Is this journalism or partisan public relations?
Romney has spent more time than most in his life working with the poor as well as being a success in business which is the most effective way to bring people out of poverty.
Obama claimed to care about poor people and as a result poverty, unemployment and homelessness has risen as result of his "caring" during his term in office.
Somehow we are supposed to look at the last three years of economic failure and be upset with Mitt Romney rather than the President and his minions who made it massively worse with no plans to change it.
Nice try.
Will we be treated to this kind of confused logic all year?
