Going to be representing the President for my school at a debate

at the JFK Library. From the top of my head and from searching a few things, I haven't even begun to scratch the surface of damaging things I could say against the other Romneys. A few big things stand out, such as:

The 47% comment
His trickle-down economics
The Ayn Rand VP candidate that he chose
His persistent flip-flopping and the sobering reality that no one really knows what exactly will he do when he takes office
and so on.

There are literally hundreds of things I could call them out on. Do you guys have any other things I could add to the mix?

His offshore accounts to minimize how much he pays in taxes.

His investments in Chinese government owned oil company:

Also that his "private sector" business experience was just bleeding existing or start up companies via selling off assets, shrinking the workforce to maximize profits, killing future potential for current profits.
Hell, what he says is bad enough but what his life and work experience says about him disqualifies him to sweep my garage floor.

Accusing the Prez of apologizing for Libya attacks
One Term Governor who left MA in shambles
Wants the middle class to pay the rich for being rich
Wants students to borrow money from their parents to pay for college
Ran from Romneycare until he didn't....recently
Thinks immigrants should self-deport
Has foot in mouth disease, goes on world tour embarrassing himself and pissing off nations.
*Was a bully who cut a kids hair
*tied his dog on the roof of his car
Was born in Michigan and wasn't asked to produce his birth certificate.

Just to show how out of touch this guy is to be our president, or anyones president for that matter.
