Romney couldn't turn the economy around in Massachusetts when 46 other states were thriving. Even Post-Katrina Louisiana was able to spur more job growth than Massachusetts.
Romney is also losing Massachusetts badly. No wonder. His economic policies made Mass one of the weakest states on job creation.
Romney hasn't told America that he looked at polling in 2006 and saw that he was down 16 points to his opponent. Instead of even attempting to correct all of the damage he caused, he decided not to run and then threw Mass under the bus.
This Vietnam dodging, job-killing, non-Christian, flip flopping coward is the WRONG choice for America.
Nope....SourD is NOT wrong....Obama is not the leader many hoped he would be. If he gets another term, I truly fear for the United States of America....he is attempting to bring this fabulous country down to the levels of less-successful countries, and that benefits no one. Obama does not have America's best interests at heart.

That's a load of BS!!!! Obama has been obstructed every single inch of the way as a leader. The GOP are world class TRAITORS in this regard. They care far more about trying to bring the president down than they care about the good of their country. It's just so obvious even a blind person can see it. Policies the GOP was always in favour of are all of a sudden so wrong that they vote 100% against. I have less than zero respect for these idiots. They really should start using the slogan that all right wing Europeans used before WW2. "Class before country". That fits the GOP to a T.
The unemployment rate in Massachusetts when Romney was in office was extremely low (considered full employment).
No it wasn't.
Quote:
During Romney’s four years in office, the state added a net 31,000 jobs, a growth rate of about 1 percent, compared to 5 percent nationally during the same period. State unemployment fell to 4.7 percent from a peak of 6 percent but remained above the US average, then 4.4 percent.
With full employment already, it's not very surprising that job "growth" wouldn't be high.
Tell that to the tens of thousands of Irish Catholics in Worcester, Springfield and Lowell who couldn't find work when Romney was in office. And these same Catholics are refusing to vote for Romney again because he did such a sh*tty job as governor.

Under the leadership of Deval Patrick, correct.
