This chart says it all. Who would you rather have in charge? Romney or Obama, note the MASSIVE fall with Obama.

Here is what the article to which you link says, "Romney’s record was weaker than other governors of similar states in the same time period."

Unemployment was less then 5% under romney how much lower could it really get, the fact he created more jobs was amazing vs obummer[/quote]

Yes, 5% unemployment is full employment. Under Romney it was as low as 4.7% Are you really going to argue job creation numbers with unemployment numbers like that? Had a conversation with a MA based general contractor. He has a small construction company and reports that it was impossible to find enough workers during those days. We should have such problems now. [/quote]

You guys need to get your story straight. The guy above posted a chart that is supposed to show that Romney had a great job creation record. In fact, MA was 47th in the nation for job creation. Now, you claim because unemployment was low -- something Romney inherited -- he couldn't create very many jobs. So, which is it: did Romney create jobs or not? The fact is, Romney came into office with MA's unemployment rate already below the national average. The only reason unemployment fell is that residents were moving out of the state. During Romney's administration, MA had the third-highest rate of departures in the country. Romney had given MA residents the largest per capita debt in the nation and increased taxes on the middle class. No wonder construction friend couldn't find workers: they had all moved to other states!
