Wanna take a gander at a group that better luv "firing people?" Take a look at the socialist governments in Europe that have to apply "Austerity measures" to survive. We are talkin firing lots, and lots of govt union workers as a big part of that austerity measures. Take a look at California that Jerry Brown, the liberal governor just presented a 7% increase in this year's budget saying the good folks of California are "compassionate" and want to help those in need. They are only $26 Billion in debt, and Brown proposes a 7% increase in govt spending? California's socialists are going under just like countries in Europe are going under. They don't seem to be able to "fire people." Look for a lot of govt pension plans, union plans especially to go under this year because the liberal govts in blue states "don't understand they need to "fire people."

Down with bossy people, boo hiss.
Firing people is really mean, Romney probably needs to be re-educated or something.
Not only will the media go and find people that were fired by Romney, they will seek out friends, neighbors and distant relatives of said victims. Randy Johnson of Marion, Indiana is a good example of Romney's victimization, as long as you are willing to eliminate the facts you can really feel sorry for Randy-boy. It's all fair game, we need to make sure all these guys are pure and clean as the wind driven snow. But when the media lets Obama slide on his obviously concealed past, they get jobs in his administration. All is fine when the media writes the rules and sanitizes the news. I'm comforted by the fact that they still consider themselves 'objective' wink wink.

phlzor..Don't think so this go round. It will not be easy sleddin for the Obominator this go round. Conservatives are motivated, and will not have a John McCain they really didn't care for as the nominee, saying he doesn't want to attack Obama. Especially if Newt is the nominee. This is a issue related campaing, and Obama will have a hard time not defending what he has done, and just attacking, character assassinating. And, he has a lot of issues about himself to answer this go round.

Why capitalism works, and socialism as a governance always goes bankrupt. And why recessions have a healthy, cleansing side to them. Inefficiency is weeded out, and better operations, better run survive, and the economy then grows again. Under this regime?...prolonged pain, much, much longer than it had to be. And debt becomes massive because of it. Crony capitalism is a result, and good operations can not compete because the socialists pick and chose who they want to win...you get Solyndra, and many more like Solyndra.
