For Romney and all the GOP to claim that "being a successful businessman" means you know more about "running the economy" than would a "community organizer" is bogus. For voters to believe that knowing how to turn a profit in the private sector means you know how to increase cashflow in a national economy and grow Federal budget surpluses,, is... well, it's just unfortunate that people fall for that kind of stuff.
