Romney keeps pushing this grossly disingenuous idea that Obama came to office without any experience. Though, within six months of his presidency Obama stopped the bleeding, righted an economy on the rocks and got the GDP growing. It has been growing each and every month now since June 2009. He has created four times more private sector jobs in three years than Bush did in eight. It didn't just happen by itself, it required concerted, determined and capable leadership.

Maybe instead Romney should look at how many Republican filibusters blocked President Obama's efforts, or how many jobs were lost and pensions wiped out from Bain's outsourcing.
