Last Friday, the unemployment rate rose to 8.2 percent and 300,000 more people joined the long-term unemployed. One week later, President Obama said the private sector is doing fine. Only a president that presides over forty months of unemployment over 8 percent would think that the last jobs report is "doing fine." These comments show that President Obama is completely out of touch with the middle class.

"Has there ever been a president so out of touch with the middle class?"

No, but there will be if you get elected, Mitt.

8.2... Funny how they fail to mention here what that number's come down from.

I guess when you've never built a business from the ground up, using your own money made by working for someone else and saved, with no loans, nothing but your own initiative, talent, hard work, and dedication, it is impossible to understand how it can be done. I have done it, all while raising a child, supporting a household because my husband didn't make enough to even pay rent, and I worked my butt off and made it a success. I didn't get any government help, I paid my taxes. I did it alone!

Romney hasn't even discussed what his PLAN is to create jobs, since he's such a great job creator and all.

Also...where will he make the cuts to keep things the way they were in the Bush era...but more beefed up....so...how will he do it?
