Romney says "President Obama doesn't have a clue..."

[kentuck]

..on how to fix this economy.

Here's a bulletin! Neither does Romney.

All he has to offer are the failed supply-side policies of the last thirty years. Cut taxes and regulations. Unleash the magic of the market place. But don't raise taxes. We don't need revenues. We spend too much. We don't tax too little. We've heard it all a million times before. And we have 30 years of evidence that it doesn't work.

Anything that Mitt Romney and the current bunch of Republicans have to offer will not "fix the economy". It will only make it worse. Don't expect the MSM (main stream media) to pursue it when they spout this nonsense.

1. And some unemployed middle class schlub named Willard does?

Heh.

[Rambis]

2. Yeah, I trust the guy in the magic underwear who lives in his son's basement (nm)

3. If I were Mitt I wouldn't be talking about anyone else being clueless.

It is just going to remind people of his own cluelessness.

4. Good lord. With Romney and the Repukes controlling Congress

and the Executive branches, we'll be on our way to 25% U2 unemployment (read 50% U6 unemployment) by 2014.

[kentuck]

5. No problem.

They'll just blame it on Obama.

[coalition_unwilling]

6. And don't forget them job-stealing Mexicans. Sure we'll hear plenty

of that too.

[kentuck]

7. Oh, yeah!

Definitely.

13. Or Clinton.

Even Carter! And American Corporate Media will take their cues from Luntz and use all his market-tested buzzwords to convince the already weak-minded American electorate, that it's even possible!

8. To Multiple Choice Mitt, the economy = the top 2%

One needs look no further than his idea of how to 'improve' the companies that Bain Capital bought. Break 'em up and sell the parts to developing nations where people will put their kids to work at age 12 for $0.25 a day. Problem (profitability) solved.

10. He was on Morning Joe this morning...

and was asked about if he had cut more jobs than he had created. He did not answer the question directly. He said something about sitting on the boards where jobs were created or some such nonsense. Right then, I knew that he had not created any jobs. He is a job destroyer not a job creator.

[Ruby the Liberal]

12. No question he created jobs (Lots!) and no question he doesn't know how many

He brags that he "created jobs all over the world". I physically did a double take when I heard that gem of a remark during one of the debates this month.

The reason he doesn't know how many is that these jobs used to be American, but when they were moved to developing nations, they lost all track of things like "headcount", "taxes" and "benefits" - those pesky things that stand in the way of profitability.

9. the economy worked for him. What's the matter with the rest of you suckers?

Oh right! Didn't inherit $150 M before your business career even started, like Mitt.

11. Republican Logic:

Only a Supply-Sider, corporate raider, serial firer Wall Street Jackal worth 250 million dollars can fix an economy by-and-large ruined by Supply Side policies, coroporate raiding, serial firing and Wall Street jackals.

Yeeaaaaaaaahhhhh . . . . let me know how THAT works out for you, Repub voters.

14. +1

15. Mitt made his millions by shuttering companies and firing workers.

That is his record as "successful businessman'. It is not a good record, and it is not one most people are going to respond to in a favorable manner once they learn about it.
