Momma said wonk you out

PRIVATE EQUITY AND YOU.

Great line from Romney. "I know what makes jobs come, and I know what makes them go." Mitt Romney was CEO of a private equity firm. He ran Bain Capital. Mitt Romney makes jobs come, and more often, makes them go.



COMMENTS

That would be private equity firm, young Ezra. Interesting Freudian slip...

Mitt Romney, the BAIN of the American worker and the American Dream. Which iteration of RomneyDroid are we at here?

Maybe he meant it as a threat...

I give you punks your jobs and I can take 'em away!

(that seems to be exactly the strategy Wal-mart is trying to use this election)

Nice jobs you got there, be a shame if something were to happen to 'em.

Did Mitt get off message? I don't recall him mention that McCain was a POW. Did I just miss it, or did he lose a page of his speach?
