Election 2012

Your Republican Pretty Boy Frontrunner

Mitt Romney is widely considered to be the GOP frontrunner for the 2012 nomination. Why? Because he has a very serious haircut and, mainly, he's good with economic stuffs.

Keep that last thing in your head as you continue reading. Here's Romney at an event in New Hampshire on Saturday:

"I like President Obama," Mr. Romney said, "but he doesn't have a clue how jobs are created."

Errrm, he doesn't? Here's what happened the day before Romney delivered this message:

These remarks come one day after we learned the economy created 222,000 private-sector jobs last month -- the second-highest total in five years -- and the unemployment rate finally dipped below 9%, reaching its lowest level in two years. All told, the private sector has added 1.5 million workers in the past year, while the unemployment rate has dropped from 9.8% to 8.9% in just three months -- the sharpest improvement in nearly two decades.

And Romney is supposed to be their economic pretty boy? That's rich.
