If you think Romney is that smart then why did he suggest a solution for the auto industry that would have resulted in winners and losers, the type you say he did at Bain. Why could he not suggest a win win suggestion for all, except the CEO's and their private jets like Obama did. I prefer the road Obama took for success than Romney's. got nothing to do with jealousy. Instead it has got to do with making money in a smart way that is morally correct. Smugglers get rich also. Would you advocate and admire the way they get rich? Buddhas Saram Ganchami.

Romney took companies that were going broke, and saved as many jobs as possible. That's just it. Many of them weren't going broke; they just weren't profitable enough. And so people lost their jobs. The premise behind Bain's operation was self centered, destructive and very committed to maximizing profit at the expense of everything and everyone else. There is an alternative to the Bain approach...........a harder one.....where you trim the operation and improve production thru creativity so that it becomes leaner and stronger which, in turn, leads to greater profits. That was too HARD for Mr. Romney...........and it took too long. We know who Romney is.......he is not the friend of the American worker.

By your logic a person who sells a lot of real estate is qualified to be president and more so than a person who sells less. But the fact of the matter is, that being president requires a whole different set of qualifications than being in business does. It requires a knowledge of social science. You live on social security. That was a liberal dem idea dude, the Republican's fought against tooth and nail. I would like to see you thank the liberals and dems for the fact you have it! <<Romney took companies that were going broke, and saved as many jobs as possible. If a doughnut company had a money losing division that made ball bearings, he would sell off the ball bearing division to save the doughnut company. Some jobs were lost/sent to the buyer, but other jobs were saved. Not everyone lost their job.
