“And to think there are FReepers that believe Romney would have been better than Obama.”

The proper term would be “not as bad as” Obama. Like being bit by a Copperhead is “not as bad as” being bit by an Eastern Diamondback, both are pit vipers but you have a much better chance of surviving the Copperhead’s bite. Better seems to imply that there might be something good about either one, like saying that Porterhouse steak is better than T-bone steak.
