Of all the companies that Bain Capital attempted to turn around, the number that were successfully turned around is far, far greater than the number that failed.

Yeah......so they can give up most of the money they generate to CEO bonuses rather than better wages and more contributions toward health care. Yeah, they're really happy about the good things Mitt Romney has done for them.

I'm talking about people loosing they're jobs, they're homes, etc.? Not people who have lived off of Welfare...

In other words...at this point in his life, he has no clue what it's like to struggle and what needs to be done...all he wants to do, is cater to the rich as every other president has....

I'm talking getting companies to come back to the U.S. He is claiming to be able to create jobs? How, how can a president create jobs, if companies are constantly out sourcing?
So, using your theory, poor cashless Obama should have been the Antithesis of Washington DC. What happened? Are you saying that Obama, the regular guy, has not cozied up to the rich people you obviously hate?

Do you think they'd rather not have the jobs at all?

Let them eat cake.

Mitt Romney has 3 homes. A large house in California, a summer lake home in New Hampshire, and a condo in Boston.

Exactly...have you ever heard of CEO's and upper management making these bonus's giving them up to help create more jobs...NO, they keep firing people and farming those same jobs out to consultants...so they can continue to meet they're Bonus.

I have nothing against the rich, unless they take away from others to remain that way...and that is what is presently going on...
If you're against all that, then the worst possible candidate running would be Barack Hussein Obama. His will be the most over-funded campaign in history and believe me it isn't people working for minimum wage at McDonald's that are funding his billion dollar campaign. It's the rich elites.

We don't need a president who is going to scratch the backs of the rich...we need a president who is an average man, who understands the needs of this country and what it's going to take to rebuild it...and all areas of our world here in the U.S. must be rebuilt.
The common sense choice would be Ron Paul then.

Everyone else just pokes and prods at the underlying problems in America. Ron Paul has solutions that actually fix things. He served as a doctor in the military and is a career OBGYN doctor. He's got more commonality with the average man than any of the rest.
