If all we want is someone experienced with making money for President like Romney, why not have someone better?

Aren't there much richer and much more successfull businessmen who would like to be Pres?

    Possibly Warren Buffett ? lol.... But in reality, none of the incredibly wealthy, want the job... Its far easer, & actually cheaper for them, just to buy their Congressmen, & Senators... Or In Romney's case, the President...

    Mitt Romney has been living off what’s called a “blind trust.” He does this so that he can’t be blamed for where his money is going. The guy doesn’t even know how he’s making his money. He has others do it for him.

    Remember, you have to pick someone from the Republican party....make picking "someone better" a pretty difficult job.

    Good point!

    Tiger Woods made about 3X as much money as Romney. Is he 3X as qualified as Romney?

    Oprah Winfrey made about 5X as much money as Romney. Is she 5X as qualified as Romney?

    George Steinbrenner made about 7X as much money as Romney. Is he 7X as qualified as Romney?

    George Soros made about about 11X as much money as Romney. Is he 11X as qualified as Romney?
