胡佛? 你知道他在大萧条时的最让人头大的政策么?
1. 增税,高收入者的个税从26%飚到67%。企业税也有增加。
2. 政府花钱搞公共项目,造成严重赤字,还有养了大批吃闲饭的人
这两项,是FDR竞选时攻击他的要点。看看胡佛到底和谁更象?

罗姆尼在几个不同领域的成功的行政经验:

2.在非官方非盈利性机构把几乎破产的冬奥会成功举办下来
3.在民主党势力强大的麻州做共和党州长,双方合作愉快

Bain Capital is expert on outsourcing and laying off. I don't think the
experience is useful if he want to be a good President under current
situation.
I have no idea. Maybe he did do a good job.

Romney wasn't just the head of the Salt Lake Organizing Committee. Romney
was also a registered lobbyist for the organization, Utah state records show.
Romney last worked as a lobbyist on Dec. 31, 2000, according to a spokesman
for the state lieutenant governor, who oversees the registry.
As a lobbyist and president of the Salt Lake Organizing Committee, Romney
didn't just stabilize the balance sheet. He brought in a record $1.3 billion
in federal dollars for Salt Lake City's games and more from Utah. In 1996,
the Atlanta Summer Olympics cost U.S. taxpayers $609 million. The Salt Lake
Tribune wrote in March 2000: "If charming state lawmakers were an Olympic
event, Mitt Romney would be draped in a flag about now, singing the national
anthem."

Here are the top 10 comments about Bain from Romney’s Republican rivals:
1. “The idea that you’ve got private equity companies that come in and
take companies apart so they can make profits and have people lose their
jobs, that’s not what the Republican Party’s about.” — Rick Perry [New
York Times, 1/12/12]
2. “The Bain model is to go in at a very low price, borrow an immense
amount of money, pay Bain an immense amount of money and leave. I’ll let
you decide if that’s really good capitalism. I think that’s exploitation.
” — Newt Gingrich [New York Times, 1/17/12]
3. “Instead of trying to work with them to try to find a way to keep the
jobs and to get them back on their feet, it’s all about how much money can
we make, how quick can we make it, and then get out of town and find the
next carcass to feed upon” — Rick Perry [National Journal, 1/10/12]
4. “We find it pretty hard to justify rich people figuring out clever legal
ways to loot a company, leaving behind 1,700 families without a job.” —
Newt Gingrich [Globe and Mail, 1/9/12]
5. “Now, I have no doubt Mitt Romney was worried about pink slips —
whether he was going to have enough of them to hand out because his company,
Bain Capital, of all the jobs that they killed” — Rick Perry [New York
Times, 1/9/12]
6) “He claims he created 100,000 jobs. The Washington Post, two days ago,
reported in their fact check column that he gets three Pinocchios. Now, a
Pinocchio is what you get from The Post if you’re not telling the truth.”
— Newt Gingrich [1/13/12, NBC News]
7. “There is something inherently wrong when getting rich off failure and
sticking it to someone else is how you do your business, and I happen to
think that’s indefensible” — Rick Perry [National Journal, 1/10/12]
8. “If Governor Romney would like to give back all the money he’s earned
from bankrupting companies and laying off employees over his years, then I
would be glad to then listen to him” — Newt Gingrich [Mediaite, 12/14/11]
9. “If you’re a victim of Bain Capital’s downsizing, it’s the ultimate
insult for Mitt Romney to come to South Carolina and tell you he feels your
pain, because he caused it.” — Rick Perry [New York Times, 1/8/12]
10. “They’re vultures that sitting out there on the tree limb waiting for
the company to get sick and then they swoop in, they eat the carcass. They
leave with that and they leave the skeleton” — Rick Perry [National
Journal, 1/10/12]
Just last night, Newt Gingrich defended his attacks, saying “I think there
are things you can legitimately look at in Bain Capital. I think there are
things you can legitimately look at in anybody’s record, including Mitt
Romney’s record.”

