Republican Mitt Romney, now officially a 2012 presidential candidate, has made the rash promise, "If I become president, I will repeal Obamacare."
He also stated categorically that President Obama has "failed" and that he will make the United States the top creator of jobs.
Mitt Romney, whose state of Massachusetts during his term as governor has been rated as #47 in job growth by the U S Department of Labor;
Mitt Romney, whose former private equity firm, Bain Capital, a funder for his political runs, used various financial strategies that predictably caused the collapse of multiple companies, resulting in the loss of thousands of jobs, but in hundreds of millions of dollars for himself; a destroyer of jobs, not a creator, himself currently worth at least $200 million, recently joking to a small gathering of eight unemployed at the Buddy Brew coffee shop in Tampa, "I'm also unemployed";
Mitt Romney, whose excellent Massachusetts health care plan he continues to obfuscate because President Obama's law is patterned after it;
the seasoned business mogul and politician easily slides into denial and contradiction and is usually loath to admit error.
The ideal president willingly adknowledges mistakes and is as consistent as possible in a mercurial political climate while subscribing honestly to his basic convictions.
The presidential-looking Mitt
May really not be up to it.
The country's not a corporation,
A company isn't like the nation.
A balanced budget on the backs
Of those distressed or needy lacks
The true concern some presidents show;
That people count, some presidents know.
Is he just one more empty suit?
What's sure, something we can't dispute,
At waffling he's a shameless pro
Exceeded by no one but Newt.
