His people have done a horrible job of preparing him. Perhaps he is so rivh he thinks he doesn’t need to listen to anyone. Just like Palin

It seems rather amazing that in five years of running for President full time, that Mitt Romney is having so much trouble getting his around the political fall out he would get from remarks such as that he likes firing people and that having a large fortune hidden away in off shore tax shelters would be problematic.

Can we really believe that a man such a long learning curve on the basic realities of American politics can handle the nuanced, complex and convoluted politics that are required in governing.

Romney has one great accomplishment to his credit as Governor of Massachusetts: it is universal health care. We can see that he accomplished this through careful mediation and scrupulously avoiding turf battles and personal power contests.

But Romeny’s strategy can only work on an issue like universal health care which has broad public acceptance and a wide array of ardent supporters.

If an issue requires a leader who can actually lead, that is define policy, take a stand, prioritize resources and stand by his decisions, Romney seems at a loss. The vacilation and tentativeness he has shown in dealing with his opponents in the GOP nomination contest, in which there is only on issue- the nomination itself- to consider, demonstrates conclusively that Romeny lacks both the ability to articulate and persuade others to follow a strategic vision, and the strength of will to carry out the steps necessary to follow through on his vision.

Mitt Romney clearly is a weak leader who does not have the strength of character necessary to lead the USA.

I wouldn’t vote for Mitt Romney if he were running against Charles Manson. He’s just another rich, slick creep.

That would be great law. We need a whole new tax code to kill the lawless bush tax code. The anti bush taxes = fiscal responsibility!

although i disagree with Krugman as to the effects of “free trade” b/c i’ve seen hundred if not thousands of my fellow americans laid off due to outsourcing

Krugman has been dead on as to the ramifications of the great recession…

Mitt Romney and his ilk on wall street are job destroyers, class warriors and enemies of the working people and what’s left of the middle class…

all these free market fundamentalists need to be shown the door