"Fiscal conservatism has its merits. It was what the original Tea Party was
founded to push. Social conservatism on the other hand has no place in a
free society.
Its the social conservatism that has co-opted the tea party that is
weakening the GOP position in congress. It also generated the obstructionist
policies that made the current congress less popular than the American
Communist Party and stopped any possible economic recovery plan the
President put out.
The damage they've done to the country is unknowable. Hopefully, we'll be

No. He worked as a lawyer in 1993, but he first became
a famous "professor" and then a community organizer--
In 1991, Obama accepted a two-year position as Visiting Law and Government
Fellow at the University of Chicago Law School to work on his first book.[44
][45] He then taught at the University of Chicago Law School for twelve
years—as a Lecturer from 1992 to 1996, and as a Senior Lecturer from 1996
to 2004—teaching constitutional law.[46]
From April to October 1992, Obama directed Illinois's Project Vote, a voter
registration campaign with ten staffers and seven hundred volunteer
registrars; it achieved its goal of registering 150,000 of 400,000
unregistered African Americans in the state, leading Crain's Chicago
Business to name Obama to its 1993 list of "40 under Forty" powers to be.

seriously, who's the real "obstructionist"? For most bills
the House passed, the DEM controlled Senate simply rejected
without even bothering to work out a compromise.
ps: the current congress includes the Senate. The previous
House under DEM didn't get a better approval rating, either.
And instead of being a rubber stamp, preventing bitches like
Pelosi doing crazy things is a great achievement in itself.

Americans would like to vote out Obama, but Romney makes it difficult
Sandy may have tipped the balance back in favour of the president days
before the US election

