For eight years, George Bush and the Republicans had their way with massive tax cuts and slashing regulations. Where were the jobs?

Barrack Obama has created more jobs in three and one-half years than George Bush did in eight years. And there would be millions more if the obstructionist Republicans in Congress did not have as their number one goal refusing to pass any legislation initiated by the president.

They have so cynically put party before country it takes my breath away.

The House Republicans decided, back in 2008, that to keep the economy from recovering was their way back to the White House and they have done everything in their power to crush any legislation that would create jobs or help the economy. Their callous disregard of the American people is a national disgrace.

What does Mitt Romney have to offer? More massive tax cuts for the top 1 percent and gutting regulations — the Republican answer to everything.

Romney and his company, Bain, were the industry leaders in outsourcing jobs to China and India; corporate raiders who thought nothing of slashing wages, benefits and pensions in the name of profits; of loading up healthy companies with massive debt, taking huge management fees and letting businesses go bankrupt.

As to personal character, he has flip-flopped on every conceivable issue there is.

As governor, his state dropped to 47th in job creation and he left Massachusetts loaded with long-term debt.

Romney is the exact opposite of what this country needs.
