Question: Vice President Joe Biden has said that just because you work at Bain Capital no more qualifies you to be president versus being a plumber.  What do you make of that quote? 



Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY): Well, I think it's not a very intelligent quote.  What I would say is I do want someone whose good at managing business that have been in failure and turning them around.  Right now I consider government to be a failed business and so I think Governor Romney would be precisely the person I would want to turn around a failing business like our government which wastes -- you know, we spend a $100 billion a year that we can't even account for, our agencies are throwing good money after bad.  I think someone who has been a business man who has turned around businesses would be precisely the one you would want to turn around the country.
