His economic acumen would be comical if it wasnt so serious.
His flip flops on regulation
His comment that the American economy is strong....then clarifying it later..."what I really meant was the American workers are the best in the world"
His criticism of Obama contributors and lobbyists influence when he has surrounding himself with former Freddie/Fannie lobbyists, including his campaign manager
His claim that as Chair of the Commerce Committee he was on top of the banking/credit issue, when in fact his committee had no jurisdiction over banking, investment/securities, and related issues (that would be the Banking Committee)
His most recent suggesting that, as president, he would fire the head of the SEC...when the president does not have the authority to fire heads of independent agencies outside of the Executive branch.
