These are the facts that that Romney and his campaign don't want you to see -- cannot argue with the facts even though Romney spins being 46th in job creation in the Country during the time he was Governor of MA. Romney has not held a job since leaving the Governor's office after one term in January 2007 after leaving a legacy of RomneyCare with a loss of 18,000 jobs and put MA $8B in debt.
Will someone explain to me how Romney would have any credibility on job creation when he didn't create jobs as Governor and has been 'unemployed' for almost five years?

Rick Perry’s Texas Added More Private Sector Jobs in Two Months Than Mitt Romney’s Massachusetts in Four Years
Posted on September 21st, 2011
AUSTIN – In his second false, desperate attack of the day, a flailing Mitt Romney helped expose his near worst-in-the-nation jobs record and his job-killing RomneyCare plan.
The fact is that Rick Perry’s Texas created more private sector jobs in the past two months than Mitt Romney’s Massachusetts did during his entire four years as governor.
Romney’s state was one of the worst in job creation during his term, ranking 47th in the nation.
“Being 47th in job creation and killing 18,000 jobs with RomneyCare is not a record to brag about,” said Perry spokesman Ray Sullivan. “Under Gov. Perry, Texas added more private sector jobs in the past two months than Massachusetts did in four years under Mitt Romney.
During those four years, Rick Perry’s Texas added nearly 20 times as many private sector jobs as Mitt Romney’s Massachusetts despite having only three and a half times as many people.”
While Mitt Romney was governor of Massachusetts (Jan. 2003 – Jan. 2007):
