Maybe Hoover.

Romney did not create those jobs at Staples, Sports Authority or Indiana Steel. He was just an early investor in those companies. He was not the entrpreneur who invented those concepts or managed those businesses or drove growth in the business. I have been an early investor in companies and I would never take credit for their success and certainly not claim I created jobs.

And if you are going to give him credit for those jobs then you should subtract the number of jobs that went away from the companies he invested in as well. Take the net job number.

What is wrong with looking at his supposive job record which he himself puts out there for scrutiny?

It is a false equivalency to say this is the same as questioning where Obama was born, especially when an official birth certificate was given. Obama never campaigned on his birth certificate, but Romney is campaigning on his jobs record.

I think you need to understand the difference between venture capital and private equity. Two completely different business models and Bain has always been more of a private equity firm. According to the WSJ 20-30% of the companies that Romney invested in went bankrupt and many went bankrupt after Romney took millions of dollars out of those companies. Much of the research shows that private equity companies create very little value of society. The U.S. is not a private equity market, so why would we need a private equity 1%er as President?
