Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: yes

Of course, Mitt Romney would be a better president. 1) He loves America and the Judeo-Christian ideals on which it was founded.2)He has real world experience in running businesses, states, the Olympics. He understands economics at a time when our country needs a stready hand and an experienced leader at the helm.3)He is a positive and decent role model who believes the best days of our country are still ahead. He would not be leading an apology tour throughout Europe and elsewhere dragging us down and demoralizing us.4)He can speak without the assistance of a teleprompter.5)He believes in free market principles, individual rights and understands that the American people should be in charge not the government.6) He's not only perceived as competent, he IS competent.I could go on..... http://thecompetentconservative.com/2009/07/24/health-law-costs-are-not-the-problem-in- ma/
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: No

1. Obama loves America as well, and I'm not sure that merely loving your country makes someone competent as a leader. In addition, America was founded on Enlightenment ideals. Most of our founding fathers weren't really Christian. (Thomas Jefferson actually went through the bible and cut out the passages he didn't like. His final edit is still sitting in Congress today.)2. Running a nation is not like running a business, and I doubt that Romney would have passed the necessary legislation to stimulate the economy (Free market ideals would dictate that he allow the economy to self correct).3. Seeing millions of people cheer for an American president is the last thing I'd describe as demoralizing. In addition, Obama wasn't apologizing to anyone. I guess it must be weird hearing people cheering something other than Bush sucks, after our past 8 years. I find it funny though that you think that an improved opinion of us overseas is somehow a negative.4. Relevance?5. Does he understand that government regulation is often necessary to control the boom and bust cycles that a purely free market economy causes? Does he want to avoid economic policies that would lead us towards another depression....oops too late, that already happened.6. Not competent enough to run a successful political campaign.
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: yes

Romney actually would have executive experience as opposed to experiance in organizing communities.
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: No

What makes you think that organizing communities is useless experience in terms of being president? The ability to lead and organize people around a common movement is a great trait in a president.
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: yes

Because the experience necessary to run, and more importantly lead, the most complex enterprise in the history of mankind in no way compares to getting Meals on Wheels up and running in the local neighborhood.
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: No

Pssh, by 2012 Obama will have four years of experience as President of the United States.Romney can't beat that.
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: yes

So did Jimmy Carter and it didn't help him at all. In fact it was his experience as President that got him fired.
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: No

Fired from what? ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: yes

That is 3 years from now and this country cannot afford to have a rookie on the job.
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: No

Dude, the elections are over. It's not like we could "swap out" the President even if we wanted to.
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: No

The "rookie" has done a damn good job so far. Bush had tons of executive experience and yet when he was president the entire world hated us. Obama on the other hand has put America back into a place of admiration in the hearts of people throughout the world.In addition he has already pulled out a number of troops from Iraq, leaving only those who are training the Iraqi forces.Not to mention he has done all this during our worst financial crisis since the great depression (which happened under a president with lots of executive experience).So explain to me why we can't afford a "rookie"? We seem to be doing pretty good now.
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: No

They already have a rookie on the job now. Mitt Romney has more of the right kind of experience than almost anyone we've ever had. He is also extremely intelligent. He was valedictorian at BYU, then went on to take a business and law degree simultaneously finishing Baker scholar and cum laude. This guy is simply amazing.
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: No

Well, if we are going by education, then we have to bring up the fact that Obama went to Columbia, and Harvard Law School. In addition he was president of the Harvard Law Review. I have nothing against BYU, but Columbia and Harvard are some of the best schools in the nation (and, especially for Harvard, the world).
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: No

And Mitt Romney has what type of experience being president over this past 6 months? ZERO!
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: yes

In four years he will had 208 golf games and still not made a decent decision.
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: yes

In April 2010 Obama had already surpassed George W's number of golf outings. As of June 2011 Obama has golfed 75 times as president. http://www.whitehousedossier.com/2011/06/26/obama-golfs-time-weekend/
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: yes

Mitt will stomp all over Obama in the debates and will be one of the greatest Presidents this country has ever known.
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: No

Then why didn't he do that when he had the chance? He stepped down from the precipice. Perhaps the height was too much for him.
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: yes

