How is what Romney's company did much different than what Obama has done?

AT LEAST Romney's company did it with their own money and not taxpayer's money.

Obama has invested taxpayer's money in all sorts of Green Energy companies which have gone bankrupt. Their employees are out on the street now without pensions, healthcare, or an income.

When Obama bought GM, lots of dealerships were closed. All those people who worked at those dealerships lost everything. Union people got sweet deals while management got fired and lost everything.

No...OBama is no different except he gambles with TAXPAYER'S money....and always picks LOSERS.

LOL Romney loyalist. You actually know that I'm going to vote and you know who I'm voting for?

Typical democrat making an ASSumption.

The ASSumption is solely dependent on the kind of sound you make.

Oh yeah, on those green energy initiatives, if they speak for something, they only speak for what kind of society we're... impotent to take advantage and innovate. Leave that to those who are instead leading the way.

Actually no. Govt. does not operate for profit. By definition they can not privatize profit. Seriously, you can do better.

Since when are businesses dissected into "sort of" and "full tilt" based on some convenient and arbitrary liberal definition?

Bain Capital is a business with balance sheets, income statements, and tax filings. Therefore, it is a legitimate business that was built by someone, somewhere.

Business 101. Something forum liberals know nothing about. Sort of like the President they worship.
