The Obama campaign will come at this from all angles.
As a Governor, Mitt didn't create jobs.
As a CEO, he eliminated and outsourced jobs.
He paid himself millions in "management fees", even as he dismantled companies, fire people, and destroyed towns and the people who lived there.
They'll be hitting all of these points.

...and Obama is going positive. Romney is continuing to stumble on his own; no point interfering.

Vulture capitalist was either Gingrich or Perry.
