    The man never held a real job in his life. He won a senate race because some woman sued the incumbent 30 days from vote for having a mistresse....he got elected based on jon stewart anger and media furor not facts......and proceeded to spend and tax usa into a hole so deep we may never reover while letting the iditos at the fed who caused 2008 run wild and now enact unlimited QE3 buying bad loans from banks with tax payer money to stimualte jobs? loans that never shoulda been at those bubble prices to being with? This is tyrrany and AIG and GM shoulda went down outa business thats what shoulda happened and let recovery last 1 year not 10 like obama started. Clinton fanny freddy caued 2008 by counterfeiting money and saying you must give loans to lazy people who don't pay thier bills. Wow what an epic fail.

    If unlike FDR obama had blocked the bailouts and championed the american people over big government, the cleanout woulda happened already, the iditos at gm and AIG would be thrown out, and fannie freddy would be hobbled or eliminated unliek dodd frank which gives 5 banks status too big to fail crony god status.

    Wall street was not cause of 2008 it was fed fannie adn clintons mandate to give loans through fanny. rest follwoed from cause

    If you run a business you guard costs. This is one thing no politicain has any incentive to do. They wana spend unlimited and then leave. More they spend more cronies happy and cmore they calim they did for poor which is always bullshti since if they wanted to help th epoor youd jsut give them the cash and let them decide if your (*)(*)(*)(*) is worth buying.

    step 1 balance the budget
    step 2 end the fed
    step 3 tax not making money or paying employees but spending www.fairtax.org
    step 4 manage education money privatley like a business, end the crony, and realise 20-100x as much money is spent as is needed in education, and that USA graduate more phd in education, aka welfare job snobby attitude burocrats, than MBA each year the crony is so big
    step 5 end the wars bring troops home now and make trade compaies pay for escorts of tankers or joint military of both trading countries guards tankers n trade ships or jets
    step 6 end grants to universities and replace with private labs, and have tek olympics for given tasks
    step 7 allow atomic power
    step 8 allow private non union trains

    Um.... no.

    Numbers say only 6% of it was due to Fannie/Freddie.

    Repackaging accounts for the other 94%.

    Sorry, that's the way this one rolls.

    What we don't want is a "corporatist" as president as they favor the corporations and the wealthy over the People. While there are some similarities between government and corporations those similarities are very limited. For example a corporation may choose to export manufacturing to improve corporate profits for the wealthy but the government cannot export jobs and should work against that happening (which neither Romney or Obama is actually addressing).

    As Romney has stated he really doesn't care about 1/2 of the American people because they are not corporate owners. His policies favor the wealthy over the middle-class because he's under the delusion that if the wealthy are making money then everything is okay in America and that is far from the truth. There is the lie that wealthy investors created jobs which, for the most part, isn't true. Most wealthy investors are purchasing stocks from other wealthy investors and not one dime of that money goes to fund the enterprise. The wealthy become more wealthy based upon existing enterprise and not on new enterprise. Trickle-down doesn't work overall even though a few people make a lot of money based upon it. For most it doesn't work at all because the money hovers at the top of the food chain and doesn't make it down to the average person.

    The last "businessman" you all put in office was a disaster.

    Reagan had little business experince and neither did Clinton. Both were far better.

    We need someone who can run the federal government, not a business.

    Good reason why we don't want a business running the country.

    Govt is not a for profit business where the ONLY consideration is enriching yourself. Plus businesses are not democratic in structure. That's why Ross Perot would have been total disaster if he ever gotten elected. He was used to just giving orders like a dictator would.

    In truth the best person to be president is a statesman and not a businessman or a military leader. Being the president is all about statesmanship.
