Romney would repeal the Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act

Given both Romney and Ryan's opposition to the Fair Pay Act, it's a fairly safe bet they will target this legislation for repeal. In their view, government should not be interfering with business.

The rethugs would love nothing more than to return to the days where women were stuck in their homes raising children and having dinner ready for the man of the house.

All this "on day one" BS is just that. Advocate all you want. Bluster on the stump as you will. A President doesn't simply or unilaterally repeal Congressional legislation. That's in the hands of Congress, iirc. And, like most of the extremist Republican House proposals, repeal of the Fair Pay Act or the Health Care Act wouldn't pass Senate muster.

Stump speech pandering isn't leadership. It's pandering.

And, it seems you've no clue to what the job entails. Your wife complains that folks don't realize how hard it is to campaign. Yeah, most don't. Yet most don't know how hard it is to undertake the responsibility, day-to-day, as POTUS. That includes you.

Just don't think you're ready for the responsible prime time job.