Barack Obama
Barack Obama, whose campaign has a revived momentum. Photograph: Jewel Samad
/AFP/Getty Images
On the BBC a few weeks ago the New York Times pundit David Brooks explained
to his British audience that American voters are "looking for an excuse to
vote against the president". Spot on, I thought. Voters are disappointed in
the promise that Barack Obama represented in 2008, but Mitt Romney has been
making it hard for swing voters to elect him president instead.
Since then it's looked as if next Tuesday's ballot may swing Romney's way
after all. But no. As hurricane Sandy roared up the US eastern seaboard,
fate may have tipped the balance back in Obama's direction by showing him
quietly in charge and reminding folks the government – local, state or
federal – isn't always the enemy of Tea Party fantasy.
Overnight we've also learned that New York's mayor, Michael Bloomberg, the
little guy with the sign language aide at his side, soft-spoken but
reassuring and on top of the detail, is backing Obama and by implication the
benign power of government.
That's quite a big deal, like Boris Johnson endorsing Ed Miliband – don't
hold your breath, Ed – at the 2015 election here. Except that Bloomberg is
an ex-Republican independent, a self-made billionaire who has the gravitas
that Boris lacks, though he generally makes worse jokes.
Hizzoner – as Americans call their big city mayors – is shrewdly political
enough to praise Romney as a "good and decent man" who has done good things
. Alas, "he has reversed course on all of them", including the healthcare
model he created as governor of Massachusetts, the mayor noted in a
statement. But the clincher for Bloomberg is Romney's hostility to climate
change.
This week's devastation "may or may not be" a result, but the risk requires
"immediate action", Bloomberg concludes. That's spot on too. When I mocked
CNN's hysterical buildup to hurricane Sandy here this week I got it partly
wrong. The havoc and death it actually wreaked – as opposed to the spine-
chilling advance publicity – was more severe than I initially grasped, as
we all now know.
But one of my complaints, which remains valid, was the widespread reluctance
of many Americans to concede that manmade climate change may be a crucial
driver of its increasingly turbulent continental weather. The daily US
weather map that most newspapers carry can be extraordinary, a Wagnerian
drama which piles two feet of snow on Idaho on the same day that oranges are
ripening in Florida sunshine. Floods, snow, twisters, droughts; it's never
dull.
Yet it remains an article of faith with many Americans that they can master
nature as they mastered their vast land – chopped down its forests, dammed
its rivers, cultivated its deserts, drilled for its oil, tamed its forest
fires. Herman Melville's classic MobyDick told them otherwise – the sea
always wins – but it's not a message everyone wants to hear. Obama's
strategy has been to let events talk for themselves.
Bloomberg knows it – if you take a look at the storm, be careful, nature is
stronger than us, he warned New Yorkers this week. After all, the great
port city is surrounded by water – Manhattan, Long Island and Staten Island
are just that – and the East and Hudson rivers are close to the vast
Atlantic swell. The Thames Barrier, a mighty undertaking, currently protects
London. It would not be enough to protect New York as water levels rise.
The polarised ideological gridlock of Washington politics, far more severe
than in post-cold-war Europe, exaggerates disagreements and damages politics
threatens the economic recovery, whoever wins on Tuesday. It needn't be that
way. Just look at the courteous way Obama and Chris Christie, admired
Republican governor of New Jersey, have treated each other in this week's
crisis.
None of this plays Romney's way or the way Tea Party types want to see the
world. I hesitate to say it's clinched re-election for the president. When
Romney made his coarse assessment of the Democratic electoral base – the 47
% of people who depend on benefits from the state – in September I
suggested it might – might – be the turning point, ensuring the challenger
's defeat.
So it might have done, but for Obama's strikingly feeble performance in the
first presidential debate. It was precisely the sort of event which – to
quote Brooks – gave wavering voters an excuse to vote him out. If he looked
so disengaged that he didn't seem to want the job, why not let the other
fellow have a go?
After all, he had not lived up to expectations, though in fairness to Obama
a kind reader on Twitter draws my attention to this robust defence of the
president's record by Jonathan Chait in the New York magazine. In the later
debates Obama fought back – and now the hurricane has played to his
strengths.
Does it matter who wins? At the Cambridge Festival of Ideas last weekend I
heard a panel of experts on Asia – one Korean, one Japanese and one Chinese
– saying there is less interest than usual in the contest on their side of
the Pacific. The US focus is tilting towards China (60% of US warships are
now in the Pacific, we were told) but the anti-China rhetoric – formerly
anti-Japanese – over unfair trade is much quieter in 2012.
Whoever wins won't change US policy much (whatever aggressive pledges Romney
is making) seemed to be east Asia's verdict. Well, maybe.
I'd still say it matters quite a lot. Romney may plan to govern from the
centre if he becomes president and Republican forces in Congress and the
country allow him to – as they denied much scope to Obama. But it is
certainly not what he's been saying.
On climate change, denial is dominant. Republicans still want to deport
millions of illegal immigrants, they would cut spending on benefits for
those layabout Democrats – healthcare and stuff – while increasing defence
spending AND cutting taxes for everyone. A constitutional curb on gays
rights, the outlawing of abortion etc etc.
A pre-emptive attack on Iran's nuclear plants, support for more West Bank
settlements, the list is a long one – and scary. What we know from the
record, two Bushes and Ronald Reagan, is that Republicans are better at
cutting taxes, mostly for the rich, than cutting spending the way they
promise to cut it. That's why the US has a crippling debt problem, a more
serious budget imbalance than our own, possible only because of the residual
prestige (for now) of the dollar.
Add all that to the superior organisational power of the Democratic machine
– the Obama team's better grasp of social media as campaign tools that
offset the billionaire bank-rolling of Romney – together with the changing
demographics of the US, and it points me to the same conclusion.
Obama's crowds are much smaller than in 2008, but they're multiracial. That'
s America's future, black, white, Hispanic, Asian. Indeed the insurgency of
the Tea Party, which was forced to settle for Romney (Paul Ryan, a
consolation prize who could prove an error), may be the last hurrah of the
old all-white hegemony.
If they can't beat a disappointing incumbent, they may have to come to terms
with the new realities at home and abroad. Modernisation of the Republican
party is long overdue. Obama to scrape home after all.
