Campaign promises are pretty standard this time of year, but this one may be going a little too far.
At a campaign stop in Concord, New Hampshire Thursday, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney promised one college student that she would definitely have a job if he wins next November — but not if President Barack Obama is re-elected.
“Why should we mobilize for you as a candidate instead of Obama, which we did in 2008?” Bowling Green University student Kallie Durkit asked the former Massachusetts governor.
“What I can promise you is this: when you get out of college, if I’m president, you’ll have a job,” Romney replied. “If President Obama is re-elected, you will not be able to get a job.”

Having a job is like being alive. The real question is, "What kind of job will I have?. or, "What kind of salary will my job pay?...
Homeless people are alive, but I am not so sure many of us would really think of living as a homeless person who doesn't know when or where your next meal is coming from as living.
In isn't just life. It is quality of life. It isn't just a job, It is what kind of job?

How can these propaganda mongers get away with these messages of false hope for unemployed? Why does the media not call them put on these statements & ask how they will create jobs? Why is there no accountability?
Democrats have to back up their statements with feasible plans & even then the media will dissect them & chew them up; Republicans say whatever is a crowd pleaser without any plan-without any details-without any action points.
So sick of media bias.

An interesting comment by Romney and one I think he's going to wish he had back if (when) he becomes the nominee. It's a little early in the election cycle to get into it now but it's pretty clear that major industries are intentionally not hiring in an effort to undermine Obama.
I would agree that if the GOP somehow prevails, BigBiz will try to make them look good. But I don't think they can hold out through another Obama term so the second part of Romney's statement is questionable.
I think Romney will get counseled about this. Freudian slip. TMI. - 1 year ago

Romney has a third world mentality. A true Capitalist, he believes in cheap or free labor. ,He never said how much she would make, nor did he say exactly what she would be doing( waxing the floors in his many houses).she's there because she is contemplating voting for Romney so she will get what she get's should he win (yeah right).

Of coarse she could get a job if she wants to work for less than minimum wage. There are Many illegal aliens here that have no problem finding jobs because they will work for $5 an hour or less and live with 10 people in a two bedroom house to be able to afford it, that is what Romney is talking about. He wants US to be more like Mexico and China without any socialist government subsidies or benefits of any kind for the people. But he still wants plenty of government subsidies and help for the International Mega-corps that make Billions and pay NO Taxes. Republicans believe that millionaires and Corporations should pay NO taxes and the Billions in tax subsidies that help the International Mega-corps like Exxon should only be paid by the little people who are already paying greedily inflated gas prices. The only welfare they like is Corporate and Banking Welfare. They do NOT care about the people who don't donate Millions to them.
The Republicans want to eliminate minimum wage and overtime laws to allow employers to pay whatever they want and to treat you any way they want without any retirement or healthcare. They also want to eliminate SS and Medicare/Medicaid so that if you don't save for your retirement and buy outrageously expensive insurance on $5 an hour or less, then you are just SOL because you just didn’t want it bad enough or you are just lazy because you don’t want to work 100 hours a week with no overtime and no benefits of any kind. So, if that is the kind of country you want then vote for the Republicans.
