When your friend is running on his success of his time at Bain.... expect the facts to be shown.
Nobody claimed anything you said....
Regarding Obama, I don't see a firm of his claiming $950,000 a year for consulting fee. Try comparing apples to apples or oranges to oranges.
Or not,

LOL given that companies don't go bankrupt overnight, I think you are retching.... no thats not a misspelling

So Bain wasn't 100% successful, who claimed they were?
And why does it matter?

A lot of businesses went under on Clinton's watch too...BFD
Is Obama's record perfect?
Is there ANYTHING in his past say from 2000 we could point to?

And speaking of misspelled, thats is really spelled that's.

it matters TO ME,....because romney often touts his "real world" economy experience on creating jobs on his time at bain. which he didnt, or are mixed at best. Further more it calls into question his mindset of saying President Obama's policies are flawed when IMO obviously his concepts aren't any better and may indeed be worse.

sure a lot of businesses went under on Clinton's watch, but Clinton (nor Obama for that matter) wasnt driectly involved in their creation nor destruction, - but romney actually IS. now, while the HOPE is that romney learned a lesson from it.... him doing so is NOT what Im hearing from him.

Prove it, how many jobs did Staples and Sports Authority create... How many jobs were outsourced by Bain? How many of these numbers can Romney take credit for?

You guys keep bringing up his time at Bain, with NO FUCKING statistics to back up your arguments... Obama puts out a talking point to attack Romney for his time at Bain, and all of you parrot the talking point without ever proving a fucking thing... So if it really matter to you, show us what data you found that shows that Romney's concepts are worse than the last three years we've experienced under this administration. Romney was successful at Bain, Obama has been a disaster for this country, both of these points are facts. It's only perception and ideology that is blinding you to Obama's total cock up of this economy. Because you certainly haven't shown any facts to prove he's doing well.

It's one thing to have an opinion, it's another to claim your opinion is a fact.

We get it, you don't like Romney... Guess what, I don't like him either, but IMO he's a much better gamble than the current President, and I've shown my data as to why I think so.

Staples hires part time employees and pays about $10 an hour or less. Not a good job, no matter how you look at it. If you want to consider Romney a job creator for that, then go work at Staples...

Now I realize the goal of venture capitalism is to earn the highest return possible for the investors. And honestly, I wouldn't have a problem with it if Romney were honest about his time at Bain as being exactly that. But he hasn't been and won't be.

The truth of the matter of is, Romney took money from other people, bought up companies that may or may not have been in financial difficulty and loaded several of them up with unmanageable debt. Romney and his investors earned mega bucks off the deals and the workers got shafted. This is what corporate raiders do, it is not what 'job creators' do.

Staples, Sports Authority and whatever other minimum wage and near-minimum wage jobs Bain Capital happened to have created during Romney's tenure and shortly after he left were purely aborations in these businesses were far more profitable to them to continue to invest in and grow then to run to ruin.

Compared to the 45 million Americans that are out of work under Obama... Oh yeah, Obama should be proud to be known as the food stamps President... Jesse Jackson.

Like I said, you wouldn't vote for him no matter what, so bringing up Bain isn't going to change anyone's mind... Because compared to Obama's experience, Mitt is a fricking master craftsman.

You seem to forget, the job losses started under Bush--at about 8,000/month. We've not only stopped shedding jobs under Obama, but we've had 27 straight months job growth. It's been slow, sure, but there has been growth.

You also seem to forget that most newly unemployed people are those from the public sector, victims of Republican austerity measures. While Obama and the private sector have been struggling to grow the economy despite Republican obstruction at every turn, state republican governments have been laying off teachers, fire fighters. police officers and other public employees while cutting taxes in the millions for corporations (think Walker in WI and my own Gov. Corbett in PA and his tax cuts to the fracking companies all while schools districts are facing bankruptcy).

Job Growth Dismal, Unemployment Hits 9.2 Percent in June
The U.S. unemployment rate has increased for three straight months

By Danielle Kurtzleben
July 8, 2011 RSS Feed Print
Just yesterday, the nation's hopes were high in part on a report from payroll accounting firm ADP that the private sector added 157,000 jobs in June, as well as Labor Department reports of a decrease in new filings for unemployment insurance. But today's official unemployment report dashed those hopes, as the Labor Department announced that the unemployment rate had grown for the third straight month, inching up one-tenth of a percent in June to 9.2 percent.

Equally distressing, the total number of new jobs created in June was a paltry 18,000, the government reported, with government, finance, and construction continuing to be a drag on job growth. Most of the 57,000 new private sector jobs were offset by the loss of 39,000 public-sector jobs. Major gains came in leisure and hospitality, with 34,000 jobs added, and there was also growth in healthcare and manufacturing, which added 13,500 and 6,000 jobs, respectively. Many economists agree that to bring about meaningful shifts in unemployment, the economy must regularly add more than 300,000 jobs per month. Just to stay even with population growth, the economy must create 100,000 to 125,000 new jobs a month.
