 Mitt Romney’s detractors in both parties are eager to point out one of the more glaring problems with the former governor’s background: he’s put thousands of Americans out of work.

I think I see the point Romney was trying to get at, but for a guy with an atrocious jobs record, who got very wealthy laying off American workers, “I like being able to fire people” is a seven-word phrase that may prove tough to live down.

I heard him say that and thought to myself what a good sound bite that would make. The more I see and hear of Romney the easier I think it will be for Obama to win.

Yeah, and Jon Hunstman has stated that those comments make Romney completely unelectable...

no matter what romney says it always seems to have the same tone...

'my dad is richer than your dad.'

    Romney is a dick. If the American people actually vote this loser in, it will be a down right shame. How does the song go: "you knew I was a snake when you let me in". God, I hope the American people are more intelligent.
