We tried a president without a brain (GWB), and you know how THAT went. What do you think having a president without a SOUL will be like?
Yep. Heartless....
PolitiFact | Viral Internet story says Mitt Romney helped locate missing teen daughter of Bain Capital partner

"In July 1996, the 14-year-old daughter of Robert Gay, a partner at Bain Capital, had disappeared," the story reads. "She had attended a rave party in New York City and gotten high on ecstasy. Three days later, her distraught father had no idea where she was. Romney took immediate action. He closed down the entire firm and asked all 30 partners and employees to fly to New York to help find Gay’s daughter. Romney set up a command center at the LaGuardia Marriott and hired a private detective firm to assist with the search. He established a toll-free number for tips, coordinating the effort with the NYPD, and went through his Rolodex and called everyone Bain did business with in New York and asked them to help find his friend’s missing daughter. Romney’s accountants at Price Waterhouse Cooper put up posters on street poles, while cashiers at a pharmacy owned by Bain put fliers in the bag of every shopper. Romney and the other Bain employees scoured every part of New York and talked with everyone they could – prostitutes, drug addicts – anyone.

"That day, their hunt made the evening news, which featured photos of the girl and the Bain employees searching for her. As a result, a teenage boy phoned in, asked if there was a reward, and then hung up abruptly. The NYPD traced the call to a home in New Jersey, where they found the girl in the basement, shivering and experiencing withdrawal symptoms from a massive ecstasy dose. Doctors later said the girl might not have survived another day. Romney’s former partner credits Mitt Romney with saving his daughter’s life, saying, ‘It was the most amazing thing, and I’ll never forget this to the day I die.’

David Axelrod -- not Wall St.
Louis Caldera -- Lawyer and academic. The closest to WS was that he sat on a bank board
Neal Wolin -- worked for Treasury, not WS
Jeffrey Immelt, CEO GE (not WS)

In any case, those aren't cabinet positions, as you claimed and also not "most" of the cabinet or even most of the high ranking appointees.

obama's in huge trouble with all but the most far left and braindead. He tops out at 45% in November and probably closer to 42%. You can go back to bashing Romney now, your next President.

There are about 100 electoral votes between the secure votes for both Romney and Obama. Swing states will make the election final.



Colorado, Iowa, Ohio, Virginia, North Carolina and Florida will vote for Romney. That's 78 electoral votes.

And that's enough to put the welfare President out of office.

How can you possibly state that as a fact 5 months before the election? What you are projecting is your wishful thinking for your side.

Lawrence Summers, gets a paycheck from hedge funds
Louis Caldera, sat on several boards, one of them needed taken over by the federal government.. But when did bank boards, not count as walls treet?
Neal Wolin, actually worked for Hartford Insurance company, wall street
And GEO, isnt wall street? Where the hell do you live where thats true?

I guess these people dont count!!

I can state that because Obama lives in a fish bowl where the only ideas to improve the economy are Keynesian. Obama is doomed because of this.

Do you think that people are going to be satisfied with our economic picture 5 months from now?

If anything, Obama will just make it worse. That will solidify the swing states even further to vote for Romney.
