A job pays money. Obama got paid to do the work. Pffffttt. He has had jobs. Try harder.

Romney took 10 million in reparations from the US in a bankrupucty. He built that. (with our tax dollars.)
Nothing Romney did was illegal or unethical.

Obama, on the other hand, "organized" his community to vote for him for the Illinois state Senate, and has spent his life since living off the public teat. He did that (with our tax dollars.).

Now what was your point again -- aside from pretending that we should be suspicious of Romney, but not pay any attention to Obama's "career" and all the things behind his magical curtain?

You sound like the Wizard of Oz or something.

Why would you ask? It's obviously the truth. Romney is the definition of Satan's invisible hand on the market.

Invisible hand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Its all about the idea that the rich accidentally help us as their loose change trickles out of the holes in their pockets and down their legs. Almost as if the rich didn't know how to hoard their wealth.

The idea is somewhat similar to the way that Satan accidentally helps God capture a few souls that trickle between the fingers of his infernal grasp.

I hope you understand the meaning of satire and hyperbolism.

I think you are confusing Obama for Romney and vise-versa. Romney lied to the Massachusetts community and is now lying to all of America. We all know Obama's "career." It's right here
and here is the one for Willard Milton Romney
He plans to make alcohol illegal... unless he flip-flopped on that issue too from his "hard working missions days" in France. He took a "payed retroactive leave of absence" in Bain Capital for 3 years! Now he gets millions from doing NOTHING in the company! that is true corruption. He keeps most of this lazy money in "blind trusts"
Quote:
A blind trust is a trust in which the fiduciaries, namely the trustees or those who have been given power of attorney, have full discretion over the assets, and the trust beneficiaries have no knowledge of the holdings of the trust and no right to intervene in their handling. Blind trusts are generally used when a settlor (sometimes called a trustor or donor) wishes to keep the beneficiary unaware of the specific assets in the trust, such as to avoid conflict of interest between the beneficiary and the investments. Politicians or others in sensitive positions often place their personal assets (including investment income) into blind trusts, to avoid public scrutiny and accusations of conflicts of interest when they direct government funds to the private sector.

I think all politicians flip-flop for political expediency to some degree, but Mitt Romney does it out of weakness. He can't stand up to his own party on any issue. How some of you guys want to give power to someone like that, I dunno.
