That's something that only happens on Main St.

Kind of makes you go "hmmmm..."
He's a private citizen just like you. How many jobs programs have you funded with your personal bank account? Not spending at Wal-mart. Jobs programs....the same kind you believe Mitt Romney should have have financed with his own personal money.

The claims in the OP are absurd....and all the liberal replies are just as ignorant. I swear I think you folks throw **** at the wall and hope it sticks without giving a single thought to what you're actually saying.

Why hasn't he created any new jobs since the crash? Am I to believe that the only way Mittens can create any jobs is from the Oval Office?

Businesses create jobs, we know that, why hasn't our Businessman in chief created jobs?
O.K., leftist tactic:

What, you expect him to wave a magic wand and "poof" everything is better? You have to give the man time, to fix what the last guy screwed up.

Obama’s 7 Regulations That Are Killing Jobs

"But President Obama — responding to a letter from House Speaker John Boehner — has personally identified what might be called the “Big Seven” because each of them would impose annual burdens over $1 billion. And collectively these seven surpass $100 billion a year...Obama defended the Seven in his letter to Boehner, claiming that his administration just finished an exhaustive review of unnecessary regulations and weeded out old ones that were costing us $2 billion a year (which Obama tried to magnify by saying it was “$10-billion over five years”). But his team has already issued 75 major new regulations last year and this year, which are an annual $40 billion drag on the economy. So he’s already made things 20 times worse than his “improvements” — and that’s even before the Maleficent Seven kick in."

Obama

And this sage advice:

"Until Congress fixes the entire regulatory system that enables a dictatorial executive branch, we’re at the mercy of more disasters in the form of job-killing regulations, especially from a president who doesn’t want to be bothered with Congressional opposition."

How ironic, you loonies expected Obama to wave his magic wand and fix bush's GREAT RECESSION.

Just wonder why the businessman in chief wasn't creating jobs when we needed them the most....

This argument is without merit, and the logical fallacy presented is ridiculous.

Romney has claimed he's created jobs in the private sector.

If I had Mr. Romney's personal income, you'd better believe I would do whatever I could to create jobs and/or help people attain the skills to get (better) jobs.
It's called "paying it forward" or if you prefer - putting your money where your mouth is.

Nope, we are just holding him to the promises he made. Huge difference.
