Oh, easy narrative here for the GOP:

"Mitt hasn't been creating jobs because Obama won't allow it."

You know the talk radio crowd would eat that one up.

In fact, if we used the same methods to determine unemployment that was used in the 1980s the unemployment rate would be closer to 15%

Barak Obama said it was unpatriotic to raise the debt ceiling back when it was around 10 trillion. As president he has (by his own words) been utterly unpatriotic on the subject. He DEMANDED the debt ceiling be raised and our debt is now around 15 TRILLION. Mr Obama is personally responsible for nearly ONE THIRD of Americas debt. He has been President of the United States approximately 1% of our history.

OBAMA = JOB FAIL
OBAMA = FAILED PRESIDENCY
Your entire post is nothing but a deflection from the topic; "Where are the jobs Mittens created?

What does it feel like to get hoodwinked by AOL - a megacorporation - on a regular basis?
It is the Romney supporters who are hoodwinked. Especially by Romney's job creating rhetoric!

Quote:
A core argument of Romney’s presidential campaign is that he knows how to create jobs based on his career in finance. As governor, Romney faced his first test in applying his business background to a slow-growing economy — and data show that the results were unremarkable.
Quote:
Massachusetts was one of just four states that by the time of the financial crisis still had not recovered all the jobs they had lost during the 2001 recession. And, as Romney’s opponents have pointed out, the state ranked 47th in job creation during his term.

Seems like he could have done any number of things that would have proven that he is serious about getting people back on their feet.

Kind of makes you go "hmmmm..."
No it doesn't. Why should his personal money go into creating jobs for people? Do you fund any job programs with your personal bank account? I didn't think so.

You guys whine and moan about Mitt Romney, but at the end of the day you're no better than he is if you're not holding yourself to the same standard that you hold him to as a private citizen.

When will these RWNJs realize a government is NOT a business and the skill set needed to be a corporate vulture is not the same as the skills needed to administer a government? Never, I suppose.

Massachusetts was NOT at full employment.

In fact, there was an exodus under Romney according to economists and the Census Bureau.

Romney did increase taxes on Business 20%....
