    Yes. Obama had it written in American Jobs Act:

    Job opening for President of the United States. Must have 4 years of prior experience.

    Was that bill ever passed?

    Is that right . . . :D amigo, . . . Romney was CEO, President, sole director, and sole stockholder of Bain capital according to the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Translation=Bain Capital existed to make money for Mitt Romney.

    Yes, not what was best for the company itself. As I stated, companies got demolished, American workers lost their jobs, and Romney personally profited by many millions.

    You said he only bought failing companies? Which is it?

    That is a very ignorant remark, coming from you. The accomplishment is being Editor of the Harvard Law Review, generally considered to be the highest honor in the nation for law students. So, do you also agree with Romney then, that the attainment of college degrees is snobbery? That academia does nothing to prepare students for life? Why are you surprised that academia cannot embrace conservatism?

    Nice try. POTUS is hardly insignificant. Neither is US Senator. Romney has absolutely no experience that compares.

    Except when you want to blame it on him. What transparent smoke and mirrors!

    Only if you completely ignore Obama's record, which you have. No one is fooled.

    Pay better attention. The Presidency is the trump card. US Senator, Illinois Representative and constitutional law professor are all relevant experience at the state, national, and international levels.

    In your opinion you mean.

    A case for Mitt's history can be made by many, though it is clear that you do not agree.

    Are you being intenionally ignorant of how capital companies make money to make a point, or do you not know better? Bain made investments along with other companies and individuals and on behalf of other companies and individuals. Unrelated parties provided funds to Bain to buy failing companies, and Bain generated a return. Romney being the sole shareholder does not equate to Romney being the only person who invested in Bain's deals.

    That was a really terrible point, even for you.

    Sometimes what is best for the company is to demolish it. Downsizing, and outsourcing are effective ways in saving companies, or in generating a return for investors. I don't get the fake outrage here.



    You are right. No one is fooled. We agree because the evidence supports his position, but you should still stick to speaking for yourself.

    You state the obvious with much pomposity.

    Well, you missed the point, Einstein. His accomplices are not running for President. Fact=Romney received 100% of Bain Capital profits. Romney WAS Bain Capital. The companies lost, the workers lost. Romney won.

    It's not fake. watch in November and learn something. Laid-off people looking for work are rightly outraged at the downsizing and corporate outsourcing of American jobs by financiers like Bain.

    I was having a discussion with Winston. Who gives a fuck about your spin?

    I do not criticize any success in turning around American companies. I criticize the foreign outsourcing and job losses that accompanied many of his efforts to increase his bottom line.

    Bain had investors who also profited and Bain had expenses including employee salaries, but Bain Capital profits went to Mitt Romney, the sole stockholder. This is a undeniable fact, not a half truth.
