Interesting...

It's okay to be critical of the President's jobs numbers throughout his tenure, but it's not okay to critisize Romney for the entirety on his tenure while governor of Massachusettes?

Give me a break!

Axelrod assails Romney camp for ‘hypocrisy’ in attacks over jobs

The Romney campaign has consistently hit the president for net job losses incurred since he took office in January of 2009, including in an email sent to reporters on Monday citing a Bureau of Labor Statistics report that shows the country has lost 572,000 jobs under the Obama administration.Those numbers include job losses from Obama’s early days in office, when the economy was hemorrhaging hundreds of thousands of jobs a month. The Obama campaign argues that now that the president’s policies have had time to take effect, the economy has logged 27 straight months of job growth.
But while the Romney campaign has held Obama responsible for job losses using the full-term metric, some Romney surrogates have argued that Romney’s record on job creation as governor of Massachusetts, which the Obama campaign has assailed as the 47th worst in the country, should only take into account the final years of his administration, when his policies had time to come into effect.

Ah the beautiful world of politics...

Obama Camp: "Obama's entire term shouldn't be looked at, just the last year or two. However all of Romney's should be looked at."

Obama Camp: "HYPOCRITE!"

Romney Camp: "HYPOCRITE!"

Me: ...*sigh*
 
Romney doesn't need to be hypocritical... He had positive job growth in each year in office, growing by 20K jobs in each year (one of only 2 states to do so), and he took MA from 50th in job growth when he entered office to 36th when he left office... In that time he dropped the unemployment rate from 5.6 to 4.7%... In all, he had a net positive job growth of 87,000...

Obama on the hand... we all know that story all too well... "We wont have unemployment below 8% if you approve the ARRA"...

Spot on.

Anyone that only see's a double standard on one side is generally blind due to a self inflicted mental issue.
 
Romney just needs to show up and smile. He's so vastly superior to Obama in every way, it's not even debatable, and I'm not even that big of fan of Romney.

It's like replacing a 1-8 quarterback with a proven veteran. At least Romney understands the argument; Obama is in the dark on everything. Clueless.
