If you owned a business, who would you hire to run it: Obama or Romney?

[Harry Dresden]

And no, he didn't do what ANY president would have done after 9/11. After 9/11, we were all ready. We united, right and left, black and white, everyone. For a brief time there, we were just Americans, ready to take the fight to whoever attacked us. Ready to make the sacrifices both on the battlefield and here at home. And how did Bush handle it?

Bush showed after all this why he was such a piss poor leader......90% of the Country behind him,most of the planet.....and he shit in everyone's face.....but he was a fucking funny guy....

 

[The T]

Romney, hands down.

 

[rdean]

Other than being Leader of the Free World?

You seem to be laboring under the delusion that your messiah, Obama, has done anything even vaguely resembling "leadership".
Baaahhhh!

What has Romney done again?

He took out Bin Laden. Oh wait, that wasn't Romney.

With all due respect, Vidi...Bush's comments about shopping following 9/11 were about Americans carrying on their lives as normally as possible in the face of an unprecedented terrorist attack, rather than cowering in our homes, something that needed to be said in order to keep the terror attacks from crippling our economy. W's response to 9/11 was setting in motion the military operations to oust Al Queda and Osama bin Laden from Afghanistan.

I get what you're saying, but I have to say that it was the wrong thing for him to say at the time. People tend to forget the anthrax scare that was happening at the same time.

We shouldnt have been going about "business as usual" At a moment like that we need more than that.

We have nothing to fear but fear itself

Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country

Hell, even a Churchillian

Keep Calm and Carry On.

Bush's speech writers should have been fired. And ultimately that once again speaks to Bush's managerial skills.

no white republican would ever hire a black person

secondly romney gets millions from daddy

obama actually came up from nothing to something without taking millions from daddy

you make black people everywhere look bad.....you should probably shut the fuck up.....

Take out his first ridiculously stupid point and the rest is actually mostly accurate ( Obama wasnt "poor" his stepfather made some money, not George Romney money, but some money. )

...but the first part of his post is so stupid that it really does just drown out the rest, doesnt it?

 

[Papageorgio]

If you owned a business, say about 200 employees, with a lot of capital and stock and all that economic shit..........but you became ill, and needed someone to run the thing to keep it going so your kids and grandkids would benefit in the future from it, who would you hire to run that company: Barack Obama or Mitt Romney???

Simple question. Simple answer. Simple and obvious point.

Romney would pile on the debt, put it into bankruptcy, sell off the assets, and send whatever jobs leftover to China.

At least that's what he did when he worked at Bain. I tend to believe he would go with what he knows.

According to that theory, Obama would lose millions, bankrupt the company and blame the guy before him, yeah, I'll pass.

 

[Vidi]

Obama reminds me of a line from the Addams Family where Gomez is bragging how "I took control of a struggling company and in 6 months -- drove it into bankruptcy!"

Hmmm....now if he made a profit on it, that would be Romney.

Just saying.

except for the fact that the country ISNT bankrupt, we're ADDING private sector jobs and it WAS the guy before him that caused it.

Again, another person that doesn't understand the economy, this problem started 80 plus years ago, it was a combination of many policies and Americans on both the left and the right. When you can borrow 125% of your equity on a home, and still run up debt, we are in trouble. Obama has not learned the lesson of unchecked spending, we have no more bubbles to live on, after 80 plus years we are out of bubbles.

its basically for the shit he has said in other threads......this was just more ignorance....

Romney, but not because of his business experience. Obama would bring in Debbie Wasserman-Schultz to chair the Board of Directors, and listening to that shrill, New York accent would make me even more sick.

Do you know that non-profit is just a tax status and not an operating philosophy?

Non-profits that fail to run at breakeven are called "Former non-profits", they go out of business

Actually, that's not at all true.

Actually, it is

Apparently, you don't know the first thing about non-profit organizations. Non-profits have entirely different operational procedures, largely stemming from the fact that they are not allowed to maintain profits. Non-profits have to operate on a basis whereby any "profits" have to be spent, either in through re-investments into the organization (for example, a YMCA could use that money for facility upgrades, dispensing scholarship memberships, etc) or other charitable causes. Different states have different specific rules, but generally speaking there are very tight limits where a non-profit can only maintain a certain amount of positive revenue over specific time frames. For example, they might be allowed to generate positive revenue over the course of two years if they assemble a detailed plan regarding what they are saving the money for (maybe the YMCA is saving up to open a new branch in the next town over). Then, they have to follow through with the expenditure and return to an even ledger. Non-profits do indeed operate on an entirely different set of premises.

Hmmm....let me think about this.....the millionaire who makes all his money turning businesses around...yeah that guy...the millionaire please.

If a nonprofit cannot pay its bills it goes out of business.

Even a nonprofit has to break even in order to survive. Anything after the break even point applies to your post but up until the break even point a nonprofit is exactly like any other business.

Wasn't being a "businessman" touted as a plus for George W. Bush?

Simple question. Simple answer. Simple and obvious point.

Being the first Black was Obama's best qualification.

Now that you mention it.......we had to take his word he got Bin Laden. We have even less evidence that Trayvan Martin was hunted down like a dog than we do that Obama actually got UBL. All we have is his word. No pics.......nothing. The way he lies about everything else, I wouldn't be surprise if he faked the whole thing.

 

[mudwhistle]

The question didn't involve Bush, but the libs seem to still want to bring him into this.

Romney would be a better choice because he's actually made money fixing companies.

All Obama has done is intentionally broke something then claimed to want to fix it.......then leave before he could finish the job leaving everyone pissed off and at each other's throats. Meanwhile everyone is wondering where all the money went.

He's like the Aliens in "Independence Day".

He lays waste to everything he touches, sucks it dry, and moves on to the next target.

The premise that Romney has "fixed" companies is ludicrous. He didn't fix companies, he looted them.

AmPad had 11 million dollars in debt when Bain got into their lives. They closed down plants, fired hundreds of people, racked up 400 million in debt, and their stock was worth pennies when it finally declared bankruptcy.

Or GS Steel- Where they shuttered plants, sold off the assets, and left the pension fund having to go to the federal government for 44 million to stay solvent.

I don't want Romney "fixing" America like he's fixed the companies he's touched.
