There is nothing bad in what Romney and Bain capital did. He made some informed decisions, kind of gambled based on those informed decisions. He got lucky in some and lost money in others. He calls that success, great. That's right. There is nothing bad what Bain did.............its just there is not that much good that they did either. Few benefited other than Bain investors and Romney. Do we want a president who only cares about his investors and himself? I don't. But it is a scoffing matter to claim that because he was successful in Bain, he will be successful as President. He didn't do these "leveraged buyouts" to create jobs. He did it solely for profits. Creating or closing down resulting in job loss was a enabler of his profits. He didn't create jobs, he created profits. To him profits were primary, job creation was secondary. As President that gets reversed. To a President job creation is primary and profits are secondary. That's right. He didn't create jobs and jobs is what we need. That means he is no more qualified than Obama. I have said several times in the past that Michael Jordan proves what we are saying. He thought that because he was successful in basketball, he thought that he would be successful in "another sport" called baseball. I rest my case. Great example. I have followed the exchanges that this post of yours gave rise to. Ii wonder how thick some of these folks are to not get this. They come back with the same right wing carp that people like you and me are jealous of Romney's success. That is a bunch of bull. You and I are successful too and we have no reason to feel jealous of someone else's success. In fact it gives us the moral courage to denounce being rich in a filthy way. I don't think I have ever felt jealous of another........re. anything including success.......I am sure you feel the same way. We have our talents...........and our flaws, and I am very happy with what I have and I suspect you are too. From my experience, whenever someone uses the jealousy card, its because they are unwilling to face the truth about themselves and/or their argument.
