Cites Poor Economy As Reason He Should Be President
Barack Obama
Republican presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, has been poking holes
in President Obama's job creation record. He is using the bad economy as
his platform to become the next President of the United States. The
former Massachusetts Governor and wealthy businessman, said to be worth
in excess of $250,000,000, has assailed Obama's inability to pull the
U.S. economy out of the ongoing financial crisis, initiated by former
president, George W. Bush.

While in North Carolina, Romney stated of Obama's economic record,
"What you won’t hear at that convention is that for the last 38 months,
unemployment has been above 8 percent, that we’ve had 24 million
Americans that are out of work, stopped looking for work, or
underemployed. You won’t hear that, since he gave that speech and became
president, that there have been 50,000 more job losses here in North
Carolina, more than twice as many as would fit in that stadium (Bank of
America stadium)." President Obama has not yet responded to Romney's
claims.
