Frontrunner Mitt Romney is taking a lot of slings and arrows from his fellow candidates over his past record as a capitalist at Bain and Company. Romney summed up my initial feelings in the ABC New Hampshire debate last Saturday, when he said that he expected an attack on capitalism from President Obama, but was surprised that it was coming from his rivals on the stage.

This isn’t meant to be a long post, but I am interested in the thoughts of others.

Nancy Pelosi had a press conference today with her House colleagues where she was asked about President Obama’s recent appointments to both the National Labor Relations Board and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Welcome to Open Thread #7. I again closed the previous thread because it was having some freaky formatting issues from the volume of comments. I am going to move the last few comments from the old one to here.

So, again … it’s time to spout off about anything, just in yet a new thread.

There has been a lot of talk about taxing the rich and hoping that taking more money from all of them will really help us out the pickle we have found ourselves in.

Chuck Woolery has his own take on it.

Earth to Warren and Matt – All your money will not make even the slightest dent in the problem.

Although this is not her best video… that would be this… I still got a smile when I saw this Van Halen parody.

Stealing a headline from the host article, this is one scary jobs chart! And since I love visuals, I have added a few additional plots and lines to add even more perspective.
