If they are defending Romney's layoffs as a by-product of capitalism, then...

How can they successfully pin the unemployment rate on Obama, isn't that just a by-product of free-market capitalism? Sure, they will tout "regulations" but 99% of federal regulations are in place to protect employees and/or consumers. I still haven't actually heard of which so-called regulations are the specific ones even hindering job-growth, especially since the unemployment rate has been declining, which ironically kind of makes everything they say a bunch of hypocritical bullshit.

Which one is it, layoffs a by-product of capitalism, or it's all Obama's fault?! If it's all Obama's fault then why are we seeing 22 straight months of job growth? If layoffs are a by-product of capitalism then how is it Obama's fault?

he's a black guy in the oval office.

Unless they take back the country, they'll be another one there, then a nother, then before you know it, they'll be a Chinese guy or some such non American without a birth certificate sitting in that comfy chair with their boots up on the desk just desecrating the damn thing.



yeah, I've asked that question too, and most times I get the typical antser, which is, "I don't want to talk politics with you".
