Romney struggles to explain how he lost 5 million jobs

Alright, go ahead and ignore all the stuff about Obama promising to cut the deficit in half, and the $800 billion + spent to meet his projection of having unemployment at about 5.2% by now. Hey, it's only billions.

And regarding your point about his jobs bill. Even many Dems were not too excited about it...

But keep up your fictional claim that we would be so much better with it. Do you even know what it would cost vs. any jobs created? Especially considering the claims were exaggerated by almost 10X per this report?

edited to add, I got out my calculator...

2 million jobs claimed vs. 288K estimated by factcheck.org is off by 6.9 times.

OK I will address the original post. Romney and his advisors looked at how bad Obama has tanked this economy and now realizes it would be way too optomistic to promise 12 million jobs. (Just a wild assed guess on my part. :wave: )

So, you admit that the things you keep repeating as "promises" were NOT "promises", and that they are the usual campaign LIES...

Got it...

And "Jeep is [NOT] moving all of its production to China."

"Jeep isn't moving all of its production to China"? LJ is happy that only some of the jobs are going to China. Obama'sAmerica, where lowered expectations is the norm.

Where 1% growth under Obama is making progress, but 2.7% growth under Bush in 2004 isn't enough.

God, you are truly stupid... They're creating 1100 NEW JOBS in Ohio to start a new shift... What part of "NO JOBS ARE BEING MOVED TO CHINA" do you not get?

Oh, sorry... I forgot for a second who I was dealing with... My bad...

If you are starting production in Italy and China, instead of building new plants in America, jobs are moving overseas. Or do you think Fiat plans to send US hourly workers to build the Jeeps in China and Italy? Why if Romney does something like this you call it outsourcing, but when Fiat or GE does it, you are fine with it.

No... They aren't... NEW jobs are being created closer to the country where the products will be sold.... Gee, Mitt-flop did it for years...

Gee, what does this have to do with the OP? How DOES RMoney explain the fact that his "promise" of 12 million jobs suddenly lost 5 million?

NOW, he's say it's 7 million jobs. What happened to the other 5 million jobs he promised?


Your turn.

OK, in the OP you just posted a picture, like usual. Do you have a link to back it up?

I've searched for it and I don't see any change. Romney's website still says 12 million jobs.

Of that 12 million claim (not that I support the claim), he has said 7 million would come from his tax reform. I'm thinking your picture got that confused with Romney's overall claim.

But I'm just talking to a picture, so who knows?
