politics and politicians Title: Romney The Jobs-Destroyer Goes After Obama On Manufacturing jobs Mitt Romney is trying to make jobs, and in particular manufacturing jobs, an issue against Obama. One doesn't have to think Obama has had the best job creation or manufacturing policies to see a few problems with this. First off, this is Mitt Romney's own record on job creation: Second, our last "CEO president" who was going to do such amazing things for the economy was one George W. Bush. And in his two terms, the economy shed 4.5 million manufacturing jobs, nearly 3.5 million of those before the beginning of the recession. There's no question that the loss of good manufacturing jobs has been a problem for the economy workers live in, if not for the one multimillionaires like Romney dominate. And it's not an issue that Obama has addressed as consistently as needed, let alone as effectively. In fact, manufacturing is actually in a slight uptick at the moment: In 2010 and early this year, manufacturing output has grown as customers began building up depleted inventories. Manufacturing industrial production, measured on a quarter-to-quarter basis, grew at a 7% annual rate in the first three months of 2011, after expanding at a 3.4% annual rate in the fourth quarter of 2010. That's a start, but it's not enough, and if the Obama administration thinks it is, there's a world of hurt coming for Democrats in 2012. But the idea that Mitt "Bain Capital" Romney is a reasonable vehicle for an economic populist message against Barack Obama is one of the better jokes of the campaign so far.

It is an issue. Obama hates people who work with their hands. He has really soft sissy hands. Softer than a woman.
You forget what he's living with....yeeeecchhhhhh....... He's got to have at least one hand with a callous on it....
