    By conservative standards, Tom Wheeler is a job creator.
    Romney creates box stores. Wheeler creates telecommunications companies.

    "raise money for obama ..then get job no matter if qualified"

    What don't you understand about 30+ years of telecommunications business and policy expertise, starting telecom companies, leading them, etc.? Do you require at least 40 years for someone to be "qualified", Captain Derp?
