What is Mitt Romney's excuse ?

Mitt Romney's surprise campaign stop on Thursday at the headquarters of Solyndra

Mitt Romney's campaign didn't announce the event location or subject in advance and barred reporters from disclosing the venue until arrival.
The Romney campaign was concerned the Obama administration would work with local officials to prevent Romney from holding an event there.

(Mitt Romney's super-secret event at Solyndra was pre-empted by live cable TV coverage of the Bush portrait unveiling.)

Surprise! Mitt Romney offered no proof of his claim- of Obama's "crony capitalism." How many fudges and fibs did Mitt Romney tell ?

http://news.yahoo.com/fact-check-romney-misses-mark-solyndra-claim-193816773--finance.html

Can we talk about Alex Mistri, and former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld ?

Facts-

The roots of the loan made to Solyndra, actually emerged during the Bush administration.

As governor of Massachusetts, Romney handed out loans to firms in emerging technology fields, some of which ended up (like Solyndra) going bankrupt.

Mitt Romney allowed the stimulus, he did not oppose it. He squawked about it and then he caved in.)

What is Mitt Romney’s excuse for his leadership failure of Massachusetts?

Facts-

Romney raised fees- It is not a tax! It's a fee! (Where have we heard this, before?)

Increased state debt- The addition of $2.6 billion to the state's debt on Romney's watch. )

Put Massachusetts near the bottom in job creation. Under Romney, Massachusetts was ranked 47th in job creation.

Massachusetts manufacturing jobs vanished at twice the national rate.

Massachusetts household incomes fell even when they were rising nationally.

Massachusetts public sector jobs grew at six times the rate of private sector jobs.

Massachusetts unemployment figures were than the national slightly better than the national average, before Mitt Romney took office.

They were identical to the national average, when he left.

Andrew Sum, a professor of economics at Northeastern University-
The unemployment rate fell only because people were leaving the workforce in droves during Romney’s term. Just one state had a bigger drop
in its labor force during the same period, according to Sum — that was Louisiana, which was hit by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

Romney does not the facts and reality get in the way of his big, empty boasts-

On the other hand, Obama never did anything.

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

None of it matters.

I've said all along that the election hinges on how well off each voter is when it comes time to vote.

People dont give a shit about same-sex marriage and illegal amnesty and Trayvon Martin, they care about jobs, and keeping jobs, and 401Ks, and prices.

If ObamaCare is thrown out then Barack spent 3 years wasting our time.

As of right now it looks like America's luv affair with a Nigga President is over for a generation or two. This guy was The Messiah, remember!

I have a job and it really sucks.

this shows an amazing amount of research and investigation... if only half that amount of work went into the process of vetting losing propositions like solyndra in the first place

but getting A N Y obama supporters on these boards to admit that he's fucked up in even the slightest way is tantamount to expecting a reply letter from santa claus

Obama's made a lot of promises that he hasn't been able to keep thus far.

There you go.

 

[KingOrfeo]

There you go.

Still, 36% is not a bad record under the circumstances for "promises kept."

 

[gotsnowgotslush]

Republicans say it is NOT OK when Obama does it. But, it is OK if a Republican does the very same thing ?

Unfortunately, no one wanted him to keep them in the first place.

Some did, obviously, that's how he won the election.

I meant to say no one important.

haha, and what "circumstances" are those, exactly?

he's had a democratic majority in congress for most of his term, and despite reports to the contrary he's spent enough money to choke godzilla. so what's stopped him?

and for the record, any employee with a 36% production rate would be fired.
any test on which you scored 36% would earn you a slap from your teacher.
a car that works only 36% of the time is called a lemon.

although back in high school, if i got laid from 36% of the girls i chased, i would've been happy :-/

Ah, I get it now, you're a liar.

hey i'm not the one who promised to reduce the number of us citizens on food stamps, or close gitmo shortly after taking office, or lower gas prices, or put americans back to work.

now THAT sounds like a liar

 

[NeverEndingMe]

we must allow the obama to spend money like bill clinton in a whore house


every new citizen to this country should be given the obama debt card, where they owe uncle obama $50,000

obama spending is the only solution
look at the results so far!

why does it matter than 11 out of the 10 dollars obama spends is wasted on crap. more crap is good!

 

[MICH69AGIE]

I hate to say it but Romney acts like a Democrat.

How would a Pub act differently?

“Congress — Democrats and Republicans — put together a loan guarantee program because they understood historically that when you get new industries,
it’s easy to raise money for start-ups, but if you want to take them to scale, oftentimes there’s a lot of risk involved, and what the loan guarantee program
was designed to do was to help start up companies get to scale,” he said.

Mitt Romney seemed to share that view at one point in his career, the Obama campaign notes. The former governor’s 2008 energy policy platform called
for a “dramatic increase” in federal spending on clean energy technology projects. Romney also presided as Massachusetts governor over the award of
$4.5 million in state loans to two biotechnology firms that later went bankrupt, costing taxpayers and jobs.

Is this Mitt Romney's excuse? He ran rough shod, over anyone that got in his way, when he was Governor in MA. Suddenly, it was poor ol' Mitt, that was
pushed around ? (The Romney campaign says the governor had opposed the funding, though an advisory board that included his appointees and campaign
donors approved the measure.) And we won't see any email from Mitt's office in Boston. He took state property and sold it to his staff. As if, becoming the
Governor made him the CEO of a private corporation. No one in Boston had ever thought to make a law to prohibit this, because no one was underhanded
and dishonest enough, to do such a thing before. Once again, a gentleman's agreement, made for the convenience of everyone, is used and abused by a
Republican, to cause a nasty surprise. Mitt Romney can find nothing good to say about how President Obama has handled the many problems that this
country has had to face- because of Mitt Romney's heroes.

It is easy for Mitt Romney to say, that he would have done a much better job, than President Obama has. Mitt can say that President Obama should have
done a better job and should have done it differently. Mitt can say that a Tea Party Republican could have made everything absolutely perfect.

Would-a, should-a, could-a have had a Republican candidate, that could-a, would-a, should-a, got elected! Obama was elected. Now, why would-a,
could-a, should-a, that be the case? Not enough money? This year, we can expect the Republicans to spend a billion on getting the word out, that
the Republicans need more money. And a Republican president, to help them to get more money.

Uh...........that was his business, thats going to happen. How about his successes, Sports Authority or Staples....

Stop the nit-picking already..........

Lightsquared, lets not forget that one....
