Steve Forbes - presidential candidate in the RepubliCON primaries in 1996 and 2000. Even worse than Charles Schwab??? (LOL). I don't remember if Steve Forbes went around the country scaring seniors with low interest rate armageddon.
All about Charles Schwab's latest antics for anyone else reading this (and Beac's response):

On the OP subject, I've put together "EF economic facts" about Obama v. GW Bush http://www.democraticunderground.com/111622439, also mentioning Robme Romnesia's record (my stuff on Robme's record is short so I stuck it below the ====).
I definitely will include nuggets from the OP in EF Economic Facts.
=========== Robme Romnesia's job creation record =====================
(#.) And then there is this - Romney justifying his poor job creation record at the 3 1/2 year point of his administration as Massachusetts Governor -- by blaming the economy he inherited from his predecessor for the fact that his (Romney's) job numbers kept falling during the first 11 months of his administration -- and touting the number of jobs created (50,000) after his job numbers finally stopped falling -- http://www.democraticunderground.com/125198174
However, that 50,000 post-turnaround job creation record was a poor showing on a per-capita basis compared to the national average at the same time period, or the Obama record during the similar post-turnaround job-recovering period of the Obama administration. And consider that during Romney's entire 4-year term as governor, Massachusetts was 47th in job creation (in percentage increase terms) -- yes, only 3 states had a worse job-creation record.
By the way - he almost moved Massachusetts from 2nd place in per capita debt to 1st place.
