Mitt Romney: Not a Job Creator

DNC Video "Mitt Romney Not a Job Creator"

Barack Obama: If your main argument is for how to grow the economy is "I knew how to make a lot of money for investors" then you're missing what THIS job is about.

Steve Rattner: Mitt Romney made a mistake ever talking about the fact that he created 100,000 jobs. Bain Capital's responsibility was not to create 100,000 jobs or some other number it was to make profits for investors.

Tom Stemberg: I think the role of private equity and fiduciaries is to make money.

Jim Cramer: ...Bring in Bain, which is what happened in the 80s. They fire a lot of people and that's how they get prosperity for the rich.

Ed Rendell: Governor Romney has in fact made his experience at Bain capital one of the central points of why he thinks he should be president. So it's only fair that there's a full examination of what Bain Capital did and what it didn't do for the American people.

Beau Biden: Private equity, I have no problem with private equity, in fact it's a very important part of our economy. But it's a question about — you can't run as a job creator if you're in private equity. I've never met any of my fiends who are in private equity who say that's what their business is about. And that's what Romney tried to tell the American people about why that's a qualification for why he should be president of the United States.

If attacking Mitt Romney's record means you hate capitalism ...

Then attacking Pres. Obama's record must mean you love Osama bin Laden.

Mitt Romney cannot Govern the country because he sponsors his success in edge funds whose main goal is to make profit (firing thousands of people), while he hides his failure as a Governor of a State (47th in job creation and running away from his only success, Romneycare, with 62% approval rate), which means taking care of all the population, not only the stakeholders. Historically any American President who tried to run the Country as CEO was a very bad President.

Obama's says:"I'm fighting hard for the American people.." Now he's desperately fighting for his job. after spending 106 + Fundraisers (more than all 5 Presidents combined before him) & 104 Rounds of Golf (White house told him to quit his silliness) & went to ZERO JOB COUNCIL MEETINGS; so while USA is in the gutter this guy's had the time of his life. Mrs.Romney has spoke truly: "No one will work harder for Americans." Time to send Ex pres. to his real passion: Golf course....

Job creation is not the responsibility of the President of the U. S. Obama on Bill Cinton: "We created 23,000,000 jobs". No, you didn't. Thanks largely to dramatic advances in technology (ie, Bill Gates), business owners- small and large- created 23,000,000 jobs. Not you and Bill Clinton. Romney: "I will create 12 million jobs". No you won't. You'll sit on your ass, waste time, money, resorces and try to bullshit your way to a second term just like the dipshit buffoon that now sits on his ass.

Romney is not being pretentious when he makes his incredible verbal gaffes that seem so distant from the reality of most Americans. His life has been completely insulated from birth by the Mormon culture and wealth, and his awareness of reality is anecdotal. He was born and bred to be a patrician and has a patrician's point of view. He's of the new breed, the heartless and the entitled. These people play hardball with the disadvantaged, and that is the most disturbing thing about him

Planet Money podcast did a great show on companies like Bain. It was not pro or anti Romney -- it just educates you on what that sort of company does.

Right and it was thanks to the bush policys that allowed Obama to kill Bin laden. Then takes all of the credit from the brave members of seal team 6 that were the true heroes that went in there and killed him. By the way Mitt Romney has had a excelent record his state was in 48th place for job creation by the time he first served as govenor. What the mainstream liberal media and everybody else didn't tell you is that by the time his term as govenor ended his state was in 28th for job creation.

Excellent post comment you made. Like it and agree.

Silly liberals you continue to BITCH about Bain Capital. Not surprised because Obama has a SHITTY NIGHTMARE economic record.

[MrConservativeTalk]

The difference in this election is that Mitt Romney has a record of getting things done where as Barack Obama has used his power to pay back political allies and enjoy the good life as opposed to fixing this economy, millions of Americans today lack work, enough in wages, health insurance, or homes as a result of the failed policies of this administration.
