No Business.

Editor,

Republicans like Mitt Romney harp and harp on their coordinated lie that President Obama has "failed."

The truth is that Republican idiots in the House and the Senate have failed this president and failed the American people by having thwarted every constructive move he has tried to make to repair the disasters the Bush administration left in its wake.

It is true that progressives are disappointed that Obama surrounded himself with Wall Street insiders and seems not to have learned that "bipartisanship" is impossible with rabid ideologues.

Be all that as it may, Mitt Romney basing his campaign on the lie that President Obama has "failed" demonstrates just how manipulative of a phony this man is.

Similarly his prattling about corporations being people. A corporation is an abstraction, Mitt. It is a legal construct. Like a prison. Is a prison a person, Mitt, because it is people that are brutalized behind its walls by thugs hired by capitalists like you?

Barack Obama talks a good game and executes terribly. But he believes his empty platitudes like "now is the time" and "no red states and no blue states."

Mitt Romney doesn't believe the president has "failed," and he doesn't believe that corporations are people. He thinks he can manipulate the public with misrepresentations like these and is therefore precisely the kind of person who has no business going anywhere near the White House.
