Apparently part II of “How to get the Fed out of your life – GOP style will be delayed a bit longer than anticipated (love you, Mom..hee hee!), so without further ado, here are some more choice odds and ends from across the U.S. political spectrum for you:

A banner behind Mitt Romney during his speech in Tampa, Florida read:

OBAMA ISN’T WORKING

Excuse us, but the President of the United States works 24/7/365. Only your hair is grey for no apparent reason, Mr “I like to fire people” Romney. it’s YOU who hasn’t had a real job for over a decade, remember? You know, it’s not that Mr. Romney is wealthy that’s an issue.  It’s that he’s lying when he says his experience with Bain Capital qualifies him as a “job creator”.   A venture capitalist, such as Mr. Romney was,  doesn’t create jobs, they maximize the return on an investment.  It’s what they do.  Similar to flipping houses, it’s a racket, super heavyweight style.  Nevertheless, Mr. Romney’s self proclaimed  skills as a job creator (100K or so jobs over a decade with Bain Capital…YAWN) hardly inspire much confidence.  That’s only 10K or so a year, less than 1K a month.  Over a 10 year period.. Not a great selling point, if you ask us.
