The President used the line ‘guard the change’ in his 2010 mid-term speeches, and I think it’s a perfect slogan for 2012.
But what d’you think?
Any other ideas?
Business Insider: …. Mitt Romney unveiled his much-anticipated jobs plan this afternoon, but instead of the bold, sweeping proposals he promised, the candidate’s ideas came off as scattered and disjointed.
The unabridged plan is fully outlined in 160 PDF pages, but Romney appeared to have a hard time summarizing it into a coherent speech.
After amusing the crowd by showing off a scribbled notepad and promising not use a teleprompters, Romney soon made it clear why some presidential candidates should definitely use cues. His speech was rambling, with Romney criss-crossing the stage as he jumped from one unrelated proposal to the other.
….As part of his Day One jobs strategy, he said he would “file” five bills to promote jobs growth, overlooking the fact that the President does not have the power to file bills with Congress.
…. He let attendees know that his 160-page jobs plan, titled Believe In America, is available to buy on Kindle, but wasn’t sure whether or not it was free.
And to close out the bizarre event, Romney left the stage to Alabama’s “I’m In A Hurry (And Don’t Know Why),” which seems like a strange choice.

But here was Mark ‘Dick’ Halperin’s verdict on the calamity:
Good grief, can the Halperin fool get any more embarrassing?
“Bragging about Bain“?? Seriously, Halperin puts ‘Romney’, ‘Bain’ and ‘bragging’ in the same sentence?!
Go back to playing with your Palin doll, Marky ;-)

Think Progress: To accompany his jobs speech in Nevada this afternoon, Mitt Romney released a packet that laid out his plans. On page 16 of the packet is a chart highlighting statistics from past economic recoveries and is presumably supposed to show how poor Obama’s record compares to past presidents. The chart, however, calls the period of time from 2007-2009 the “Obama recovery,” blaming him for the poor job numbers over that three-year period. As Romney surely knows, however, George W. Bush was serving as president in 2007 and 2008, and Obama did not take office until January 2009.
