So Mitt
Romney comes out of hiding once again to talk about jobs. Never mind the rest
of the political world is talking foreign entanglements and energy policy.

Writing in USA Today, Romney attacks the
President on jobs, and throws out a few focus group tested talking points.

Now
granted jobs are a big issue, with true unemployment stuck in the mid-teens,
but is Mitt Romney really the “go to guy” on job creation? Mitt’s record
in both business and as Governor of Massachusetts says not just no, but HELL
NO!

Back in
mid-February of this year Mitt came out rambling incoherently about jobs and
ObamaCare, seemingly oblivious to the fact that he, not Obama, is the
father of socialized medicine in America. At the time, we reminded everyone
that in February of 2010, Mitt tried the same thing with no success.

Hmm,
February, groundhogs ….

Mitt’s
problem with this, and most issues, is credibility. Oh he talks a good game,
but when in a position to play, he’s a miserable failure, not a competent
Executive.

The
Republican contender was the governor of Massachusetts from January 2003 to
January 2007. And during that time, according to the U.S. Labor Department, the
state ranked 47th in the entire country in jobs growth. Fourth from last.

The
only ones that did worse? Ohio, Michigan and Louisiana. In other words, two
rustbelt states and another that lost its biggest city to a hurricane.

The
Massachusetts jobs growth over that period, a pitiful 0.9%, badly
lagged other high-skill, high-wage, knowledge economy states like New York
(2.7%), California (4.7%) and North Carolina (7.6%).

The
national average: More than 5%.

This
was after four years. So far Obama has been in office for just one year. How
was Romney’s performance by his first anniversary?

Fiftieth
out of fifty.

That’s
right. In Romney’s first year in charge, Massachusetts ranked dead last in
America in jobs growth.

Fiftieth
out of fifty in job creation, and Romney has the temerity to call Obama out. It
would be comical if it wasn’t so tragic!

more about Romney’s real record on job creation here.

Oh I
know, Mitt’s a “businessman” and did well running Bain Capital. Well,
yeah, HE did. The employees of the companies his “churn and burn” outfit
bought and sold? Not so much.

You can
read how Bain Capital destroyed jobs here.

There
are a lot of people who think Mitt Romney is up to the task of being President.
The problem with that is his record says the exact opposite.

Lack of
quality jobs is a major issue in this country, but Romney has already proven
that he doesn’t have the slightest clue how to remedy the problem. He had four
years as Governor of his state to show America what he was made of. He failed
miserably.

Mitt
Romney calling President Obama out on job creation is the ultimate “pot
calling the kettle black” moment!

We need
real leadership in this country; someone with a PROVEN record of
successful leadership. Someone who has
managed budgets, created huge surpluses, and actually created jobs. Romney is
not our guy.

Caveat
emptor
