ROMNEY: HE'S WORSE THAN EVEN I EXPECTED

Let's recall that Romney's campaign platform was substantively identical to the policies of George W. Bush. Given that Bush was arguably the worst president in American history, while Obama has taken an economy in free-fall and two bloody quagmires abroad and returned America to a state of relative normalcy, I'll definitely take what we got over the alternative of Romney.
How unusual....a loser who wants to complain about the winner as if he'd have done better....
If he had been president Bin Laden would still be alive (Romney said that he wouldn't devote much effort to go after him)
If President Romney were in charge both GM and Chrysler would have gone under...adding over 1 million to the unemployment rolls. He said that he would not provide government help. He preferred chapter 7.
President Romney would not have helped people keep their homes when they were foreclosed....he said that it would be better to encourage investors to buy up the inventory of foreclosures and rent them out again....to the people who used to own them.
We'd have kept thousands of troops in Iraq and would have had casualties every week for the last 5 years.
He would not have sent more troops to Afghanistan and the Taliban would be in control of more than half the country.
The people of Libya would still have rebelled against Gadaffi.
The people of Egypt would still have rebelled against Mubarak.
The people of Syria would still have rebelled against Assad.

Only people like you and the libs here say Bush was the worst president.
Also...you really think America is back to even RELATIVE normalcy? Lol! I've never seen America so screwed up in my life!
Were you paying attention when the recession began? Were you thinking it was better when we were losing over 700,000 jobs per month and the GDP dropped 9% in one year?
A poll taken among historians put Bush near the bottom.

Nothing like a doubling of stock markets to make a GOP cult leader crazy.
OK, OK...the markets didn't triple. Maybe that's what Willard meant.

Yes, I did. So? You are wrong and very obviously didn't spend a moment thinking about what I wrote.
Romney said he wouldn't spend a lot of time or money going after one guy. So unless you are thinking Bin Laden would have turned himself in....He'd still be alive.
Romney was wrong about GM and Chrysler and it seems you don't know much about bankruptcy. Chapter 7 does not allow you time to restructure. It would mean GM would have sold it's assets, paid off as many of the creditors as it could and would be gone. You can't reorganize unless someone is willing to lend money to do it....the only creditor willing to do that was the federal government. The fact is that GM is still here because of Obama and Romney would have added 1 million unemployed to the rolls.
Obama would not negotiate on Iraqi court jurisdiction over US troops in Iraq. If Romney would have would you still be thinking that would be a good thing?
No, the Taliban is not in control of half the country....as they were in 2007. Why do you think Bush surged troops into Afghanistan in 2008?

If you pick pretty much any measurable indicator of national well-being, things got dramatically worse on Bush's watch: higher unemployment, lower real incomes, higher poverty, lower stock prices, higher deficits, and so on. It was already a lousy run even before we fell over the precipice into the worst financial catastrophe since the Great Depression. Throw in the unquantifiables, like the three-trillion-dollar screw-up in Iraq, the drowning of New Orleans, the biggest security failure in American history, eight years of failing to get Bin Laden, the torture scandals, and collapsing US approval ratings abroad, and Bush put together a resume that few presidents could hope to match. Relative to that, yes, we've obviously returned to a state of normalcy. Credit markets are unfrozen, unemployment's declining, deficits are down, stocks are up, we're no longer hemorrhaging in Iraq, Bin Laden's dead, our approval ratings have somewhat recovered abroad, murder rates and incarceration rates are both dropping, and so on. It hasn't been a stellar era, so far. I doubt Obama will get listed alongside greats like FDR... or even as high as Clinton. But he inherited an unmitigated catastrophe and seems poised to leave a country that looks pretty much like "business as usual," and that's an accomplishment, before you even consider landmark successes like healthcare reform.

These GOP cultists are so absurd.
Obama cleaned up all the wreckage GWB left behind, across-the-board, and they have the gall to bitch and moan about Obama.
They're a pack o' brainwashed ingrates.

Romney is a piece of shit...He needs to keep his mouth shut and go back to the gated mansion he lives in
Romney was correct.........'O' foreign policy is a failure:
