Obama: Romney Not Very "Qualified To Think About The Economy As A Whole"

"When some people question why I would challenge his Bain record, the point I've made there in the past is, if you're a head of a large private equity firm or hedge fund, your job is to make money. It's not to create jobs. It's not even to create a successful business - it's to make sure that you're maximizing returns for your investor. Now that's appropriate. That's part of the American way. That's part of the system. But that doesn't necessarily make you qualified to think about the economy as a whole, because as president, my job is to think about the workers. My job is to think about communities, where jobs have been outsourced," President Obama said in an interview with Charlie Rose that aired on CBS' morning program "This Morning." More will air on CBS' "Sunday Morning."

No matter what they (or we) think, reality is a b!tch.

Preach it brother man!

I thought I heard Romney was a governor of some state.

Hmmm... I would be interested in debates that have candidates work out a few timed math problems- on a screen where we can watch as they work the problem. That’s not an economy but it would be interesting.

Besides burying your face in your boyfriend's lap sparky... and reciting alinsky’s manual... what the hell are you qualified to do... you traitorous bastard son of a whore and a communist drunk?

Didn’t Zero take a stab at the Olympics? I don’t recall Chicago getting them..

de'bummer lost money on the Olymics for Chitown and didn't even get the games!!

If I was on Romney's team...I could make a KILLER commercial with these words: Compairing his experience in prior to the 2008 election to Romney's. It would be EPIC.

It ends with..."So, Mr, President, whose lack of experience are you referring to?"

Coming from the guy who, if judged on actual ability and content of character, might--might--be qualified to work as a low speed yo-yo operator... We so desperately need that fool out of there come January.

[DustyMoment]

Whereas, zero, who never had a real job or had to meet a payroll (it was above his paygrade) is now an expert on economics!!

It is to laugh. Zero is such a drooling moron that he is giving drooling morons a bad name!!

I wouldn’t pay Obama watch my dog. After a day with dear leader the dog would be peeing on the carpet, eating food off the table, and trying to bite me.

Comparing Obama’s business abilities to Romney’s, is like comparing Donald Duck to Donald Trump.