He stepped down so that McCain would have a better chance at winning. Not because it was "too much for him".
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: No

Let's be real here jake. He stepped down because he did poorly in the primaries (I think even Huckabee did better). Whether McCain would have a better chance at winning had very little to do with it.
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: yes

Romney stepped down because he did the math and could not win. He was and is a realist, one of the few in politics. Romney, and many Republicans, actually knew McCain would lose.
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: No

Yeah, that was a great call btw. Maybe when he's President, and we're going to war with Iran, he'll step down, and let France go to war with them instead.
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: yes

Yes of course Romney would. It is now painfully obvious that Obama lacks any real world leadership or management skills. He is an ideological driven academic elitist that has not had a legitimate job in his life. His fortunes have risen by good looks, charm and the ability to speak well. All necessary skills for the best leaders but such cannot be the substitute for hard experience solving demanding, complex problems. Its like eating frosting with no cake, tasty for second of two but one grows quickly tired and sick of it.On the contrary, Romney spent a long private career solving exactly those kind of problems. He knows success and failure. Name Obama's biggest failure. Can't? Did he not have any? That should tell you loads. Romney lost a Senate race and a Presidential campaign. And I guarantee he saw many failures and mistakes in the private investing world. You know more about a person from failures than successes.The US government is the largest, most complex enterprise in the history of mankind. Romney has accumulated long experience diagnosing and solving such problems. What is needed now more that anything is a leader with experience and skills. Romney has it, Obama doesn't.
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: No

"ideological driven academic elitist that has not had a legitimate job in his life"Well hello, FOX News, glad you could join us. A United States Senator (as well as State Senator) is kind of a - how you say - a legitimate, democratically-elected, will-of-the-people kind of job.Elitist? Elitist???? Come on. If my President is an elitist, well then fine:"Doesn’t elite mean good? Is that not something we’re looking for in a president anymore? … The job you’re applying for — if you get it, and it goes well, they might carve your head into a mountain. If you don’t actually think you are better than us, then what the f--k are you doing? … Not only do I want an elite president, I want someone who is embarrassingly superior to me. I want someone who speaks sixteen languages and sleeps two hours a night hanging upside down in a chamber they themselves designed." -- Jon Stewart
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: yes

But what did he do in the US Senate? Sure he sponsored 121, but only 115 even made it out of their committee. It's one thing to have a job, but it is another to do it well. It is no question that it was his charisma and not his accomplishments, which is really sad when you think about it.
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: No

First of all, that was not the point I was disputing.But if you're looking for one thing: Google for GovernmentIf you're looking for two: the Democratic Republic of the Congo Relief, Security, and Democracy Promotion ActIf you're looking for three: ah, f-ck it, if you can't do your own research, you're not looking to be convinced in the first place.
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: yes

I wasn't asking you to provide evidence... I was already well aware that he did nothing of importance. Though I'll give him a bit of credit for the bills he co-sponsored that gave relief to returning troops and who can argue that his bill to congratulate the White Sox for winning the World Series was not a great piece of legislation? Democratic Republic of the Congo Relief? Great, now he can join Bush in the Africa achievement category...
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: No

In regard to your assertion that you were not asking me for evidence, I humbly ask that you please re-read the first sentence of your post that I originally disputed:"But what did he do in the US Senate?"---------------------------------------
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: yes

It was rhetorical question... I even answered it after I said it.
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: No

Ah, well then please accept my sincere apology, for...I don't know...debating? I didn't realize that rhetorical questions only have the answers you assign to them. It's been noted, tucked into my shirt pocket for quick reference, and I promise not to repeat the mistake.
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: No

I would argue that his success was both his ideas and his charisma, not merely the latter.Being a good speaker is one thing, but it takes more than that (hell, even Hitler was a good speaker). His speeches were not merely specious taglines that would sound good in a highlight, but had depth and dealt with issues seriously.What I was most impressed with is how Obama speaks to the American people as adults. Too often I feel like I'm being condescended to by politicians, and being treated like a child.It's true that he hadn't accomplished a ton due to his lack of experience, but from his ideas his good judgement was clear.At this point, though, the whole experience thing is a moot point. By the time the next election comes around, Obama will have more experience than any other candidate.
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: yes

