There is a big difference in Bush's stimulus package and Obama's stimulus action. Bush's stimulus sent checks to the taxpayers, Obama's stimulus gave money to greedy banks and corporations.
To listen to the liberals bashing Romney's corporate experience and business savy, you'd think it was the other way around!
Romney wants to see corporations make it on their own, without government handouts and regulations.
What is the difference in corporate tax cuts and government stimulus handouts from Obama? Read the writing on the wall! Nobama 2012
