While an elected official is not a CEO, they should have some comprehension as to how they are created by the private sector.

More lies. Massachusetts ranked very low because they had almost complete employment.

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.
What? You wouldn't bury your money in offshore accounts?

I didnt at all mention government jobs..
Apparently Mittens did not use this "comprehension" to create jobs.

One of Romney’s Bain business partners has said that he “never thought of what I do for a living as job creation.” “The primary goal of private equity is to create wealth for your investors,” he added. And Bain has certainly done that, maximizing earnings “by firing workers, seeking government subsidies, and flipping companies quickly for large profits.” Due to a lucrative retirement deal, Romney is still making millions from Bain, as he goes across the country calling himself “middle class” and joking about being “unemployed.”
Uh...op...he created lots and lots of jobs while at Bain, which help start businesses like Sports Authority and Staples...where we ALL have shopped at some point.
I smell.....fear.
Very good, now back on topic, how many jobs did mittens create in the the last three years?
Let's compare to Obama's venture into venture capitalism, shall we?
Solyndra - 1100 employees laid off
Fisker - approx 75 employees laid off
Tesla - approx 130 employees laid off
The difference is that Romney knows how to turn businesses around. Obama only knows how to throw someone else's money at ideology-driven businesses. And, oh yeah, reward wealthy campaign donors in the process.
The difference is that Bain's companies are holding their own or improving. Gymboree has seen growth in recent years, in spite of the economy. Every one of the companies that Obama's backed are failing.
You do know that Romney hasn't been at Bain since 1999, don't you? He left to turn around the Olympics. Yup, another success. Where was Obama in 1999? He was failing - in his bid for congress.
You're counting jobs BAIN created years ago. Back on topic, what has mittens done in the last three years when America needed him most?
Did you vote for Barack Obama? If so, then can you tell us how a former state rep and first term senator qualified for the position of the most powerful executive in the world?
Note the use of the word executive and then please look up the definition.
Newsflash! An elected official is not a CEO. When Romney was an elected official (Governor of Massachusetts), his record for creating jobs was dismal. The same would be the case if he were elected president. Romney should stay in the private sector where he can create all those jobs!
Actually, it looks like it wasn't as bad as you think. In fact, some would say he did a rather impressive job, first at stopping the spectacular volume of job losses, then at creating new jobs. Check this out.

Good question. Mittens certainly paid a low tax rate. Now how many jobs did this "job creator," whom we could not increase the tax rate on because that would sabotage job creators, make?

If you think the private sector has an obligation to create jobs, then tell me how many YOU created?
