So, Romney is not running for government. Instead the idea is to replace government with a corporation? May be that is why republicans are so high on "businessman". But then, Mussolini was too!!
James Lipton offered an excellent question yesterday on "Hardball." He wondered, "do we want a president or a boss?"
Very provocative question IMHO.
On the same show, the author of a book called "The Plutocrats." Another excellent discussion. They pointed out that this has been a jobless recovery by design. The "job creators" have no interest or need to hire people and why should they? They are making money hand over fist paying miserable wages in return for squeezing all kinds of productivity out of people afraid they will lose their jobs. It's the return of the robber barons. Actually worse, they noted, because the gap between worker salaries and the bosses has never been greater nor has the attitude towards their workers ever been more patronizing.
And this is the mindset that Mr. Romney wants to bring to the WH.
Anyway, also well-worth watching.
No it aint, it's GW idiot Bush science. I have heard it's a definition of insanity to expect a different outcome from the same actions over and over and over. I don't really think it's insanity, it's just really stupid!!!!!

I doubt Romney possesses the depth of thought and character necessary to take the helm as the Commander in Chief.
Were he President, I believe he would sell the citizens down the river.
Romney's repeated "Government does not create jobs" showed a petulant CEO resorting to a talking point to regain lost ground.
Sounds like the result of an incredible investigation. Where can we read it?
I say this because not everyone agrees with what the government spends money on like welfare, bail outs, wars on terrorism and so on. Pretty much anyone can think of one thing they feel that the government is spending on unnecessarily.

And I think you have a valid point; however, I cannot agree with the statement "government does abuse and otherwise blow most of the money they get in taxes".
I've seen nothing to support this statement. Overall, Government does a pretty god job administering throughout the US.

FYI: a real "boss" would not have gone off to Vegas on a campaign tour, and ignored a terrorist attack by Al Quaida resulting in 4 Americans being brutally murdered. A real "boss" would have beefed up security to the max, or ordered everyone out of the consulate at the first warning of the U.S. Ambassador. A "real" boss would have taken the advice of his Security advisors and the State Department, rather than blowing the situation off. A "real boss" would not let a woman take it for the team in his place. A "real boss" owns up to his actions, and doesn't practice the blame game.

Be careful what/who you wish for!
Stevens left the embassy and traveled to Benghazi after the security team briefed him and left the country, and knowing the situation on the ground better than anyone else, including his bosses.
