He made a lot of money as a corporate raider. Is that the business model you would support for this country right now? His business "acumen" is in corporate raiding. Borrow money, buy a company which is "sick," take over that company, drain it of all the money it has left, then leave. Clearly, most people think our government is "sick" now......so you think the best person to run it is a corporate raider?
Well if Romney gets to do this for the country, parts of it will probably be sold to other countries and parts of the country will simply get to break off and become their own country, so I guess Cascadia might happen sooner than later if Romney gets elected.
Liberals, again, you made my case for me. Obamas big "success" is getting elected to POTUS. Rubio was right. Its says it all when the day he got elected, is when people were happiest with him.
Obama is a failed, bad leader of a President.
Bucs, you've totally ignored the kind of business experience Romney has and why you think that would be a good business model for our country if Romney were elected.
Corporate raider is not a traditional good business model....unless your only motive and concern is enriching yourself and destroying the means by which other people can earn a living.....if your measure of "success" is the amount of money obtained, regardless of the way it was obtained, then I guess you could describe a corporate raider as "successful"...
What successes is Romney talking about? He doesn't like to talk about Bain, he doesn't like to talk about being a governor, he doesn't like to talk about college, he doesn't like talking about past bids for office, he just wants us to trust him he was successful and everything he did had a great outcome, but doesn't want us to look too much under the surface of his comments....I wonder why, I wonder what Romney is hiding in his past.
He's relying upon people thinking the fact that he is wealthy equals "success" without looking into how he made that money. And, unfortunately, there seem to be a lot of people touting his "success as a businessman" simply because he's very wealthy and not looking at how he made the money.......this seems like sort of an Ayn Rand world view.....a me and mine, and to hell with you all.
Ahhh the YouTube. Obviously you can't defend Romney's corporate raider business model, so you throw out the absurd. Or maybe, giving you the benefit of the doubt, you haven't read through the thread and are just responding to the OP.
So, do you consider Romney a successful businessman because he made lots of money borrowing money, buying sick businesses, draining them of their money, then moving on? Is that the kind of business model you think would be most effective in dealing with the problems in our government/country? It used to be called corporate raiding.
Romney runs circles around that fraud in terms of success.
Which is? Romney doesn't want anyone to actually look at what that "success" is, he just wants us to take his word that he has been successful. I don't doubt he is a rich man, that is obvious. What I wonder is how he got rich and was it on the backs of the middle class...those are the people I don't want to have in office.
