Actually - this presents the Romney we need as POTUS as opposed to Choomer in Chief 

[Soul Crusher]

Romney accomplished this, he said, by applying the principles learned at Harvard Business School and put in practice building a personal fortune estimated at $250 million: Start with tearing apart the books and bringing in experts from both the finance and Olympic world.

"I heard Mitt over and over again giving a speech talking about the need to separate 'want-to-haves' from 'need-to-haves.' He set clear priorities, made hard decisions and stuck with them."

The Salt Lake games got more taxpayer dollars than all of the previous U.S.-hosted Olympics combined: a whopping $1.3 billion. For comparison, the 1984 games in L.A. received $75 million and the 1996 games in Atlanta received $609 million. It's clear that the real hero of the 2002 games was the American taxpayer.

IMO, my pet goat could have saved the olympics with 1.3 BILLION in taxpayer dollars to do so.

Bennett said when he took Romney around the Capitol to meet key members of Congress soon after he was hired, “his competence was just obvious. He was completely on top of the problem. Any questions they might have, he had answers for.”

Romney, though, “is not a natural politician,” Bennett said. “He’s looked a little bit awkward at times. But he’s also demonstrated a capacity to learn,” bringing together a stronger campaign team this election.

Really?  Obama got 6 Trillion dollars and was not able to fix the economy correct?

nice subject change.  I take it you concede the point that 1.3 billion in federal bailouts for the olympics makes romney a tad less heroic?  lol

Not at all since just because someone spends money to do something does not make something successfull.   Solyndra anyone?

you continue to make my point.  Romney spent tax dollars, a lot of the, to fix the olympics.

WAY more than previous olympics.  he showed us very little there.

you go back to obama, which is fine, but i've yet to see rmomeny be good at anything but scalping companies, using fed bailout money, and signing assault weapon bans.  your candidate is shit.  just admit it and say it's better shit than obama.

[howardroark]

There's no question that Romney is a very competent manager and executive. What remains to be seen is if he'll be able to make the deep cuts to government spending and reforms in order to balance the budget and increase economic growth.

it's easy to predict.  What did he do as governor?  Did he create jobs?  Did he slash spending?  DId he preserve individual rights?  Or was it a bloated liberal agenda?

it's a lot different to pick-and-choose which firms to acquire.  As governor, he had to deal with ALL of the states problems (as president does).

One used tax dollars to fix something (the Olympics).

One used tax dollars and didn't fix something (the economy).  

I don't want someone taking my money...but if someone takes my money and gives me more money back, I'm a little less annoyed.  If someone takes a lot more of my money and I end up 4 years later without a job and a devalued home....I'm a lot more annoyed.  


It's getting really annoying to see you make invalid correlations on every reply you post.  You can't make a one-to-one correlation on every topic and issue.  Just because someone was wearing green when they robbed a woman doesn't mean everyone that wears green robs women.  

Your de facto response to everything is to take an injective function of the two candidates (or parties) and try to exploit some random element as if the function were an isomorphism, which it almost never is.  That's not logically valid and it's incredibly frustrating to see you do it over and over again.

Maybe obama just needed more money.  I mean, ROmney used nearly DOUBLE the amount of money the last two olympics combined.

Soooooooooo....

Using your logic... Bush used 3 TRILLION in total bailouts in 8 years.  Obama uses 787 billion in 4 years.

if you gave obama 6 trillion in bailout funds, then I bet he could have been successful too.  Romney just had SO MUCH money compared to the last 2 terms before him.

Incorrect....as usual

[Soul Crusher]

Incorrect....as usual

So you think Obama has fizxed the economy? 

[240 is Back]

Incorrect....as usual

Obama issued a stimulus of 787 billion.   Bush spent over 3 trillion, as TA showed. Just not in one shot - it was spread out.  Obama took the hit ONCE.

What do you call running 1.5 trillion in deficit spending every year dumb ass?

A big spending coward and flip-flopper

if you want to introduce that into the equation, you have to tell me bush didn't run one, and that the repub congress didn't vote for that deficit.

Comparing stimulus spending, obama is running 787 billion, bush ran 3 trillion.  Fact. 

either way, romney got a fed bailout to run olympics then bragged about 'saving' them.  The taxpayer saved them.

actually i heard romney taking credit for the gm bailouts -

Despite his 2008 call to "let Detroit go bankrupt," presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney said Monday that he would "take a lot of credit" for his impact on the U.S. automobile industry's comeback.

During an interview with WEWS-TV in Cleveland following a campaign stop, Romney said his views helped save the industry.

"I pushed the idea of a managed bankruptcy," Romney said. "And finally, when that was done, and help was given, the companies got back on their feet. So I'll take a lot of credit for the fact that this industry's come back."

First of all, don't put words in my mouth and then use them to make unsubstantiated claims/conclusions.  Making false assumptions like the result of "my logic" is what I was complaining about in my original post.

There is no such thing as "my logic."  If it's "my logic" or "your logic," then it's false.  Logic isn't open to interpretation.  The problem is that you do exactly what you did in this reply.  You take a set of elements common to both parties (government funding) and assume that because particular result of it is common to both parties (money spent on something) that you can argue that ALL results must then be common to both parties AND that no result can be unique to a single party.  It's taking an injective function of two sets and using that to argue that the sets are isomorphic.  It's NOT logically valid and using the same damn thing to argue a secondary isomorphism (the "my logic" leap) is even worse.

"Let Detroit Go Bankrupt" weren't Romney's words, but the words of the WSJ Editorial Board.

Also - what ended up happening to GM and Chrysler? Both took bailout funds and then both went bankrupt.
