The question is moot because there isn’t going to be a President Romney. The American people are working hard with their president, Barack Obama, to overcome the problems created by the Republicans 2001-2009.
Most of these problems were created by the incompetence and recklessness of the Bush-Cheney administration, especially the recession and the two wars. 9/11 also happened under Bush. Obama is doing his best to get us out of the Bush mess.
Next question?
Mitt Romney has just about disappeared from national politics since he dropped out of the race to be the GOP’s nominee back in 2008. I think Senator Jud Gregg (R) from New Hampshire is looking more and more like a national leader who could run, or perhaps the Mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg. If you want a dark horse, then Sheila Bair who heads the FDIC would be the person to put your money on for a GOP nomination sometime in the future. Or it could be this kid Rubio from Florida who, like Obama, looks like he could go from State Senator to US Senator to US President very, very quickly.
Here’s part of the reason why there has been and will continue to be a slow transition from recession to economic expansion and job growth in America. And I quote from an AP article buried on Page A8 of this morning’s Boston Globe, which is entitled “Obama’s Foreclosure Relief Program Called A Failure.”
“President Obama’s plan to fix the foreclosure crisis has been a dud, putting the housing market at risk predicted Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Economy.com … Almost a year later, it appears about 750,000 homeowners — a fraction of the 3 million to 4 million projected — might complete the application process. The more borrowers who can’t be helped, the more foreclosed properties will flood the market. And that means the nation’s housing market, which appeared to recover last summer, could soon take another turn for the worse. Home prices are down 30 percent nationally from the peak in mid-2006, and there is mounting evidence they will fall again over the winter as low-priced foreclosures make up a larger proportion of sales.”
‘It’s a very serious threat to the housing market, and still one of the most significant risks to the broader recovery,’ Zandi said.”
When President Obama arrives in Massachusetts to save Martha Coakley’s (D) election bid, Scott Brown (R) should ask him the following questions.
1. How many private sector jobs has President Obama saved or created in Massachusetts, and what type, e.g. a good high tech jobs with benefits or low skilled jobs with no benefits, and at what cost to the Massachusetts taxpayer?
2. How does the proposed health care reform bill, so-called, which raises Medicaid payroll taxes and creates new and/or increases existing state and federal taxes for 10 years while providing health reform benefits for only 6 years and how does this bill promote private sector economic expansion and job creation in America right now? If more tax revenue is required, which is a scenario I’m sure you have contemplated, what is your plan for raising taxes to provide the additional revenue required?
3. When the initial 10 year term of health care reform expires in 2020, how will the bill for health care reform be paid? Fewer benefits or more taxes? Or will there be another 4 year hiatus before spending resumes because the program cannot pay for itself on a pay as you go basis?
4. How can you justify giving the private health insurance industry an anti-trust exemption when the per capita cost of health care insurance in America is twice that of its peers and achieves less than half of the health outcomes achieved by our peers?
5. I read with interest your plan to impose a $90 to $120 billion bank tax, which you call a TARP repayment responsibility fee or something like that. Putting aside the fact that this is a fee to pay back the unpaid TARP debts of AIG, GM, and Chrysler, among others, what is the economic impact that this fee will have on bank customers and bank lending? Is the fee intended to act as a catalyst for economic expansion and job creation in America right now? If not, why not?
These questions are far more relevant than the one you have posted. Even if Scott Brown loses Tuesday’s Senate race because people like you are at home sitting on your *ss fantasizing about the outcome of the 2012 presidential race, or maybe especially if he loses on Tuesday, honest answers to these five questions will be even harder to come by. Which means that the length of time before Americans can enjoy again a vibrant economy that is creating good private sector jobs and new private sector economic opportunities will take even longer with Martha Coakley and President Obama on the job.
America would be better off with Inspector Clouseau if you want my honest opinion.
And, as a bonus, here are two follow up questions for Obama-Coakley.
1. Are either of you planning to create a Resolution Authority to resolve the State of California’s impending insolvency, which is likely to occur in June, five months from now, at the end of its current fiscal year? Why or why not?
2. What will you do to alleviate NYC’s cash crisis, which is likely to occur in March just two months from now? And do you believe that the $90 to $120 billion bank tax will make it more or less likely that NYC will struggle with its municipal finances in 2010 and beyond?
See you on
I wouldn’t mind a President Romney but the fundies wouldn’t allow a Mormon to be anywhere near the top of the GOP.
I like the selective reasoning, it gives me a chuckle.
Probably it will take him a few years depending on how much is totally screwed up by Obama. Romney would have to take out an awful lot of trash and corruption first. Just like Regan did. What a mess!
Hopefully he will never get a chance. We can see the health care disaster that he left behind in MA. That alone should disqualify him as the Republican candidate.

Nostradamus claimed that it will never happen, even though Romney will give it a good effort.
if you think America will elect a mormon president I have a bridge I want to sell you
I’m no Romney supporter, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Obama’s got to go!
Romney?
ROFLMAO
Romney? Are you serious. Name one good thing Romney would do.
Romney? ROMNEY? He looks way too much like a smarmy snake-oil salesman..
It depends on what happens on Tuesday and in November.
Mitts pretty good, I would say he could have all this crap repealed in short order.
I don’t think the average human being is in REM sleep that long during the night, so not long.
No way would I vote for the man who brought us pre-Obamacare in Mass as my president.
It’s pretty screwed up… so it could take a while…
However the mending will commence in NOVEMBER.
he’s going to be president of his own ant farm
2016! IF a Repub is lucky enough to ever be elected again. lol
Two…maybe three terms!!
I wish the bible belt could get over that Mormon issue…..Mitt is super!
YOU MEAN LIKE HE FIXED HEALTH CARE IN HIS HOME STATE ?
