David Gregory asked Cramer if Romney will be able to get a sustained bump from the job creator claims. Cramer admitted that people may be receptive to some of what Romney has in his ads, but the simple truth to him is that Romney cant accurately say hes created jobs given the public perception of his time at Bain Capital.
Romneys known as a job destroyer, not a job creator. I just dont think that this will stick. I think Bain sticks. I think the idea that you bring in Bain, which is what happened in the 80s, they fire a lot of people and thats how they get prosperity for the rich. That is a more resonant theme, I think, than anything Romneys come up with.

(35,197 posts)"Romney cant accurately say hes created jobs given the public perception of his time at Bain Capital" is simply incoherent.
It assumes that accuracy depends on public perception.
Try this parallel: If public perception is that global warming is a hoax, the claim that average temperature have risen over the last 40 years is inaccurate.
Perhaps the claim won't be convincing. Perhaps it won't be taken as plausible. But accuracy (or inaccuracy) doesn't ultimately rest on perception.
(As for Bain, I can recall the conversation in the late '90s about steel dumping and the problems the steel industry was in. The failure of a small steel company in the late '90s is more of a given at this point rather than something that needs a lengthy explanation.)
