Some facts about Romney that we won't get from the mainstream media but ought to get from his campaign or the RNC:
After earning his BA from BYU, went to Harvard as a Baker Scholar and attended both Harvard Business School and Harvard Law School simultaneously, earning both his Juris Doctorate and a Master of Business Administration. He passed the Michigan bar, but never worked as an attorney. Quite the opposite of our current President who has kept his college transcript, records and grades a strict secret!
In fact, if Mr. Obama had not landed the nebulous job of "community organizer" in Chicago and worked as US Senator for 6 months, before winning the Presidency, he would have absolutely no resume whatsoever. The truth is without disclosing his college transcripts and GPA, Mr. Obama would not be able to even qualify for an interview for an entry level sales or management job with any real business. Perhaps the qualifications for a career in "community organization" are not quite as stringent?
As a venture-capitalist, Romney's first major business deal involved investing in a start-up office supply company with one store in Massachusetts that sold office supplies. That company, called Staples, now has over 2,000 stores and employs over 90,000 people.
Romney or his company Bain Capital (using what became known as the "Bain Way") would go on to perform the same kinds of business resurrections again and again, with companies like Domino's, Sealy, Brookstone, Weather Channel, Burger King, Warner Music Group, Dollarama, Home Depot Supply, and many others.
Sure, there were a lot of union workers who lost their jobs in some of these fixes, but union workers or just too many employees were usually one of the main reasons most of these companies were insolvent, and turned to Bain for rescue...and changed to keep from going out of business.
In stark contrast, the Obama administration has given away millions and millions of taxpayer dollars to Solyndra and at least six other similar"green energy" enterprises and several other companies (every one large Obama campaign contributors)...and lost it all with their bankruptcy. If Obama were president or CEO of any real company (instead of the government) he would probably not have made it past his first year without being fired for his inept decisions.
With regard to personal service...
Mitt was a volunteer campaign worker for his father's Michigan gubernatorial campaign for 1 year.
Unpaid intern in Governor's office 8 years.
Mormon missionary in Paris for 2 and a half years.
Unpaid bishop and state president for his church 10 years.
He took no salary as president of the Olympics for 3 years.
Took no salary as MA governor for 4 years.
That's over 28 years total of unpaid service to his country, his community and his church.
In all fairness, I really do not know what the job of "community organizer" pays in Chicago, but I do know that Mr. Obama has been living, traveling and vacationing off our dime since becoming Senator Obama.
With regard to charity...
In 2011 Mitt Romney gave over $4 million to charity, almost 19% of his income....
Obama gave 1%.
At least we know what religion Mr. Romney really espouses, we know that he won't desecrate or ignore our flag, bow down to foreign powers, or squander our tax money on vacations. He is clearly our best chance to turn around this financial debacle that the current administration has gotten us into.
But, on the minus side, Mitt never was a "Community Organizer", never took drugs or smoked pot. Never got drunk. Did not associate with communists or terrorists. Nor did he attend a church for 20 years whose pastor called for God to d**n the United States!
And yet some pollsters say Barack Hussein Obama is ahead of Romney in spite of having the worst record as president in modern history? These are the same pundits that said Jimmy Carter would defeat Ronald Reagan in a landslide.
