    He grew up in one of the country's most affluent neighborhoods. You were so wrong about his growing up poor. So very wrong.

    Need proof... how rich did he get? How many people does he have working for him? At what age did he retire?

    Whom of us are still working because we AREN'T that rich... or because we don't have underlings to do everything for us.

    Hey... I can say that, because its true.

    I'm also not claiming to be smarter than Romney unlike so many Democrats who haven't even come close to the success level I have much less what Romney has achieved.

    People don't spend their life working service industry jobs because they like it... they do it because they aren't smart enough to do better.

    If I was as smart as Mitt and had as much business sense I'd be retired right now myself, or rolling in the money while I have others doing all the work for me... but I'm not, and I'm not even close to it. Though I do make good money I don't really have to work all that hard to make, sweat or get dirty... In some parts of the world I'd be considered rich... and in fact I make a damn good wage compared to Europeans doing anything remotely similar... Because I'm one of less that 100 people in the country with the background and skill-set that I have, and one of even fewer that are actually doing it.

    Unfortunately it doesn't translate to financial independence or being able to tell my employer to go get stuffed.

    But it does allow me to have several Mercedes Benz (as in more than two) in my driveway.

    smoothy have you noticed you are raving?

    No one expects you to match Romney, in fact with his reputation for creating unemployment who would want to. Remember his fortune was won at the expense of others.

    Now I am not rich by the standards of some, in fact my tax rate is lower than Romneys, nor do I have hot and cold running flunkeys, which you seem to consider desirable, but money is only good to buy what you need; beyond that...

    I can tell you the companies he helped get off the ground or saved and the number of employees they have . At best you guys come up with a couple that went belly up ;and would've gone belly up with or without Romney .

    Hello again,

    His job WASN'T to save jobs.. It was to make a profit. THAT he did. Sure he CREATED some jobs, and he DESTROYED some jobs. That's what businessmen do. Get over it.

    NONE of that qualifies or disqualifies him to be president...

    The ONE thing that DOES qualify him to be president is his SIGNATURE law that he got passed in Ma. Oh, that's right... He CAN'T mention that...

    Santorum was right... In terms of the hated Obamacare, he's absolutely the WRONG guy to run against it... I don't know WHY you guys love to shoot yourselves in the foot, but the prize was bigger this time... Two and maybe THREE Supreme Court Justices... That's going to shape the ENTIRE 21st Century...

    Agreed... The Repubics have a habit of playing their B team. But the shine has come off Obama's halo too. This is resembling the Kerry -McCain contest... the consolation round . Obama is polling like Kerry did in 2004, and Romney is polling like McCain did in 2008. This election is like the NFL counting on fans watching games officiated by Lingerie League rejects . We the people get to vote against the other side's loser.

    It is what it is Tom, you guys have your guy, we have ours. You can't cry because your guy ain't who YOU want!

    No telling where the poll would be if Newt, Rick, or Herman had gotten the nomination. Or if Mitt was running a BETTER campaign. Did I leave out Michele??

    Tal you know these guys are who they are. They aren't world beaters just politicians. This is why they don't have solutions for the economy, it was their sort of thinking that caused the problem. What amazes me is the Christain right is so close to these people, after all the system they espouse is the opposite of Christian principles

    Obama has been dodging the question about the attack on Ambassador Stevens by saying he is waiting for the FBI's investigation.

    Now it is revealed that the FBI has not begun an investigation at the site yet over 2 weeks after the attack. CNN National Security Analyst Fran Townsend says the FBI has not ventured past Tripoli in their pursuit of the truth . CNN also reports that the State Department hasn't secured the consulate since the attack, despite a direct requests from the FBI.That means that an investigation of the site is pretty much a meaningless venture at this point since it is highly probable that evidence has been removed and/or tampered with .

    Also AQ leader Ayman al Zawahiri's brother has claimed credit as an organizer of the Cairo protest;which gives credence to the claim that the Cairo riots and the attack on the Ambassador was a coordinated event. I'm sure the Obots have been doing their best to keep the lid on this information until after the election . But the web of deceit is unravelling .

    Hello again, tom:

    Well, he was Jew... But he believed in taking care of his fellow man, didn't he?? He wasn't for throwing them off the cliff, was he?? If so, those are even BETTER reasons I'm NOT a Christian..
