| Mitt Romney‘s business background may not be as applicable to government as he says, The Weekly Standard’s Bill Kristol and former GOP presidential candidate Jon Huntsman said on Wednesday. During a Brookings Institution panel, Kristol also argued that Romney’s resume is rather “thin.” The Romney campaign has long argued that the former governor’s business experience makes him well-equipped to run government as well. Huntsman questioned part of this assertion. “I haven’t seen a good example yet of a businessperson come into government and make it run like a business,” Huntsman said. “We forget that the

Comments: Get your duct tape out for this one! This really ticks me off. What in the world is Kristol's problem?? This is the last thing we need is for him spew this insanity to of all places the Huffington Post. It is absolutely outrageous. The leftists will be thrilled to use this material against Romney. It's just outrageous!

And Bill Kristol has a "thin resume" for someone claiming to have an IQ higher than his shoe size.. The abominable pumpkin-faced-Kristol has been a thorn in the side of the GOP since he sabotaged any chance Dan Quayle had in politics by pretending to be his "chief of staff" when he was actually a back-stabbing-ingrate! He is a despicable little reprobate who should be on messnbc along with banjo-boy-joe-scarborough, another so-called "conservative" who sold his pathetic soul to be invited to the cocktail parties, where the demonrats laugh behind his back. Who cares? Whew! That's better!

Some establishment alleged Republicans like Kristol have always been against Romney because they don't think he will play with the old boy network of which they are a part. It's time for Kristol to join the ranks of Peggy Noonan and to be henceforth ignored and driven away.

Mitt Romney ran a large corporation, managed the Olympics, another large organization, and was elected governor of a heavily populated state with a large democrat majority. Very few politicians have the extent and variety of experience that Romney does. Kristol is an idiot who has spent way too much time studying his navel. No more of him please.

When Kristol's parents were young, they were Trotskyites. They came to their sense, became quite staunch Conservatives. It seems, however, that a bit of Trotsky was left in their genes, and Bill is manifesting the signs of regression.
As Michael Savage would say, "liberalism is a mental disease."

Yes. Romney has no experience at all in community organizing, for example. He was never known for taking an advance payment for a book and then failing to write it. We just don't enough about this man, contrasted with President O, who graciously told us everything he wanted us to think in two biographies.
The prez, as a legislator, knew when to vote Present, as opposed to taking a foolish side. Romney took stupid little jobs such as being a Bain executive, a person who pulled the Olympics out of a spot, and being governor of Maine or somewhere in the orginal colonies just for sport.
We don't want Romney to push a lot of stuff such as economic recovery because we treasure fairness of outcome,free cellphones and stretching the Constitution to the breaking point and beyond. So the choice is clear.

Bill Kristol has shown himself to have a thin character. Kristol ,Scarborough , Noonan , Laura Ingraham , et. al. are considered Republican leaders because they can always be relied upon to trash Republicans . None of them has ever had the stones to run for president ,but, tomorrow they'll all be running down Romney's debate performance to impress their media buddies. Any Republican pundit or talking head who aids the media cockroaches and the Obama campaign by trashing Romney in public , 30 + days before this election , when they could easily contact them in private , is a Quisling.

It’s a decision that will bruise egos, create legacies and deeply affect subsequent messaging battles. “Every time the bill is mentioned in the press, you either have a brand that´s positive or a brand that doesn´t mean anything or even hurts you,” said Frank Sharry, the executive director of the pro-immigration reform group America’s Voice.

President Obama is eager to build public support for his health care overhaul in the few months remaining before its implementation, but waning enthusiasm from Democrats threatens his effort right out of the gate. Two-thirds of Democrats now believe Obama´s health care reforms will either hurt them personally or have no effect on their daily lives, a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday shows. In comparison, just 27 percent of Democratic respondents said the reforms would help them. The president has long struggled to convince independent and Republican-leaning voters that his health care blueprint would lower premiums and expand insurance coverage.

RUSH: Folks, I don´t know how else to categorize this. We are living in a dying country. I don´t know how else to categorize what´s happening -- 88,000 new jobs. The unemployment rate, because of a terrible statistic, is down to 7.6%. The number of people in this country who are not working is shameful. Ninety million Americans are no longer in the workforce. Ninety million. People not in the labor force grew by 663,000, and now 90 million. That´s the labor force participation rate. This is 1979 levels.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton explained to the Women in the World summit in New York today that the clock is turning back for women in America. Clinton praised her own mother for helping empower her to success and marveled at the opportunities that her own daughter Chelsea has pursued. But Clinton warned that there is still so much to do to promote women´s rights in America. "As I look at all these young women that I am privileged to work with, or know through Chelsea, and its hard to imagine turning the clock on them," Clinton said.

The Obama White House is scrambling to blame Friday’s abysmal March jobs numbers on the sequester’s trimming of the rate of growth in federal budgets that have yet to fully commence. After the Labor Department announced that a mass exodus of 663,000 workers left the U.S. workforce last month and that job creation fell 112,000 jobs short of projections, Obama’s top economic adviser Alan B. Krueger, took to the White House blog to blame the sequester: It is important to bear in mind that the March household and payroll surveys are the first monthly surveys to look

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,
