Remember how he toted his private sector record and said he'd run the country like a business? And remember how Obama used the threat of another Bush regime as a weapon against McCain?

Obama doesn't need a new election strategy -- all he has to do is dust off the old one!

and campaigned that they would run the country like a business were Bush the Lesser and Hoover.

How did that work for us?

Within his first breakfast in the White House, he will find he bit off more than he could chew, and as he is choking, he will clamor for advice, in other words, for people to take the real reins while he looks good. This is the same game that worked so well for W. and his master, Cheney.

Just a slippery, thieving, scumbag with a smug sense of privileged entitlement. Anything he can get away with by hook or by crook is fair and just as far as he's concerned. Things like patriotism and the rule of law are for the peasants.

so much money you have no idea where it is and couldn't be bothered to keep track of it.

Go for it, Mitt. It's a winning strategy for ya, I'm sure!

it seems to me that if the people that were running the businesses in this country had done really good jobs in the past 30 years, we would not be in the economic mess in which we find ourselves.

This is a reliable "tell" for lying. It is believed to stem from the subconscious urge to hide your face from the scrutiny of your audience.
