In reply to the discussion: Romney: I would have done a better job than Obama [View all]Jack Rabbit

Of course, Obama has done well enough in that department, but I'm convinced Romney could have done better.
I am critical of President Obama, but under the circumstances, I do not regret voting for him a second time even though I had major problems with his record for the first four years and continue to have them. Mr. Romney did or said nothing to indicate he would have made those things of which I have been most critical of the president any better and, in fact, I believe they would have become much worse under an administration directed by an infamous vulture capitalist.
I dread the idea that the next election will present us the choice between another Wall Street stooge and a Koch whore. I don't think America will survive either.
