How can you still be missing the point? Their accomplishments in the private sector do not conclusively demonstrate that either one has more or less of an understanding of economics than the other one.

Exactly. Even Bill Gates has made ignorant remarks about economics. ("You can't eat GDP.") Economics isn't like hitting a baseball, knowledge isn't gained experientially.

How can you completely miss my point? Romney is a doer. He was successful precisely because he understands the economy. What makes you think Obama even has a clue?

Please put down the Obama crack pipe for a second and think logically.

What experience does Obama have in economics? Has this man ever been in a leadership position within a corporation, much less a major hitter of a corporation?

Do you honest to pete think that "reading a book about economics" is going to give you some form of real world knowledge of the subject?

Your argument is weak at best and completely ridiculous at worst, when you imply that Obama might have the same type experience as Romney in economics.

I know you think Savior Obama is going to save the universe, but to argue economics with him vs. Romney is silly.
