I shall enjoy watching Obama spend all summer hammering Romney's Bain resume. And I suspect that the Romney team has more anti-Romney ammunition to reveal as we get closer to the GOP convention. Romney is such a flawed candidate. Stiff, awkward, an habitual liar and opportunist, devoid of ideas and solutions, Romney is just a terrible candidate and shows just how bankrupt is the GOP.

Watching Obama take down Romney will be like watching the young and beautiful Mohammed Ali float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. Zap-Whack-Kapow!

You don't have to lie about his record. You just have to reveal that record, and Romney looks awful. Romney is basically trying to hide everything about his past, his time as governor--no mention, his tax returns--not gonna release any more, his record running Bain Capital--he now denies having any knowledge of its activities during a really destructive period in its history.

Another thing is the people Republicans call "job creators" have actually been job destroyers. They order layoffs, and boast about their cost-cutting prowess, while hiring decisions always come from the lowest level of management making the case that they need more workers to meet demand from customers. It was mildly amusing back when Dick Cheney claimed he had come from the private sector, where he "created jobs," when in fact at Halliburton he had laid off over 10,000. You never hear a CEO say, "I want every department to INcrease headcount by 10%."

I like that the Obama campaign came up with a term to throw back in the face of the people saying "job creators" at every opportunity.

Doing the best things so conservatively."
