- The Romney stated college financial plan: Ask your parents to pay for it.
The Romney stated 'how to get a job' plan: Ask your parents to hire you.
The Romney stated 'how to start a business' plan: Ask your parents for the money. NOTE: Romney took federal funds and his family monies to start and maintain his businesses.
Romney the champion of the wealthy. All he want's is the 99% to pay all the taxes for the rich. Under his administration the rich pay very low taxes, the poor pay very low taxes (mostly sales tax and property taxes from their rent checks) and numerous fees . . . while the middle class is stuck with the bulk of the taxes. The rich do not pay their fair share since Bush 43 started 2 unfunded wars (lowered taxes instead of raising taxes for HIS global wars on terror), an unfunded prescription plan, and deregulation of the banks, financial institutions, and mortgage industry that DESTROYED our economy. Obama is striving to take corrective action against the tea party/republicans who are the party of NO. 'Debt ceiling lunacy' ring a bell to you conservatives? Self destruction of our credit rating just to hamper the recover. Bah Humbug on you all. It's time for good Republicans to support our Nation and end the 'they are the enemy' attacks on Democrats. - Reply to this comment
- Well, being I am from Chicago and seeing first hand how Obama, Axerod and Valarie Jarret ruin Chicago...I laugh at people like purplestates who have know clue about this corrupt force. In Chicago because of all the spending for their social justice agenda, has cost us a arm and leg. Chicago is totally broke and getting worst. We have some of the highest gas prices, taxes, boarded up houses, and black on black crime. Is this what you want for your country. These morons will gut your pay check if you still have a job. Believe me Chicago politicians are corrupt to the bone, they will lie through their teeth just to stay in office. They don't care about you and me. It's all about the power...Chicago Power!

* N.Y. attorney general opens probe into private equity firms, including Bain
...Though Romney collects benefits as a Bain retired partner, the inquiry isn't focused on the time he ran Bain.
...The New York Times first reported the investigation of more than a DOZEN firms. The report indicates that some observers think it is a political motivated investigation by a Democratic attorney general with relations with President Obama - Reply to this comment
- What's realy scary ids that you people that will vote AGAIN for this clown. He has doen nothing, zero.. To help this country. You forget that even thae bailout will need to be paid eventually. The National deficit is so high we may never get back. The unemployment rate has been about 8% for a couple of years after this idiot promised it would never get above 6. But you are too ignorant or too stupid to see it. He will make promise once again that he can't keep and you will vote for him AGAIN. Who will you blame ine another 4 years when he has faid AGAIN? just take a look in the mirror.

- How are the two polling in this age group?
Because the appeal that Barack had in 2008 with his platform of hope and change is no longer there.
He may have an edge with his student loans platform, but Romney's got that image of being somebody who can turn around businesses, so maybe that might appeal to swing voter students more? - Reply to this comment
- **We're Better Than 4 years ago when W. Bush left office**
1. When W. Bush left office, our GDP was at minus 9 and today is positive 2.
2. When Bush left office, Down Jones was at 7,949.09 point, minus 24%, and today is at 13,000 points, up 61% since Mr. Obama took office. Similarly, when Bush left office, my 401K was half value, and today is double.
3. When Bush left office, we had over 12 months jobs lost consecutively, 800K jobs lost per month, spiral to a depression. Mr. Obama stops the bleed, and he has produced 29 month jobs growth consecutively.
4. When Bush left office, corporation profits was down at 1 trillion dollars level, and today is up 1.7 Trillion dollars, which is 58 % increased.
5. When Bush left office, Export was down at minus 30%, and today is positive 7 percent. Both export and import are growing again.
6. When Bush left office, we have higher trade deficit, and today is a lot less.
7. When Bush left office, household income was down, and today much higher. In fact, it's much higher than real GDP.
8. Manufactures employment has gone up since Bush left office.
9. When Bush left office, we had a depression in auto industry, and today GM is saved and the industry is profit again, thanks to Mr. Obama and his courage.
10. If GOP congress approves American job Act that produce 1-2 million jobs, instead of sitting on it since last summer, unemployment rate would down by 1% point or 7.2% overall according to WSJ.
11 During the 28 years of Democratic presidents, 57.5 million new jobs were created, an average of 2.05 million per year vs. During the 36 years of Republican presidents, 36.2 million new jobs were created, an average of 1.0 million per year.
12. We've already had three CEO presidents: Herbert Hoover, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney. How'd that work out for us? Why would we want a Wall Street Raider who create this financial collapsed in 2008?

- How ironic that 50% of college students will graduate without a job and no means of paying down their student loans - yet they applaud the very ideology that is causing their lack of opportunity. The foolishness of youth...it is just like the Pied Piper leading the children to their doom.

- Mitt Romney is not what this country needs. When Mitt Romney ran for Governor of Massachusetts he promised more jobs, decrease debt, and smaller government. Here's what we got instead:
1) Jobs: 47th out of 50 states in job creation
2) Taxes and fees: Increased more than $750 million per year
3) Long-term debt: Increased more than $2.6 billion
4) Job creation fell from 37th to 47th during Romney's term compared to the previous term:
1998-2002 = 37th
2002-2006 = 47th
A drop of 10 places in four years. What were 48, 49, and 50, you ask? Ohio, Michigan, and Louisiana (after Katrina!).
5) During his 4-year term, Romney only increased the number of jobs by 1% compared to 5% for the rest of the nation.
6) Between 2002-2006, the number of people working in Mass declined by 8,500 people, the only state in America to actually lose jobs. The rest of the country added 8 million jobs. Romney lost 14% of the manufacturing jobs in the state, including 40,000 high paying manufacturing jobs.
7) When Romney left office, his job approval rating was hovering somewhere around 34%.
Romney is the LAST thing America needs!
..............
How did Romney go from 37th to 47th in job creation in M.A among 50 states? Was he affected by the financial crisis and global slow down like Mr. Obama the last 4 years? Did the Democrat refuse to work with Romney like GOP 80 filibuster in congress in last 4 years? NO.
Mr. Obama economic record is not perfect, despite GOP obstruction, and he's getting a B- but Romney got an F for economic record in M.A, and his business experience fail him badly.

- College age voters want a future and there is none with the GOP, unless your rich Republican father gets you a job with another rich Republican friend's company.
That is the connection with Yale, USC and the Mormon church, they take care of their own and the heck with everyone else. - Reply to this comment