Thank you and Jon Stewart for making my point! Please show me Obama's chamber he designed and built himself. That's the point..he's never actually done anything. Designing and building requires lots of skill and experience that comes from trying and failing and trying again. People make the constant mistake of assuming that because one looks good and speaks well they have capabilities to lead and manage. They often don't. For those of of us who have spent decades in careers where results matter and if you don't produce you get fired its very easy to spot someone who has never had to. Obama has never been accountable for results...Romney has.Your point that a professional politician qualifies as a legitimate job is so absurd it simply cannot be commented on.
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: No

Please show me Obama's chamber he designed and built himself.Are you serious? Let me let you in on a little secret. Ready................... . . .. . ...... . .. .. .. . . .. . .It doesn't exist. It was a joke. It was kind of meant to show - in a roundabout way (us kids like to call it "humor" and sometimes "sarcasm") - that he was an honors graduate of Harvard, president of the Harvard Law Review, a constitutional law professor, and a political wunderkind, and, therefore, well, kind of an elitist. And that's not a bad thing, nor should it be. But it was funnier, I think, when I didn't have to explain it....a professional politician qualifies as a legitimate job is so absurd it simply cannot be commented on...Sorry, but that's weak, disingenuous, and oddly enough, self-contradictory. You don't get to simply dismiss something without supplying something to back up your opinion, even if its another opinion. Not to mention, your original point seemed to be that Pres Obama wasn't a politician for long enough. So, just to clear things up, what's your point? That he didn't have enough experience, or that he's a professional politician, because I certainly didn't say that he was a professional politician.For those of of us who have spent decades in careers where results matterLastly, since you brought it up, would you mind if I asked how old you are and what you've done for a living for decades?
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: yes

I got the joke and you missed the point. I actually watch the Daily Show often. I will make it blunt so even you kids can get it. Obama has never accomplished anything that has quantifiable measurements in in his life. He looks good and talks well...with a teleprompter...that's it. There's nothing wrong with academic elitists. We actually need them. Except when they pretend to be chief executives and then they create horrible messes, which we are witnessing in real time with Obama.The obvious answer is that if you believe that the job of a professional politician is somehow analogous or compares to say, the what Jack Welch did at GE...well there's nothing we have to talk about on such a subject.I am 49 and have worked in the custom aviation business since 1985. That's called a real job and career to all you kids. Where if you don't produce quantifiable results you get fired...or worse people get killed.
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: No

So, to get this straight, had Pres Obama "worked in the custom aviation business" rather than work as a constitutional law professor, community organizer, state and US senator, you would find him more capable of being POTUS?Just wanted to make sure I got that right.
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: yes

Absolutely, although my particular industry is not the point. Had he done anything in his life that required him to produce genuine, quantifiable results I would have found him more capable of being POTUS. Which is why Romney is much more appealing. His results in non-political areas are clear and measurable. Obama for 48 years of living has produced nothing of genuine substance that can be measured against objective standards. Nothing.
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: No

Well then, my friend, by my (...debatably) marginally valued opinion, you're mental. An aircraft career is simply no substitute for a first-hand experience of our legislative system, on-the-ground work with the American populace, and a scholarly knowledge of our founding documents. ...But you have an opinion, nonetheless, and I respect that. cheers.
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: yes

And my friend, you once again, miss my point. But I do admire your consistency. Hard, difficult, real world experience of difficult decisions with consequences to those choices is absolutely mandatory for success in any leadership endeavor. If you don't have it, you fail. Obama has not acquired that experience in his life. Political experience is like frosting, it makes the cake better but its not the cake. A couple of spoonfuls of frosting and one grows quickly tired of it. Which is what is happening with Obama. If he can't produce real measurable results he's finished.
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: No

He is an ideological driven...You're either ignorant or a liar. Obama has been very centrist. Look at Iraq and Afghanistan or his management of the economy.not had a legitimate jobHe was a professor of constitutional law for twelve years. Is that not a legitimate job?You know more about a person from failures than successes.This is an illogical statement.What is needed now more that anything is a leader with experience and skills.Exactly, which is why when 2012 roles around, Obama will be the ideal candidate. What experience could better prepare you for the presidency than actually being President for four years?
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: yes

