What did I say in my opening post?

Granted, I know that Romney was Mass. Governor, however, he talks a lot more about his private business experience, than he does, about his public office experience on the campaign trail.

LOL....you failed to mention his being the Governor in the post I QUOTED.

How many campaign speeches have you seen him deliver? ZERO. Nuff said.

Romney's done both.
Obama did neither before getting elected.

Since we are talking about ancient history how many millions died under Roosevelt? Truman? Wilson?

I'd trust a corporate CEO over a pure politician, like the one in the WH now any day of the week....

It puts Romney in a FAR better position than obama, and there is a reason that you hire smart people to be around you (your staff) for things you are unsure of.

To the OP, obama has run a fortune 500 company?

Even though they make me cringe, I've seen a few minutes of stump speeches and interviews, he talks a LOT more about his private sector experience than he does, about his MA experience.
Why? He doesn't want to come across as an elitist from MA, to Joe Bubba Redneck from Red State America low informed voter.
Funny, how that's how the GOP, described some guy in 2004, who's from the same hometown and is almost as wealthy.

So a few minutes of a few stump speeches means you've heard everything he's got to say.

I dont know what the difference is anyhow.....everyone KNOWS he was a GOVERNOR and a SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS CEO....both of those make him VASTLY more qualified to be President especially while this nation is burning to the ground under this NOVICE 1 term Senator.

When a corporation is formed by investors to sell a product or service, they expect a return on their investment, aka a profit.
When a government is formed, their sole pupose is to provide services but to do it, they take money from property owners, a tax on sales and a who lot of other taxes and fees. Government produces nothing.
There is nothing in common with a corporation or government.

Sounds like the perfect job for a lawyer.

Yep.

Lawyers make the absolute worst presidents. They are trained liars.

Being a community organizer and running a government have even less in common. Oh, Romney ran a state, what did O ever run before being Potus, where he's been a deceitful failure

yes;if a corporation was run like the government it would be bankrupt and executives in jail long ago for fraud on investors.
