| You realize that if you're a 1%'er, Harvard basically has to let you in, assuming you're going to donate a lot of money. Same with other prestigious schools. |

This data come primarily from Wikipedia. As long as it hasn't been vandalized since, the specific data can be taken from the myriad sources provided there.
1. President Obama received a JD from Harvard university also, though not a business degree. He taught at the University of Chicago Law School for 12 years.
2. Those schools were already very near the top of the nation BEFORE he took office.
3/4. Romney left Bain Capital in 2002. This was before Bain Capital assisted Burger King, Burlington, Clear Channel, Houghton Mifflin, Dunkin' Donuts, The Weather Channel, Guitar Center, and Hospital Corporation of America.
The revise, accurate list follows: Sealy, Sports Authority, Staples, Brookstone, and Domino's Pizza.
Inflating it with irrelevant companies is an effective rhetorical technique though not one that reflects reality.
5. This is not accurate but still mostly right.
The $3 billion was PROJECTED, not actual. It was slashed pretty quickly to about $2 billion by unexpected revenue from capital gains taxes. Another $1 billion came from federal grants.
It's therefore probably better to say he turned a $1 billion dollar deficit into a $700 million revenue in two years.
Most of this extra revenue came from cutting spending, including on higher education, which quickly led to 50% increases in admission prices.
7. I can't find any source for 7, but to be honest I didn't look all that hard. I'll just request a citation here.
8. This follows exactly the national trend. Giving Romney credit for this is idiotic.

| None of that really matters, now you should judge who to vote for by the debates. The one more capable of negotiating will be able to reach an agreement between the two parties as president. the one with the better ideas is the one you should vote for. |

China is more of an enemy than Russia
just because their leader is an oppressive evil fraud election rigger, does not mean they'd attack. |

@Dx, I do not recall him saying "Russia is our number one enemy", but I do agree with you, China is our number one enemy. Well, should be. Think about it, 1. Put led in toys that kids will most liely put their mouths on.... 2. Caused part of the taxes. 3. Forgot... 4. Killed more than 10,000 Americans in less than 7 hours inside a plane saying "I thought it was a F-16" HELLO!!!!!!! IT WAS A PASSENGER PLANE! THOSE ARE HUGE! F-16s ARE SMALL! |
