Didn't Bush Jr. have the private sector experience too. Oil industry exec, manager of a for profit baseball team etc. Besides, he didn't create jobs. He just did what we call "fixer upper" of companies. The jobs were created by the managements who bought them. Ask the Bain capital folks about this. And more people from Bain have contributed to the Dems than they have done to the Republicans. And during one of my trip overseas, I mat a current employee from Bain (from the T-shirt on that person.) She said she was aware of Mitt Romney's claim and that she and her colleagues did not agree with that claim. I posted that on this thread sometime in the July time frame of last year. So the question is why would Obama fear a Obama lite. Besides, did you notice how CNN caught Romney's lie with regards to the radio ad. He first said he had no knowledge of it even though the ad said "I am Mitt Romney and I approve this message." That was a very serious blow to Romney who has lied all along. A slick talker with no substance. It is Gingrich's intelligence that Obama should find a match in.

I agree. I watched the debate last night too. Romney is a serious executive on a very large scale. That experience is hard to beat. I know he goes back and forth on issues, which is what politicians do, and that irritates me, but I like his practical business experience. Obama is showing his lack of knowledge on how economies work. All this bailout, ZIRP, and lack of prosecution shit is killing the goose. Romney may have done better. Anyway, he's looking better to me. Gingrich continues to look like a clown to me. He's too erratic and self-important. Santorum scares me. He's a 100% certified zealot, plus he claimed last night that Global Warming is a hoax, which tells me he's also an anti-science idiot. At least Gingrich and Romney believe in energy independence. Romney would be a better steward of our planet. Plus, I like that Romney was a Democrat earlier in his life. That shows that he's flexible and more of a moderate, even though he has to come across as a staunch conservative to win the GOP nomination. Still my favorite is Ron Paul. He says all the right things on the economy. I wish he was electable, but I'll settle for him becoming Fed Chairman with Romney as President. That looks like a better combination than Obama, who will continue to destroy the foundation of our economy through QE, ZIRP, non-prosecution, bailouts, and arrogation of more dictatorial powers like NDAA.
