Mitt Romney is the PROBLEM with this country. A rich guy who became rich by gutting companies and getting rid of employees, then he sends the money OUT of the USA! What kind of American does that? If he is a JOB CREATOR, why doesn't he create jobs with all his money? Instead, he hoards it in off shore accounts.

Time to wake up from the American dream and deal with the American reality. What are they going to do about the deficit?

MITT ROMNEY: "WE BELIEVE AMERICAN GREATNESS. WE BELIEVE AMERICAN DREAMS"...
Americans are surely to believe this Flip-Flop Mormon how he made money with an offshore bank account to evade taxes, to keep American greatness by 1% sitting on the Top of Shinning Hill and the other 99% in the bottom of the hill holding the bags, to be wake up from the Dream of pushing 99% to become slaves in the future. All that Nightmares Mitt Romney will guarantee he will deliver.
American Voters, do you know how to baptize a DEAD, learn it first before you vote for him. Romney's business modal "Free Enterprise" is in the past. Do not work any more. Remember that Financial Meltdown. His Olympic experience is quite different than running a nationwide economy. No comparison. Romney is just exaggeration. Romney spent 16 millions to beat Newt who spent only one fourth of that. How many 16 millions (OR MORE) does he has ?

you would rather that we have a president that makes all employment issues focus on religious preference? You basically have that now, with Obama and his laser-like focus centered on which union cult you belong to when jobs are concerned...

OVERSTATEMENTS AND EXAGGERATIONS IN MITT ROMNEY'S SPEECH AT FLORIDA,
Constantly attacking President Obama with obstructionism for 3 long years Mitt Romney blamed Obama for high unemployment rate. He forgot the unemployment rate was 14% in 2008 and 2009. It is 8.5% today. It may be lower than 5% if the stimulus was not cut down in half by TP/GOP.
Mitt Romney promises a strong military. He does not know what he is talking about. American military budget is the total of the next 13 nations combined. U.S. is already only the super power today.
He wants to follow again that questionable "Free Enterprise" that was "Free" to run over the cliff and sent American as well as the whole western economies to a deep hole of financial crisis. But, that gave him chances to make money (Romney's money has a big question) particularly with a offshore bank account to pay less tax.
Mitt Romney did tax evasion before. He now mentions something constitutional. Phony.
Why must wait until becoming president Mitt Romney did not do anything to bring down unemployment in Utah, the base of Mormon located, but claiming his business experiences repeatedly without creating jobs to help out Mormon members there. "Business Experiences" by taking only.
Mitt Romney LIES.

There was No HOPE and now We need the CHANGE
A new report says the government's financial bailout program will see a $23 billion loss in the year that ended Sept. 30, compared with a $37 billion gain on taxpayers' investment the year before.

The Congressional Budget Office made the prediction in its report issued Tuesday on the federal budget. The expected loss is mainly due to the drop in the stock prices of General Motors and insurer American International Group, in which the government still holds big stakes.

AIG shares fell from around $40 to about $25 over the past year; GM shares fell from around $35 to
