No matter what you Libs say about Romney, he will be a lot better then Obama who is such a disaster to this country. Obama's lack of experience is so obvious he is way over his head. I'd take a businessman running the country over a community organizer any day.
Obama's job adviser, Jeff Immelt (of GE) is a major outsourcer....he even outsourced after being named to the position by Obama. Seriously, how can Obama have his top Jobs Adviser be the guy who officially made GE have more employees over seas than in the US?
"And it probably wouldn't be good for our economy for a bunch of these jobs to come back because, frankly, there's no way that people could be getting paid a living wage on some of these jobs, at least in order to be competitive in an international setting." -President Obama
How can Obama have his top jobs adviser as the biggest outsourcer and say that it would be bad to get those jobs back and then criticize Romney?

So you're OK with a president sending in drones to kill people that have NOT been found to have committed any crime?
My opinion is Obama is ALREADY an unmitigated disaster.
Bain Capital (Romney's company) invested in companies that facilitated outsourcing jobs to cheaper labor markets overseas. Romney says, " I know why jobs come and why they go."
Yes, the Washington Post added that piece of information, that Bain invested in companies that specialized in helping other companies get rid of employees, either in the United States or overall, by outsourcing work to outside suppliers and offshoring work to other countries.
But this issue leads to questioning two assumptions by the Romney camp:
A) That Romney's record as a successful businessman means that he knows how to create jobs and be a good president.
B) That the type of businessman that Romney was supports assumption "A."
Now, the case for electing a businessman as president is very weak. A competitive success in business bears no particular relationship to the tasks of a president, which is forming fiscal and social policies that helps citizens and establishing foreign policy. So even if Romney were a true captain of industry, which he wasn't, this wouldn’t be a strong qualification. Otherwise, Warren G. Harding, Herbert Hoover, Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush would have been great presidents.
Which leads use to assumption "B." Romney wasn’t a captain of industry. He didn’t build businesses, he bought and sold them – sometimes restructuring them in ways that added jobs, often in ways that preserved profits but destroyed jobs, and fairly often in ways that extracted money for Bain but killed the business in the process.
Then getting to the new revelation, domestic outsourcing, which the Romney camp paints as just moving one job here to another job there as a zero job loss. It is not that innocuous. On the contrary, it’s often a way to replace well-paid employees who receive decent health and retirement benefits with low-wage, low-benefit employees at subcontracting firms. That is, it’s still about redistribution from middle-class Americans to a small minority at the top. And that's Romney's business record.

Surely you remember the "Shock and Awe" delivered to Iraq for reasons yet unknown. They weren`t found guilty of anything.