He is an ideological driven...I will certainly give him credit for not closing Guantanamo and following the Bush policies in Iraq and Afghanistan. He is also following the Bush policies of massive deficit spending on a staggering scale. Ideologues adhere to arguments that are contradicted by reality. Obama's initiatives with cap and trade, health care and all the bail outs clearly show he is ideologically driven in his policies and choices. Realist's would never pose or support such nonsense.not had a legitimate job...I do not consider jobs where one is not held accountable for results to be legitimate. No better example on planet earth could be found than a university professor. What is needed now more that anything is a leader with experience and skills...So how bankrupt will this nation be while Obama figures how to lead? And by the way, if you're 48 years old and haven't figured it out, it ain't happening....
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: yes

Sorry, I just could not resist..."...He is an ideological driven...You're either ignorant or a liar. Obama has been very centrist. Look at Iraq and Afghanistan or his management of the economy."PULLEAZE!!!!!! This in itself proves he is anything but centrist. Nationalizing industry, banks, newspapers....not exactly centrist now is it. Sounds like LEFT…WAY LEFT to me. Chavez type stuff."...not had a legitimate jobHe was a professor of constitutional law for twelve years. Is that not a legitimate job?"Glad you asked! No! Any working man can tell you that anyone that has made their living as a professor has NEVER worked a day in his career! Shoving your opinions down the throat of young people, who dare not argue at the risk of being given a failing grade for disagreeing, cannot be called work. “Indoctrinate U” "....you know more about a person from failures than successes.This is an illogical statement."To a degree I agree....it’s actually seeing how people react to failure that exposes their character. "....What is needed now more that anything is a leader with experience and skills.Exactly, which is why when 2012 roles around, Obama will be the ideal candidate. What experience could better prepare you for the presidency than actually being President for four years?"Does this mean Obama did not qualify for his first term? Of course not!Maybe we should ask Nixon! The first four years he spent in the WH did not seem to help him! Hell, he had a few as VP as well!There is NO job in the world that TRULY prepares a person to be the leader of the greatest and most powerful nation on the face of the planet. As our founding fathers showed through example, an upbringing that includes a deep respect and admiration of the character and values of Judeo –Christian principles is the only way to raise men capable of leading others to freedom. Easy all you Atheists out there! I did not say religion, I said PRINCIPLES.
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: yes

You said it best. Romney is a failure. Like George Bush was a failure. How did he end up in Boston, by the way? Isn't he from Michigan, where unemployment is at 17%? And can you really, really, with a straight face, say the Obama has no world leadership or management skills????? Even after 6 months, he has kept us from falling into Bush's depression hole. He has insured 11 million children!. He is by far the only choice for those citizens of the USA who care about others as much as themselves. I am so glad Obama is President.
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: yes

Three Trillion dollars better. Or is it more than that amount? I lost count.But seriously ppl, ya. Think about it. He actually has real business experience. And also his brain is not drug addled. Have you noticed how halting Obamas speech is? Looong pause.

Any president that understands the ideas of Free Enterprise will do better than any one who does not. Free Enterprise built this country to the point where we can be very generous. NOT Scocial Justice.
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: yes

Hell ya! Obama hasn't done anything good for this country yet people still worship him! Why is this? I assure you with complete and total certainty it's because he is black. No matter what anyone says the truth is Obama is black and since we don't want to seem like a racist country and boo our first black president, we let him get away with all sorts of bull shit that we wouldn't allow anyone who was white to get away with. That and the fact that almost all colleges teach liberal eticit and even now they are spreading the liberal mindset in public schools too I am starting to observe! When will this madness end?!
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: yes

Wow it look's like I'm not the only Romney supporter on this site. This surprises me!
Debate: Would Mitt Romney be a better president than Barrack Obama.
Side: yes

Romney does have real world business experience, while Obama only knows politics. They are both arrogant, but Obama speaks in a very vague and comforting way that people like. So I think people like Obama more from his personality and stage presence, although Romney might be better at doing the job.
