When Mitt Romney says that he can fix the economy because he's a businessman...

That's like some guy who says that he can raise cattle because he knows all about bullshit.

His wonderful skill at making lots of money and hiding it in off-shore tax shelters doesn't equate with running America's economy at all. I'm wondering when someone will tell him that to his face.

He thinks you don't know what's best for you, so he has no problem lying to you to get you to put him in power.
