Right! If all these stoopid libruhl peeple had been smart and voted for Romney, we'd all now live in a magical land of sunshine and rainbows where cotton candy unicorns pooped gold all over the lush lawns in our gated cmmunities!

On Jan. 14, Chrysler’s CEO acknowledged that Jeeps would be built in China, confirming a statement that unfairly earned Romney the moniker “liar of the year.”
Score one.
Actually, at the time Romney first said it, the news was out. But, you couldn't find it in the so-called "main stream" media. But the news was out. It had been reported. Of course, if you heard it on Fox, it was a lie!

Is building a new Starbucks in Canada taking jobs from Starbucks employees in Idaho? No, it is ADDING new Starbucks employees to serve the market in Canada. Just like ADDING Jeep manufacturers in China is ADDING new Jeep employees to serve the market in China.

How is Jeep ADDING production in China taking jobs from Americans? Most major car companies manufacture cars in the country they are marketed to.

They clearly hold the answers to all our nation's woes.
Well, Obama is certainly no "mental giant." I think it is plainly obvious that of the two, Romney vs. Obama, Romney is a genius in comparison to Obama. Let's be real ... Obama has no history of success at anything. He was largely a nobody when he ran for office, and had zero experience at anything that would qualify him.

No wonder he has created such a mess of our economy.

One thing your new*Nostradamus couldn't predict; the winner of the presidential election.

Except now they are keeping all their answers as trade secrets.

On April 17, 1998, Brookside Capital Partners Fund, a Bain Capital affiliate of which Romney was the sole shareholder, sole director, president, and chief executive, invested an estimated $14.2 million in Global-Tech, an appliance maker in Dongguan, China. Global-Tech made products for American companies like Sunbeam, Hamilton Beach, Mr. Coffee, and Proctor-Silex. In September 1998 Global-Tech’s CEO announced that the company was postponing a factory expansion because Sunbeam was slowing its rate of outsourcing, and said, “Although it appears that customers such as Sunbeam are not outsourcing their manufacturing as quickly as we had anticipated, we still believe that the long-term trend toward outsourcing will continue.”

Perhaps this was why Romney thought Jeep was going to move jobs to China, because that is what Romney did.

Well if you don't care about Romney, that indicates that you don't think all that much of him. So how does the country lose?

And if Romney is such a great soothsayer and prognosticater, why didn't he predict that he was gonna lose so badly, thereby not even wasting his time (and your hope) by running in the first place? I mean, since he's so great at predicting the future and all. He can predict what Chrysler is gonna do, but can't predict his own fortunes?
