Spence, I asked a fair question. You said being a CEO doesn't necessarily give Romney any insight into what the US neds. OK. So what was on Obama's resume as of September 2008, that made you think Obama had sufficient insight into what America needs?

Why can't you show a bit of intellectual honesty and answer? Shouldn't take you long to ask that on the Huffington Post and then copy the answer here...

That's not at all what I said. I said his role as CEO certainly gave him worthy executive experience. I also said his job of grooming companies to maximize profit (and often through destructive means) didn't necessarily give him a magic knowledge of how to solve the Countries issues.

I've never stated Romney lacks the qualifications to be President. I do agree with Newt Gingrich though that he'll say anything to get there.

I probably read the HuffPo once a year.

Here is what you said...

"Romney has executive experience certainly, but to say his business background somehow gives him grand insight into what the US needs to be successful is a bit of a stretch."

Romney knows, in the real world, what is good economic policy and what isn't. You could make a case that's a relevant skill in today's world.

OK. I'll ask you for the 4th or 5th time...what had Obama done prior to getting elected, that made you tihnk he had "grand insight into what the US needs to be successful"? If executive experience in the business world doesn't give one grand insight into macroeconomics, what does? Hanging out with Rev Wright? Voting "present" in the IL state senate? Supporting infanticide?

Have fun...

Sure, I can explain it, using words like "breathtaking stupidity" and "affirmative action".

I'm just not inclined to let Spence say that Romney's business experience isn't an asset to being presidency, not unless Spence can tell us what skills Obama had in 2008 that were more relevent to being POTUS than being a CEO.

Prior to getting elected President, Obama served 3 years in the US Senate where he accomnplished exactly nothing of any significance. His foreign policy experience was limited to bashing the Iraq Surge, refusing to admit that it worked, yet another example of where Obama showed his abyssmal inability to get anything right.

Prior to being in the US Senate, he was in the IL state senate, where he was famous for (1) voting 'present', and (2) supporting the right of mothers to kill their babies after they were born alive, outside the womb, not connected to the Mom at all.

Before that, he was a 'community organizer, i.e., racial agitator.

And according to Spence, that resume gives Obama better insight into what our economy needs, than Romney's undisputed successful career as a CEO.

God help us for what we are doing to our kids and their kids.

I realize that, plus keeping the Dow above 13,000 takes 24/7 vigilance.
Maybe you could answer my question on where you get your unbiased
info on a coffee break.

BTW, did you ask your Dad wether he would of rather had invested
his own SS monies yet.
So many questions,so few answers.
