Obama is an investment America wishes it hadn't made.

Bet Obama wears Solyndra emblazoned T-shirts on the weekend as he putters around with his old 57 chevy.

We have always known that a person can steal far more with a pen than with a gun. Having your job, let alone your pension, disappear because of the actions of some corporate raider is just as much if not more of a loss as having your wallet stolen at gunpoint. The former may be legal but the loss is just as damaging to the victim.

In a just world Romney and the rest at his companies would have been jailed for fraud and grand theft.

The sale of these investments was confirmed in Romney's 2011 tax returns, which the candidate released to the public on September 21. Also enclosed in his 2011 tax return were the addresses of his Cayman Islands interests and the performance of his Goldman Sachs funds.

So Romney unloaded the stocks revealed in this very interesting slideshow just prior to the debates, which tells us that he knew there existence would be toxic to his campaign. Why would they be a problem Mitt? And since they would be a detriment to you, why do you think you lack of integrity qualifies you to run for the position of neighborhood dog catcher, let alone POTUS?
I have asked for YOUR business credentials before, because you seem to think you know so much about how to run a business.

How is your portfolio going? Please share where you have all your money.

I won't hold my breath. you whine just for the sake of whining.

P.S. Have you ever heard of a Blind Trust?

Forget about his investments, and look at the sorry state of affairs in the country after four years of Obama policies.

We need not imagine how bad a Barack Obama presidency might be, as you try and do with Romney, all we need to do is look around us, at Obama's broken promises and failed policies, and unfulfilled predictions that are laying, scattered on the ground at our feet.

Yup, Obama used his pen to steal more then $7 trillion form us, counting the fed printing QE1,2,3 and his own deficit spending.
