I definitely saw him in action (or inaction). It was sad because we had to sit and watch other states excel and thrive while Mass just got worse and worse every year.
This joker Romney is trying to portray himself as some great jobs creator when, in reality, he's nothing but a FRAUD.
It's a stone-cold FACT that Mass. ranked a laughable 47th in job creation when this clown was in charge:
Yeah, Massachusetts actually lost population during his time in office. It's a real help to your unemployment rate when the unemployed simply give up on your failed economic policies and move to another state under stronger gubernatorial leadership (i.e, Alaska).

Really is amazing, 'Yankee
Willard's economic record in Mass. was TERRIBLE ... yet somehow these con zombies are convinced that he'll be this great jobs-creating president.
LMAO
That's akin to taking some minor league pitcher who had a 4-15 record with a 6.28 ERA in AA ball and letting him start Game 7 of the World Series.
LOL
No manager in their right mind would ever do something like that...
Governor Romney Closed A Nearly $3 Billion Shortfall Without Raising Taxes And Balanced Four Budgets. “When Mitt Romney became governor of Massachusetts in 2003, the state had a budget gap of almost $3 billion and was losing thousands of jobs a month. In Mr. Romney’s four-year tenure, the deficit was eliminated without raising the sales tax or the income tax, and since the labor slump hit bottom in December 2003, the state has gained 81,000 jobs.” (Pam Belluck, "Romney Candidacy Puts Massachusetts Economy In Spotlight," The New York Times, 3/16/07)
Governor Romney Left More Than $2 Billion In The State’s Rainy Day Fund. “Yet much good conservative work was done on his watch: restructuring and streamlining of state government, the elimination of a $3 billion deficit and the addition of $2 billion to a ‘rainy day’ fund, and reducing red tape for small businesses - all without raising taxes or adding to state debt.” (Editorial, “Vote For Romney On Saturday,” Charleston Post & Courier, 1/20/12)

Massachusetts’ Unemployment Rate Fell From 5.6% To 4.7% During The Romney Administration. (Bureau Of Labor Statistics, www.bls.gov, Accessed 5/31/12)
Boston Business Journal, January 2007: “Thousands Of People Are Re-Entering Massachusetts' Work Force As Its Jobs Engine … Continues To Gain Traction.”(Boston Business Journal, 1/1/07)
Boston Globe: “Romney’s Policies Are Credited With Improving The State’s Competitiveness.” “Romney’s policies are credited with improving the state’s competitiveness. His administration promoted high-density development to increase housing production, got a fast-track permitting law enacted by the Legislature to help businesses expand, and revived an agency to help firms move to the state.” (Brian Mooney, Stephanie Ebbert and Scott Helman, “Ambitious Goals,” The Boston Globe, 6/30/07)

People left because of the DOT.com Bubble bursting. But don't let facts get in the way.

Well, forget about the jobs added or not.. What i saw in the 2nd debate from Romney was even more crazy..
At the start of the debate he said that he has some plan to add 12 million new jobs...
And towards the end of the debate he said in very frustrated manner .. "govt do not create jobs.. Govt do not create jobs..."
I am not sure why someone would give any thought for voting this guy.. He contradicts himself every 20-30 mins.. And this not something new, i remember this kinda flip flops even when he was Gov of MA!!

This FRAUD Romney has no real jobs plan, MA2NC2012.
The best economist in the country (Krug) thoroughly exposed this fraud's so-called plan in the linked piece above.
