debt and dumping them. these companies have no higher default rates and starting negative not only distracts you, but also damages his personal reputation. e.j.? first of all, when george bush began his 2004 campaign against john kerry he began the attacks in february and march, so i don t see i didn t see any republicans saying the president should never attack his opponents and secondly the argument over bain is part of the substantive argument over the future of american capitalism. first, it s romney from the beginning was saying his role as a job creator at bain was the key reason why he should be president. thanks to this exchange even rush limbaugh has said no, private equity companies are not about creating jobs, but if you go back in the history it s one of the things we talk about about in my book, we argue about the nature of capitalism from the very beginning whether it s hamilton and clay arguing about

things. people are overwhelmingly nice even if they don t agree with you and money matters. those are her two lessons. would you like to be selected to be on the ticket with romney? i think that s highly implausible. i find that as implausible as you find it. are you likely to run in 2016 and are you waiting to see what biden and/or secretary clinton do? i m not thinking that far. i m doing everything in my power to help governors like tom barrett in wisconsin where the polls have greatly narrowed in wisconsin. it s an interesting choice. tom barrett has been a mayor and done practical things and brought people together to solve problems, versus scott warner, 50 state have had job creation and the only active governor with a criminal defense fund. another side to that story which we ll talk about at the roundtable as well. i ll leave it there.
back from the disastrous aftereffects from the bush recession and the bush job losses and the deficit, 55% of which was caused by policies, tax cuts that benefited the wealthiest of americans rather than investing in a better future and a better economy with greater opportunities that our kids deserved. at this stage in 1984, no one on the reagan team was talking about the carter recession because they were talking about the reagan recovery. they were talking about the job creation under reagan. they were talking about the success of reagan. this is an administration that went from yes, we can to why we couldn t. the fact that this president s been president for three and a half years, he had a chance to fix it. it ain t fixed and the country knows it s not fixed on gasoline, it s not fixed on the economy and it s not fixed on the deficit and romney has a better shot at doing a better job than barack obama. i have two questions, one for you, speaker and governor romney.
have that state ranked 47th out of 50 in job creation. the unemployment rate in massachusetts came down under his stewardship. the unemployment rate came down under different times and it could be driven down further, with more job creation if we would get beyond this sort of tea party destruction that anyone would try to prevent modern investments. what is the warning, though, from the president s campaign and surrogates about what romney policy would mean for job creation? on a national level? what is the warning? i think what you see and i think part of the armchair critics are missing is what with romney did, mr. romney, not governor romney, what he did at bain capital was to drive up debt by the companies that bain took over in order to return huge dividends
