All the focus has been on Mitt Romney and his 47% comments as of late. The more important number 47 needs to be brought roaring back and hung around Mitt's neck both prior to and during the next debate, considering the fact that apparently Romney's term as Governor was legendary with achievements, according to the Romney clone that showed up at the last debate with all new stances and data (that's a nice way of saying he lied his ass off)
This is nothing new, merely a reminder. There was a nice little article in 2011 by Think Progress that pointed out the following:
During Mitt Romney's term as governor of Massachusetts, his state ranke 47th in job creation.
As soon as they salted the doorway after Mitt's departure, employment growth zoomed to one of the top five in the country.
So, the "great job creator" does have a record - 47th out of 50 in performance. I hope the Obama campaign reminds people who don't follow politics quite as closely as this crowd of that fact over and over very soon.
Here is a link to the article, good to remember with Mitt there are TWO 47s to remember.
