Can we all agree that Romney is a better person than Obama?

When Mitt Romney was a young man, his father gave him direct advice: “He said never get involved in politics if you have to win election to pay a mortgage,” Romney often says. “Financial independence was key.”

The son followed this advice so successfully that he made a fortune, retired in 1999, turned to public service and has never taken a salary since.

Saying he's a great person because he publicly turned down a salary that would have had an insignificant effect on his total wealth anyway is lame and you know it.

I'm sure Mitt Romney is a decent enough guy. Obama too.

But one is a D and the other a R and that's all that really will matter when they're in office. We already know both options are fail.

So much fail that the US is one of the most prosperous countries in the world, right?

Sadly, this is most likely true.

Just because we're doing better than everyone else isn't a reason to accept outright stupidity.

[SlowwHand]

Which is why we need to reject Obama.

A billionaire running for president decided to give a substantial percentage of his income to charity? And gave a larger percentage than someone only making hundreds of thousands?

I apologize for not knowing his exact net worth. Thank you for that very insightful comment.

I'm sure when he's not torturing family pets, endulging in homophobic bullying, enriching himself by sending Americans jobs overseas and trying to leave millions of poor people to suffer in poverty that Mr Romneys actually a lovely man.
