Problem with our economy

No. He does not. You are very unfairly misrepresenting his position.

Obama does say that yes, government stimulus does create jobs, and it did, during the great depression and during the great recession.

But Obama knows that economic strength comes from a middle class with jobs and a dollar to spend on houses, etc. That's what he says. That's what he has done, and what he supports.

Obama is fighting the massive transfer of American money to the wealthy that has occurred over the past 50 years and eliminated the middle class - he is fighting to restore that.

Romney represents the definition and acme example of how to transfer money to the wealthy.

while Romney believes the private sector creates jobs and runs the economy.

Romney's experience as a "businessman' is solely as an investor purchasing companies, mortgaging and leveraging every asset he can into cash, taking that cash out of the business as his own profit, then leaving the business to survive or die with that debt once he was gone.

Romney was very successful doing that, and it made him wealthy.

But that doesn't take ethics or morals to do what Romney did - in fact, it takes a coldness of heart.

And what Romney did is most certainly neither creating any business, nor growing any business, nor providing any strength in the economy, nor creating jobs - thus the skill set of a vulture capitalist to running a government is ????

But considering that the Republican method of governing is to privatize to profitize every taxpayer dollar they can get their hands on:

- public lands used cheaply for private grazing, drilling, mining
- defense needs privatized for contractors through and through

Using Romney and Ryan to privatize to profitize the last remaining taxpayer dollars that exist in this country:

- by increasing the defense budget to serve private business contractors (make money) although the wars are over;
- by privatizing to profitize Social Security and Medicare
- by overturning Obamacare so insurance companies can once again kick off people and make record profits;
- by privatizing to profitize our public education system funds ...

... seems like the vulture capitalist Romney, a man of a coldness and willingness to "take what he wants" for profit - is exactly the perfect man for the Republican party to own in the Presidency.

Romney and Ryan are the perfect privatize the government to profitize guys.

And you help them, and vote for them, and believe in them, because Reagan and others convinced you "government is the problem, not the solution".

The question: Is Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Obama better at creating jobs than say Sam Walton, Bill Gates and Romney?

No. That's not the question. And I suggest you look very closely at the WalMart and Apple "job creation" record, and how well their employees live on those "jobs".
