Romney lacks breadth.. and depth.. in conservative issues. He's too 'lightweight' to attract a decisive consensus of independent and moderate voters. I'm not a betting man, but i'd put money on Obama if i could get anywhere near even odds.
- Yes, Romney obviously lacks breadth and depth and is a real lightweight, especially compared with management-trainee-in-chief Brack Obama.
- Romney graduated with honours in both business and law from Harvard, one of the tiny percentage who dares to take the combined degree program that is intensive and a full year shorter than these two degrees normally take. Obama's sole item of any note on his resume is that he, too, got an honours degree in law from Harvard although it is obvious to everyone that he did not take the business degree.
- Romney went on to star in the most prestigious consulting company of the 1970s - The Boston Group - and then formed Bain with both a consulting and a venture capital division which became a huge success making him very rich before he left for public service and making those who stayed even richer. He stepped in and rescued the Slat Lake City Winter Olympics of 2002 at no salary and then he became the highly successful and popular governor of Massachusetts also at no salary and got the budget balanced, taxes cut, a state health care plan, education reform and other things done working with an 87% Democratic legislature. All the while Mitt spent 10 to 20 hours a week of his own time and millions of dollars a year of his own money doing unsung and unpublicized projects to help the poor and the sick and others who had fallen on hard times.
- Barry? Why he was a community organizer on the mean streets of Chicago which are even meaner now than before he arrived there, a law school lecturer without tenure at a university in Chicago, a part time senator in the part time senate of Illinois and left no mark of any significance in any of these jobs. Then, he served 2/3 of one term as a US senator and again left no mark of any significance but lucked into the presidency when the loony left of the Democratic party chose him over Hillary for the Democratic nomination and he lucked into a Wall Street and housing collapse that the voters decided to blame entirely on the GOP. As president, he has kept none of his economic and fiscal promises, set new records in racking up debt with no discernible and lasting return, presided over the weakest recovery by far of all nine post WWII recoveries, refused to submit a budget to congress or work with congress, failed to consolidate US strategic gains in Iraq, is losing the war in Afghanistan, has made the US even more unpopular in the Muslim states of the ME than it was under Bush, is currently engaged in a shameful cover up of Benghazi that makes watergate look benign and is the worst president since Warren G. Harding in the 1920s.
- You can't seriously contend that this lightweight carpetbagger Obama is even in the same league as Romney let alone is more experienced, accomplished and qualified to be president. Or can you?
