Greetings from under Romney's bus

Mitt Romney just finished his “Every Town Counts” tour. Which I think is a pretty strange name for a tour that only included a handful of towns in six states. Guess “Every Town That’s Critical to Helping Me Win” wouldn’t fit on a bumper sticker. Be that as it may, Romney’s last stop was Michigan where he pushed the familiar Republican party refrain – jobs, jobs, jobs. Of course he doesn’t have a plan for specifically creating a single job. In keeping with the GOP agenda, it’s all about “creating an environment” for job creation by further cutting taxes for the super-wealthy while severely slashing government services for everyone else.

Team Obama issued this response to Romney’s tour:

Posted without further comment except to say, these are real numbers. These numbers represent real people. One of those people could be you, or your family or a friend.
