“What I can promise you is this – when you get out of college, if I’m president you’ll have a job. If President Obama is reelected, you will not be able to get a job,” Romney said.

And it be clear: Romney was not offering Ms. Durkit a job in the White House. That would be an easy promise to keep.

Romney’s promise was directed at all college students. He was crystal clear: If Obama is elected they will not find work. But If Romney is elected they will. A guarantee sealed by the promise of a man running for president.
