Question

Via a Sully reader:

Romney said "Government does not create jobs, government does not create jobs" ... but also says, "I am going to create 12 million new jobs as president." Is it just me or is there a huge disconnect here?

Also disconnect: if it took Romney 5+ years to finally convince Republicans to like like him, why would we assume he'd suddenly turn into a hyper-competent President whom everybody in Congress would be so eager to work with?
