RHETORIC VS. RESUME - OBAMA VS. ROMNEY

A major New York newspaper and their Economist wrote an editorial today about Mitt Romney titled "Off and Out with Romney". 

In summary, the editorial claims that Mr. Romney's "career wouldn't have prepared him to manage the economy."  The editorial goes on in detail about Bain Capital, outsourcing, offshoring, health care, etc. The editorial is basically a political advertisement distorting facts to support the Obama campaign.

Here is the bottom line on both candidates:

President Obama was a short term United States Senator and to my knowledge never ran a business, never ran a city or state prior to his election.

Mr. Romney was a successful businessman, saved the Olympics and was the Governor of Massachusetts.

Where have we gotten with President Obama - what has he really done to help our economy grow? What experience did he have when we elected him to the highest office in our country?  In the words of this Editorial writer what in Obama's past "prepared him to manage the economy"? I say nothing much and that's one of the reasons we are where we are at now, no job growth and a business community afraid of what Obama may do next....

The fact is Mr. Romney is much more qualified to be President based upon his career than Obama was four years ago.  That's a fact.  Possibly if Mr. Romney was a minority he would have a better chance of winning the election  even if he was less qualified.

This failing newspaper needs to stop editorializing with malicious and inaccurate commentary.
