Romney: Obama administration invests in ‘losers’
Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney said President Barack Obama’s policies have not helped America’s economy grow compared to countries like China because his administration invests in “losers” and wants more “stimulus” spending.
“China’s growing much faster than we, Russia’s growing much faster than we. Our economy needs to be reinvigorated and the president has laid out his plan. It’s a continuation of the old plan. We can’t afford four more years of the last four years, all right? His plan cuts the military. His plan asks for another stimulus. How’d that last one work, by the way?” Romney asked during a campaign event in Springfield, Va. on Thursday.
“His plan calls for the government being able to invest in winners and losers, or in their case, losers, and his plan also calls for trillion dollar deficits… that debt is owned by somebody. Someone holds that. That puts America in a position of economic risk, fiscal risk.”
In the past, Romney has been critical of the Obama administration’s decision to provide $535 million in loan guarantees to the solar power company Solyndra, which went bankrupt in 2011.
Romney, who vowed not to cut the size of the military in his speech, said the U.S. economy is growing at a rate of 1.3 percent, which is “about a quarter of the rate of Russia’s.” He said voters have a choice between two “very different paths” for the country.
“One is the path the president’s proposed, which is the status quo. His is the path, well, he calls it forward. I call it forewarned,” Romney said.

Well, he’s at it again. Solyndra wasn’t a big enough loser I guess. Another solar mfg in Oregon this time. Same products, same mfg systems — Solyndra II. They’ve got to be kidding.

Has Barry picked a winner yet?
Has he?
If so, who? Solyndra? Obamacare? Stimulus? Muslim Brotherhood? Moochel the school diet czar?
Yeah, all losers.

“His is the path, well, he calls it forward. I call it forewarned,” Romney said.
That’s kinda catchy. I like it, even if “forewarned” is redundant.

Albert Einstein’s definition of insanity seems to fit. Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
God help us all

For a guy who makes so many “gaffes”, Romney sure speaks a lot of truths.

I’ll vote for an empty orange juice can instead of Obama. Mitt will not destroy a country he loves. Nobama 2012.

C’mon, Mittens; it’s NOT an “investment” if there’s NO expectation of return.
It’s corruption, ya dummy … you’ll get your chance come January.
