I think President Obama is a better choice than Mitt Romney! Leadership is doing something that is right, even if unpopular. Mitt may have business experience and I applaud him for being good at that. But business and governance are two different things. How about not having a war that is not paid for? How about making everyone pay their fair share of taxes, how about fixing a broken Congress… I think the problem is many congressmen think like sole proprietors… They forget that the “shareholders” are the American people, not themselves!

in Government the rule the must apply is “The Common Good” that is the bottom line for government. That is what profit is in government. Your viewpoint is both partisan and uneducated. Perhaps you should just read. Rebecah has made very valid points. I am quite impressed with understanding og government. Oh and by the way if you don’t think I understand business I have an MBA from Carnegie Mellon #14 in the world. So think again cowboy

Why does this not suprise me me. This is total unexplicable proof Romney will be a pure diaster. How much more do you need? a scion that makes an additional $250 million plus another $10 million in his kids trust fund. Oh whoa is me. Obama numbers are looking the best they have the whole campaign season, yet still too early. I think a part has to do with the “Clinton Factor” NEVER underestimate Bill Clinton’s power with the people…it has no limits.

Whoa! The part about the failed oil companies is accurate. But he was a minor shareholder in the Rangers organization, a gift to dad by dad’s freinds. As for holding an MBA he was a “Heritage” baby in college, not a serious student.

Of course he had no idea how the average american lived. I recall how amazed he was at seeing scanners in acheckout line for the first time.

Ah yes. Jimmy Carter. A man who had no idea how to manipulate the media. A Nuclear engineer by training whose education taught him not to make a decision until you had every last scrap of information. The result was that by the time Jimmy had all the facts events had moved on without his particippation, often to the detriment of his prediliction for lecturing to the public like a baptist minister didn’t help either.

Yes, Hoover discovered that begging employers to hire someone isn’t a good way to improve the economy. And having Gens. MacArthur, Patton and Eisenhower attack american citisens with bayonets and burning thir property wasn’t a good idea either. But that was primarily because he trusted Macarthur. A mistake too many made.

In regard to bailout’s R. Reagan “lent”money to Chrysler (sound familiar?) and the government got repaid in full. Chrysler is now owned by foreigners. (Don’t raise that old Canard about the stockholders own the company) GM was the economic lifeline for thousands thoughout the heartland. It could not be allowed to fail. The “bailout”may have ben handled wrong(they didn’t have George Shultz to advise them) but it was necessary.

Business pay taxes? They must not be paying off the right people. Many business today get subsidies from the taxpayer, starting with BIG OIL> Why, because we have the best congress big money can buy.
