The Race for the presidency in 2012 has already started

Mitt Romney one of the top Republicans likely to oppose Obama in 2012 will be in Texas on a book tour March 17-18, in Plano, Dallas and Houston. He'll be claiming that as a successful CEO he knows what's wrong with the U.S. economy and how to fix it. He'll be claiming he is the savior who can create new jobs.

We as Texas Democratic activists need to show up in force at these events which are likely to receive significant media attention and ask hard questions.

How does your experience sending jobs offshore translate into knowing how to create American jobs?

You say you know who to create jobs but after your four years as governor Massachusetts job growth was less than 1% while the national average was 5% making it 47th in the nation. What did you learn from your mistakes in Massachusetts?

You say that less regulation on business will create jobs, how well did that work in the financial sector? How well did that work in the case of Enron?

In 1994 your company, Bain Capital, bought an SCM plant in Indiana and promptly fired all 350 workers, then offered their jobs back at reduced wages. Is that the kind of job creation you have in mind for America?

You ran a private equity firm and I hear you're a great presenter, a great spokesman and a great salesman but how do those skills translate to managing a business which is what you claim makes you different than other candidates?

You claim that you have experience running companies through Bain Capital but isn't buying and selling companies what you really did?
