOraSunset]

Umm, well, I just subscribed to Nader08 and made a phone call an hour ago to Obama's HQ to ask that Ralph Nader be included in the upcoming presidential debates and also emailed the executive director at Commission on Presidential Debates demanding to lift the exclusionary restrictions so that Ralph Nader be allowed to participate in the debates, so it sounds like he's running. Ron Paul supports Ralph Nader since he is not running himself. I don't know who Barr is???

[raguv2000]

Lost jobs aren't always a bad thing, it could mean more efficient companies

Looking at the success of a company through that one lens is moronic

[C0ct0pus]

"Lost jobs aren't always a bad thing"

unless you're one of the poor schmucks that just got canned.

[socalkickboxer]

Mormons! Mitt Romney has 24 wives and 130 children.

Save them vote ObamaBiden 08!

[jjones1987]

what a despicable comment and what's worse is that people are giving you thumbs up for it!

[socalkickboxer]

jjones1987: Eat a dick...don't get your panties in a bunch because Romney is a Morman with 24 wives and 130 children...with a view that says people are further from god the darker their skin is....you and romney can go enjoy a nice relaxing rape

[jjones1987]

You are a vile disgusting excuse for a human being. Your mother needs to wash your mouth out with soap and teach you some manners!

[socalkickboxer]

jjones1987: Kiss my ass

[rakrobn]

No you're a disgusting piece of shit you GOP ass licker.

[osiris33]

Austan Goolsbee and Stephanie Cutter are some tough surrogates.

[WhoopTDu]

Poor widdle Mittens. Jilted for Caribou Barbie.

[dogstar7]

Michael Flaherty, Reuters Jan 24, 2008:

"Private equity past may cloud Romney's jobs pitch

"Recalling his days as a businessman, Republican U.S. presidential contender Mitt Romney often cites the 25 years he spent in the private sector creating jobs.

"But as the leader of private equity firm Bain Capital from 1984 to 1999, Romney's record shows that while some of the firm's investments helped companies grow, others ended in thousands of layoffs, and in some cases, bankruptcy."

[dogstar7]

"...Layoffs are a common result of private equity takeovers, with Bain Capital no exception. Although Romney is credited with helping make Bain the private equity powerhouse it is today, buyout firms are known more for cutting jobs -- not creating them."

[GBTRU]

Proud that the companies he has headed up, lost jobs? These politicians sure now how to spin.

[silverman567]

Goolsbee is a don.

[minizer999]

LOL Goolsbee owns repugs for a living

[y2raza]

Mitt "please buy my snake oil" Romney has been devastated by PALIN pick he was so looking to back a 72 yr old man so at the first chance he could get he would have saddled himself into the presidency, but it did not happen.

what a TOOL

[osiris33]

lol...
