. . . spent his life running a business, Bain Capital, that did nothing productive and drove a number of middle class Americans into poverty by shipping their jobs overseas.

As has been said before, that's the number of estimated jobs that will be created over the next 4 years under the current policies. So Romney is really boasting that his approach would create the same number of jobs as Obama will.

So....he meant what he said? Then why did he have to hold a press conference to confirm that?

Boy, did he look like was melting down.

So much wild gesturing...rushing offstage without a final statement...Mitt, Mitt! Why even bother? Do you think this car crash of a press conference was an improvement on the train wreck you were trying to 'splain? And where the HELL are your advisors???

If you weren't such a mean spirited prick, I might feel sorry for you as you crash and burn. But you are, so I don't. Prick.

look at the left side of the video, his hair is out of whack and that's something that never, ever, has been apparent before. I'm not a person who looks at looks, but he's always so perfectly coiffed and his hair looks like a man who has been running his fingers through it in the throes of "what the fuck should I say now" kind of a speech. He's on his heels now and he knows it.
Unless he went with the Kelly & Mike thing and just got busy with Queen Ann and didn't know he had bed-head...

I'm guessing he knows he fucked up!

creating jobs for Americans, someone should have pointed out the part in the video where he was seemingly trying to sell the idea of sending more American jobs to China:



Notice how abruptly he walked away from the podium in the middle of the last question. If he's this authoritarian while he's in the middle of job auditioning, just imagine how secretive he'd be as president. Nixon looks like a Sunday school teacher compared to Bush & Rob-me.

Dear God, please ensure Obama wins this election. I pray on bended knees. I figure it definitely can't hurt. Aside from voting, donating, demonstrating, and spreading as much info on Rob-me (I like that) and his Koch habit as possible, hoping rednecks wake up. Thank you for posting that.

It's strange that he held the press conference in the first place. I think he knows it's slipping away and he's just desperately flailing for what he considers his birthright.

And that's just from justifying a speech he made at a fundraiser. How is he going to act in a REAL crisis? This man has NEVER faced ANY REAL crisis in his life. If you want to be POTUS you damn well better be able to handle one better than this. It was actually painful to watch.

What a sorry excuse for a man. He's never given anything back to the people that made him rich. Or helped the country in any way. No one in his family has ever even served in the military. He just takes, takes, takes and plans to keep taking. And he admits it. Quite the disgusting example of what fascism has in store for us. "Can I have ice cream if I do what I'm told, Uncle Chucky and Uncle Dave?". Barf.
