First let me say I didn't vote for Romney or Obama, so I didn't have a horse in that race. But with that being said, I hear the sentiment often that both parties are the same and we are being played by both sides etc. And to a large degree, I agree with this. Both parties have their own interest, and both spend way too much tax payer money on their own causes.
With that out of the way, who here doesn't believe that we would have been way better off if Romney had won in areas like; foreign policy, the economy, the border issues, EPA restrictions, keystone pipeline,honesty, the overall mood of the country,etc.?

I believe we would probably better off with Pat Paulsen than Obama to be honest with you.

I think people who watch Fox News would be happier but not for any good reason.

I don't see how Romney wanted to be president for the money. He is rich. It has to be that he either cared about the direction of the country just as he said in his campaign or he wanted some meaning in his life.

Romney is a business man not a leach who takes from the tax payer to make uncle Harry reid rich. Yes I think we would have been way better off and the jobs would be more plantiful for everyone. But we would still have the dems hollering about the rich getting rich. What they dont tell you is that the lower class benefits from the rich getting rich.

Statism would be moving along at a slower pace.

And , there would be horses roaming the White House grounds.

We would be far better off with Romney than we are today. We would have a vastly better economy (instead of being in a recession like we are about to officially be in) We would be much closer to energy independence and our foreign policy would be much better.

I doubt we would have tens of thousands of illegal immigrants crossing the border daily.

African Americans would not have record high unemployment like they do now.

Those who voted for Obama made a huge mistake and I hope you learn from your mistake.

Romney is proven to be a successful and competent administrator/leader so IMO that's a hell of a contrast.

Blatant corruption would be minimized plus the press would be there to point out wrong doing.

I believe there are quantifiable things you could point to under a Romney presidency that would have put our economic trajectory on a better path than it's on now.

In terms of credentials, Obama is at or near the bottom across a broad range of issues, which shouldn't be surprising for someone with as thin of a resume as he had when elected President, but when it comes to economics, he is literally at the sub-college graduate level.

Dude was never going to be President.
Dems held the trump ace the entire time. Never had to use it. Obama just had to bluff

Well I think Romney actually loves America, while King Obama despises it and everything it stands for.

With Romney as President we would be heading off a cliff... At a slightly slower pace than we are now.

We would be miles ahead of where we are economically, with less problems. The left would, with the main stream media be screaming about how bad Romney made it. It never changes.

If Romney did anything positive we would be ahead of where we are.

Can someone pease tell exactly what oBama has done that Romney couldn't do much better?

Economy , international and domestic relations, national security, policy etc....... Help me understand what Obama has done?

I don't think Romney would have been better in foreign policy and his effect on the economy is debateable.

I think with Romney we've got more troops on the ground than we do now. I'm not sure how he would have done for the economy. I think he knows what the right things to do are, I also think he was bought and paid for by big business who have no interest in increasing competition.
