Mitt Romney is kicking off his first big campaign sprint of the general election with a symbolic return on Friday morning to the same picturesque New Hampshire farm where he launched his campaign a year ago. From there, Romney will ramble through five other states on a five-day bus tour. But although Romney will start just 12 miles from Massachusetts, his tour will bypass his home state altogether. Massachusetts is where Romney moved for graduate school, ran a business, raised a family and served as governor. In pursuit of the presidency, however, Romney has all but ignored the state that was his launching pad. Why? Because Massachusetts residents, unlike residents of any other state, have actually seen Mitt Romney govern first hand. And apparently they didn’t like what they saw. Fifty-four percent of Massachusetts voters hold an unfavorable view of Mitt Romney, compared to only thirty-six percent who view him favorably. Polls in late May had President Obama leading Mitt Romney in Massachusetts by an average of 20 points. The result is a presidential nominee who, more than any other in recent history, has distanced himself from his home state and is unpopular with the voters who know him best. In addition, Romney almost never talks about his experience as Governor of Massachusetts. For example, he gave an economic speech in Ohio, but didn’t mention Massachusetts once. Perhaps that’s because of his dismal performance on jobs, where his record was one of the worst in the country. Massachusetts residents see Romney as a carpetbagger. Some of Romney’s old supporters question his commitment to the state. “He’s not one of us,” said Jessica Clark, 35, a waitress, as she took a break at the Main Street Cafe one morning earlier this week. “We’re not necessarily his home base. He’s got houses all over the country, and so his home base is wherever he decides it is at the time.” To sum up, during Mitt Romney’s four years: Massachusetts ranked third lowest in job creation and would have been second worst except that Katrina devastated Louisiana. Manufacturing payrolls declined by 14%. Massachusetts was the only state not to gain in number of employed residents. Only out-migration of working age adults kept the unemployment rate from ballooning, and The median (inflation adjusted) weekly earnings of full-time workers in Massachusetts declined by 2%. Why would we want to repeat this record on a national level? http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=PlnaYOv0DZY |

Sorry, but Gary Johnson doesn't have the $$$ or the friends in high enough places to fight Romney's machine gun loaded on full auto with Weapons of Mass Deception. I never thought money alone could win an election and corrupt democracy, but it could happen. It's amazing how the Republican voters hatred towards President Obama has blinded them to how Romney, Ryan and the Republicans in Congress are going to dismantle Medicare and Social Security. Its all because the wealthy dont want to pay their fair share for Medicare and Social Security, because they dont need it. We do, but guess what ? They dont care about our seniors, disabled or Veterans. It will be a rude awakening when those, who voted for the Republican's realize they just voted against themselves.Response to Re: facts about obama that cant be ignored..: In Response to Re: facts about obama that cant be ignored.. : Fox news has started getting behind Gary Johnson http://video.foxnews.com/v/1903131941001/gary-johnson-on-the-presidential-race/ http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2012/10/11/let-gary-johnson-debate/ They see Romney is a bad candidate.

So many will go into this blind deal with Romney, and cry for the next 4 years. People act like this is some sporting event, and their team must win. Fact is, if the Republicans win, the country loses. Adolf Hitler once made a statement " What good fortune for government, that people do not think". |
