Sanjay Sanghoee: Why America Doesn't Need a CEO

Mitt Romney may not be the worst candidate but neither does he have the correct resume for the job of president. The United States of America is not a company and should not be run as one.

Warren J. Blumenfeld: The Doublespeak of "Freedom"

I am, quite frankly, concerned by Romney and other advocates of neoliberalist principles because they are based on individualistic, self-centered "freedoms," while opposing general responsibility for others and for a collective cooperative society.

Romney has the type of ideologues that insures he will have another dozen errors before the convention.

So Mitt and the President have never gotten together or crossed paths except once? I thought that they must have met more than that as Mrs . Mitt said she had gotten to know the First Lady. I'd like to know when that happened. Seems to me that Mrs. Mitt has as many faces as her husband.

You are assuming he will be invited. Are the losing candidates who don't hold a congressional seat (senator or house member) usually invited?

Mitt is going to be so diminished by President Obama in their first debate.
No Drama Obama is going to outshine, outcool, outcharm Romney, along with the fact that President Obama will be able to use all of Mitt's varied stances against him.
I cannot wait until debate number 1.

When he really tries, Mitts can give a good speech.

The problem with him is that he so seldom tries.

Debates are not speeches.
Mitt will have to react and interact.
Both are weaknesses for the man of steel.

Romney lives off his own money after years of hard work and investing and taking chances with his own money.Obama lives a luxurious lifestyle of fundraisers, jetting around, long extravagant vacations, golf constantly and he hands the taxpayers the bill.. Two different viewpoints and lifestyles. Romney and work versus Obama is entitled. No wonder they dont cross paths.

years of hard work?? the boy was brought up with a silver spoon in his mouth, he's never had to suffer through unemployment or lack of money because Daddy was there with his wallet always.

Reality check:

You don't go from the Illinois General Assembly to the Presidency in 12 years by vacationing and golfing.

But keep telling yourself that....

You'll get your head handed to you, electorally speaking of course.

But the Mitt Wits are in fast stalking Obama on his appearances. They show up at all of President Obama's appearances with their campaign buss full of workers and drive around and around and around....kind of like the entire Romney campaign, circling the toiled bowl before it is finally flushed down.

Swiss Mitts was born on third base; telling everyone he hit a home run.  While President Obama epitomizes the American dream.

Though to too many, Mitt epitomizes their American dream, being born into great wealth and priviledge.

this is not one of those people. I would never want the headaches that go along with having that much money. You can NEVER trust anyone because so many are out just for your money and you would NEVER know who like you for YOU and you likes you because of your Bank Account.

I live on a VA Disability Pension and have not been happier for a very long time. I live on less than many but I believe I have a much more fulfilled life than I have had previously. I can live on less and still enjoy life more.

a dream only very few have realized, that's why the republican party is the "Party Of The Few", a few zealots, bigots, extremists and terrorists. The Anti-American Dream Party.
