Before I go into my post, I'll go ahead and smack down Obama, lest someone think he should be kept in office.
1) The Justice Department is totally corrupt. The coverup with respect to the 'fast and furious' debacle is one concern. The failure to investigate and prosecute Wall Street related felonies is another. The fact that Jon Corzine is a free man is outrageous.
2) The BP disaster. Obama's response took weeks and the stonewalling and propaganda from both BP and the government during that period was not unlike what one would have expected out of the old Soviet Union.
3) Foreign policy. Our intervention throughout Northern Africa, the Middle East, and Southeastern Asia is turning the region into a mini-caliphate.
4) The economy. It's running on fumes and most of the fuel that keeps it going at this point is a combination of government deficit spending and fraud.
5) Erosion of the Constitution. While this seems to be a fully bi-partisan effort, Obama has increased executive power every step of the way.
Now. Let's move on to the other choice.
There are some good arguments for why Romney could make a good chief executive. Three come to mind.
1) Hes smart.
2) He has experience as an executive in the business world and as a governor.
3) Obama has been a disaster.
The negative?
1) Can't trust the MF'er.
By now, those of you that chose to read the Rolling Stones article on Bain have done so. It was an informative article by Matt Taibbi and provided a basic outline of what a leveraged buyout consists of, and what the main financial advantages are from this practice.
Here's the original article if you need a refresher.
I had thought Taibbi did a good job in his research, but this morning I stumbled onto another article that explores deeper into Bain's practices, particularly Bain's ventures into the medical treatment industries. Most of the activity apparently occurred after 1999 when Romney no longer actively ran Bain, however he remained heavily invested and profited immensely from Bain's LBO's. And as a shrewd business man, Romney certainly knew what was going on.
After reading this article (unless you believe the writer is slandering Bain) ask yourself just how much the economy was helped. Maybe your medical bills and insurance premiums reflect Bain's profiteering. The story will be pasted below.
