 More things you might want to know



  • ·         A Romney/Ryan Administration would very much resemble the previous Bush administration with 17 of 24 Romney's advisers holdovers from the Bush administration pushing discredited supply side economics and aggressive stances toward Iran, Syria, China and North Korea.
  • Romney and all Republicans insinuate our sixteen trillion dollar debt is Obama's fault. Truth is, Obama inherited almost all of the debt, including debt accruing on his watch from Bush. Even with the economic crisis the increase in government spending is the lowest it's been since President Eisenhower. 
  • Nothing that Mitt Romney has said or done, in the past or while I've been following him for the last eighteen months, gives me any indication that he could fix the economy, create jobs or run the government. Just the opposite. His vague, trust me attitude, reminds of a Twenty-first Century Joe Izuzu. His so called policies, which I call thoughts de jour because tomorrow they may be the opposite tomorrow or sooner have been all over the map and whoever said trying to tie Mitt Romney down is like trying to nail Jell-O to a wall was spot on. He's slippery, sniveling, self-centered and we don't need him for President.
