Thats a clown question bro.
He played a pivotal role in launching successful businesses like Home Depot and Staples.
He would know that a law like Obamacare which imposes $2000 penalties on every job in USA unless it includes expensive federally controlled healthcare would kill the recovery since there are whole sectors of businesses in America that cannot afford to give this kind of healthcare coverage, nor can they afford to pay a $2000 for each job.
Obama should have known this too----he handed out waivers to his politically-connected friends. He should have known that any business that he didn't give the waiver too would have to close up shop, which is what we are seeing today and why long term unemployment is reaching catastrophic levels not seen since the failed Presidency of Jimmy Carter!

In 2003, before any of Mitt Romney's policies were in effect, Massachussetts ranked 49th out of 50th in job growth.
In 2006, after the effects of more than 3 years of Romney's policies, Massachussetts ranked 36th in job growth. He had achieved a level better than what economists consider "full employment".
Once a state has "Full Employment" there new job opportunities will generally be used by workers who leave good jobs for better ones. Thus net new job creation ranking is actually moot. Dems deceptively cling to a phoney job ceation ranking statistic try and smear Romney using bad job numbers in first years and ignoring full employment achievements at end of term.
If the Minnesota Vikings get the ball 10 times on the three yard line and each time they hand the ball to Adrian Peterson and he scores a TD, would you complain that he only got 30 yards in the game?
If Giselle Bunchen lost a couple pounds due to exercise and diet, should she embarassed that she didn't lose as much as Rosie O'Donnell after one bowel movement....alright now I'm getting gross
