ORIGINAL: papassion Romney would have a steep learning curve in foreign policy? lol You mean as opposed to Obama's ' vast experience" as a "community organizer"? ROFLMAO When its conveinent for the argument, Romney is said to be a master of setting up factories and jobs overseas. Which would mean navigating government red tape, rules, bribes, etc. Then when its suits the argument, Romney is said to be clueless about how foreign governments work. Its one thing when you have alot of money and dont have to be accountible or responsible for much as a busienss man. Its quite different when your a President of the United States of America. As the actions and words of a President can and do affect industries directly and indirectly (sometimes even over night). If the President got drunk and blurted out some 'company secrets', would that be bad for the nation? Oh Hell ya! If Mr. Romney, as a business man blurted out some company secrets, would that be bad for the nation? Not really. You fail to understand the differences between being a business man, and elected office. Mr. Romney is not clueless, he's just not honest or trustworthy. quote:
ORIGINAL: papassion Very rich businessmen hobnob with the real powerbrokers in any government and know how it really works. (One reason the're rich) You can bet your ass Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, etc. don't deal with low level state people if they want something. And when did Mr. Buffet or Mr. Gates run for 'President of the United States of America'? As funny as it might sound, both men have dealt with "...low level state people...." on an assortment of things. Sure, they could behave like assholes if they wanted to, but they possess a bit of intelligence and wisdom to know it would come to bite them in the ass later. Either indirectly or directly for their respected companies and organizations. How you treat the lowest of person's in your company speaks far and wide the caliber of character you have in yourself. (and these are even more reasons why they are rich).
