2012 U.S. Presidential Election

[Roy Karrde]

You bring up the bad parts of the President's past, he's going to bring up the bad parts of Romney's past. Turnabout is fair play.

Except Solyndra happened under Obama's watch, this event did not happen under Romney's watch.

Besides... If Romney is such a good job creator... I seem to remember him saying that he likes to fire people.

Yes if a company is failing, it needs to be stripped down and rebuilt from the bottom up. If nothing was wrong with the company then Bain would never have needed to step in and no one would need to be fired. But mind you in turn as the company is being rebuilt more people are highered and it becomes successful again.

And don't try to explain that, and say that there was a benign meaning to it. Saying it in ANY way is bad. NO employer should EVER like to fire people.

Context helps, Romney wasn't speaking as a employer, he was speaking as a consumer.

"“I want individuals to have their own insurance,” Romney said on Monday. “That means the insurance company will have an incentive to keep you healthy. It also means if you don’t like what they do, you can fire them. I like being able to fire people who provide services to me.

“You know, if someone doesn’t give me a good service that I need, I want to say I’m going to go get someone else to provide that service to me.”"

If you are being provided poor service by your insurance company would you keep them around? I sure as hell wouldn't.
