I have read his bio and am aware of his meager experience in the private sector. I do not think that being a marketing consultant for the family dirt business, driving the Weinermobile, being a waiter, fitness trainer or summer jobs at a camp constitute serious and in depth experience in the private sector nor business acumen.

As far as intellect goes, let’s stick to the subject since this was never mentioned or questioned. Noodling catfish can raise questions about sanity. I have done it and will not be repeating that adventure.

The fact is that while he exhibits conservative tendencies and seems to have at least more than a whit of knowledge about economics he is mostly a Washington insider and policy wonk having been nothing else since he was 28 years old. Most people who balance a checkbook can do a balance sheet. Recognition of the economic pit we are in offers little evidence of prowess in any regard since any damn fool could see that we can’t pay for what has been promised.

And yes, if he was paperboy he would have more experience than obabaloon. That is not the subject either. The fact is that I would vote for an unknown shoe to get rid of oblabla.

As for his hobbies, will you next exhibit him bare chested ala Putin with a kerchief around his brow like Rambo? Neither instance would change my view that his experience is dominantly political and Washington centric. I have no doubt that could be used to good advantage in the Spinate or House of Representin’ given the opportunity.

I continue to mistake this forum for a place of logical and objective discussion. Clearly others do not consider it so and instead are as bot like against oblabla as the obots are for him.

While I am not in agreement with Romney I will still vote against oblabla. That will not change.

No, I’m not kidding.
