Mitt Romney campaign: President Obama 'has never managed anything'

Mitt Romney casts a spell on his audience, attempting to convince them that the President of the United States of America has never managed anything (Larry Downing/Reuters) Mike Allen previews the Republican muck coming up in the week ahead:

The Romney aide says the campaign will argue that Obama has been 'job-unfriendly' through regulations and 'the negative influence when you do these stimulus grants. It sounds great when you go and promote a business by giving them a grant, but the unintended consequence is it hurt other companies that compete with them.'

A 'Message for the Week' preview from the Romney campaign adds: 'You can't be hostile to business and friendly to job creation. President Obama has never managed anything other than his own personal narrative. He has never created a job and never run a business.'

Sure, he's never managed anything ... except for, you know, the United States government. And as far as that being anti-business, riddle me this, Romneyland: why is private sector job creation actually up under President Obama, while it was down under George W. Bush?

If President Obama is a communist, he sure is a bad one.
