4. Community organizer, lawyer, college professor, State Senator, Senator, President.
Thats a hell of a resume if you ask me.

8. Perhaps never was a corporate drone/hack. Not the same thing.
Some people think it's not a "job" unless it enriches some corporation.

9. This from the guy
who takes over companies and gets rid of all the workers. How can he lecture anyone on jobs?

17. True, Mitt's version of "Successful Business Man" was firing people and putting companies out of
business.

22. That should be the add of 2011 and 2012
It would shut him down....he screams about unemployment but he directly contributed to it.

12. In fact, it is disdain for the public service.
What he meant was that he never held a job in the private sector (I am not even sure it is true because I cannot remember where he was lawyer), but this is what it is about.

The guy who wants to become president does not think that public worker is a job.

21. even that's wrong
uofchicago is private and the small civil rights law firm that he worked at to supplement his state senator and senior lecturer income was also private.

14. I'd point out that John McCain, to the best of my knowledge
has never been employed in the private sector his entire life. Annapolis to Navy to Senate. So I guess Mitt considers him unfit to have been the GOP nominee in 2008?

15. Obama worked at a
31 flavors ice cream place too. I bet Mittens never worked a day in his life in the private sector. With his dad as Mayor or Governor I really doubt he worked when he was younger.

20. I think he means
that he didn't have a job with "actual responsibilities" (which as near as I can figure, to Republicans, it means a job that involves enriching yourself instead of helping people lead better lives). :eyes: :puke:
